I come out with lots of pain but i shake like there is no tomorrow and cant get it under control.

I believe it is because they do not give enough support to your head and it goes to far backwards. Fibros have to warn the anesthesiologists to be especially careful with fibro patients. Sometimes this can even bring on fibro.

the last time I had surgery I was scared stiff, I went into a deep panic attack. it took me hours to finally relax. They told me it was common for fibro pt . when I asked when they said the neurons fire at a different pace due to anethesiology . Who new? Isabee

Yes, I have had two pretty bad experiences. First time I had breathing problems for 2 weeks after.

2 years ago I broke out in hives. I spoke to the anesthesiologist, even brought my medical papers.
My ENT doing sinus surgery told him to make sure I was in a "Neutral Spine" position. I thought that was interesting that he knew to make sure my head and neck were well supported. So, I agree with SunnySue. He was an awesome doc. I still broke out in hives but my pain doc says that was probably how they prepped me.

Last year I had to go under anesthesia 4 times for lithotripsies. I am allergic to Zofran so something else was used. The first time I got really car sick on the way home. Better at home was able to eat and drink a little. Second time a little worse. Lot of vomiting and migraine but was able to finally eat a little and keep oxycodone in. Third time it was awful afterwards I was really sick after the car ride and was vomiting a lot. Could not keep meds in or food/liquid. Bad Migraine felt like I was having a heart attack and called an ambulance. At the ER they kept me awhile IV with meds and they offered me to stay the night but, feeling better I decided to go home. Threw up in the car on the way home but, generally was better. Last time no problems at all. Each time was approx. 30-40 days apart and the anesthesiologist adjusted the meds each time I told him about the after effects. Never mentioned anything about having fibro but, it is in my medical records. After the 2nd time I begged the Dr to allow me to take the treatment impatient because of the fibro (and last experience) at least one night and he would not :( Said insurance would not allow it for a Lithotripsy. Thank God my Mom is still alive and able to let me go to her house or it would have been a nightmare.

My last shoulder surgery, they panicked when they were injecting a nerve block, because I got very dizzy, and started shaking. they were rushing about asking if I needed oxygen, I finely told the anesthesiologist to just put me under, then it wouldn't matter! i woke up shaking like I was in shock, but finely settled down. I am getting another surgery in a little over a week, I will remind them of the FMS, and my last experience!
I think the idea of the nerve block, was that I could get less of the anesthesia and also deaden the pain, but I don't know what I am going to go with now?
BTW what did they give you, did you find out?

Like i said i come out shaking forever and bad pain maybe it is normal for us fibro people.

When I came out from having a knee arthroscopy, I was immediately aware of hurting so bad in every inch of my body. The first thing I said to the nurse by my side was "I'm hurting." She gave me another shot of morphine, and I was immediately better. I assumed it was b/c they had me in a weird position during the procedure. But I did hurt all over for several days after that.

When I'm having surgery, I always tell them I'm prone to nausea after, and they give me a patch plus everything but the kitchen sink. It's worked so far.

I certainly do think this is worse on us than the norm.

Ive had two surgeries...the first time I came out of it feeling like Id been beaten..and barfed my guts out..The second time I woke up choking,because I still felt the breathing tube that had already been taken out.It felt like i still had a steel rod crammed down my throat..and I started having a panic attack..feeling like I couldnt breath...ugh I feel like such a freak all the time because everything affects us so much more severely that everyone else.So yea I know exactly how u feel unfortunately..Jess

My biggest good news break through with general anesthetic came about a year ago. I don't tolerate any meds well, and previously had multiple bad experiences including always vomiting for days afterwards no matter what med combo was used.

The good news: The anesthesiologist put a SEA SICKNESS patch behind my ear prior to administering the general, which I left in place until the next morning. It was wonderful. No tummy trouble or headache or etc. I even ate regular lunch and dinner on the surgery day. (The surgery had not been abdominal.)

It was the first positive experience I've had with a general.

Wow... I am so sorry... I didn't see any of these responses! I thought I was going nuts. I was so sick to my stomach. Two days, I barely had appetite. It's better today, but still feeling nauseous. I feel nausea every day, almost, anyway. The anesthesiologist was skeptical of this. Her question was ... Why? I said, I don't know. Thank you all for your responses. I told the staff I had fibromyalgia. I am surprised. I have never come out this rough. The nurse grabbed my shoulder to keep my from rocketing off the post op chair, they put you in, and I had to peel her hand off my shoulder. She was killing me. I'm sure it was a medium grip, but it felt like a vice! Thanks again! Much appreciated! I will see if in the future I can talk to them about head positioning, and maybe even the sea sickness patch. I do get sea sick... haven't been back on the cape may ferry since it happened! LOL!! I did get Zofran before the surgery. I was really surprised how bad I came out. I over heard the nurses say that this anesthesiologist is heavy with the meds. Honestly, I felt horrible! Thanks guys!!

Thanks everyone, now I have something to think about before my surgery in a week! :0) no upset stomach yet, but maybe because I got the nerve block and propophol...

Glad to hear that you serviced,to bad it was a ship wreck experience. We must scare the begeebies out of the anesteseologists! They are already high strung from previous deaths...
