gertie Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I had dental surgery almost 6 weeks ago. I was so stressed for days before the event I couldn't sleep or rest. I made it through the surgery ok with only a headache, sore jaw, & mouth afterwards. My mouth is healed. Six weeks later I'm beginning to have a little more energy but still not my usual self. Could all that stress/trauma to the body cause someone to take this long to feel better? I do have adrenal problems & Hashimoto's thyroid. Thanks.

corina Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm sorry that happened Gertie. I think stress could really do this to your body. I know from experience that surgery (on the body not dental) does that to mine. It's not that I'm specifically stressed about surgery but more what it does to my body!

gertie Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for your reply. I have been surprised by this. I thought the worst part would be the dental work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hi Gertie, I have sluggish adrenals although not full blown Addison s disease. I always feel terrible after a highly stressful event. I can never predict how long it will take to recover....there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I hope you feel better soon.

dancer65 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Stress emotional or physical really affects me. I too can never predict how long the Downward turn will last . I really hope you feel better soon it's rotten when you feel unwell again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arez2row Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 My two biggest 'symptom triggers' are definitely stress and fatigue. Its frustrating- but it is something that I am continually working on dealing with in order to keep my body in check! I find that sometimes after a 'flare up' it can take a while to bounce back. Trying to get extra rest, keeping your feet elevated (when possible) and staying hydrated seems to help speed this process along. Best wishes!!
