I did when I had my tubal, it actually was pretty cool, I had some very vivid dreams and when they woke me afterwards I just wanted to go back to sleep so they let me crash for a bit more, not sure how long. It's certainly not scary.Has anyone been through general anesthesia for surgery? If so describe how you felt during the experience. From an autistic point of view
i have had many,many general anaesthetics,not because of surgery as such but whenever i have to have work done on my teeth i have it done under GA at the local hospital because i have severe challenging behavior and very severe sensory issues around dentistry.Has anyone been through general anesthesia for surgery?

oh wow, that's so crazy, I wonder how many people that happens too?I had general anesthesia a year ago for hernia surgery. It was no big deal at all. The nurse told me to take 3 deep breaths and by the first breath I remember seeing my eyelids snap shut then I don't remember anything. It was like a second later I was in recovery and the nurse told my to take deep breaths because my low oxygen alarm was beeping. It was really easy.
They gave me a pain pill before I left which made me sick. The only other thing was that after surgery I became sensitive to chemicals in food and MSG. MSG is an excitotoxin that does bad things to your brain and after researching on medical forums it seems there may be a connection between the two because of the way that anesthesia affects your brain receptors. I now can't eat any foods with chemicals or additives because they trigger severe anxiety and make my heart beat too hard.
