      Feeling worried about having surgery

      By xijof · Posted

      You’re going through a really normal response to a big surgery. Feeling tired, weak, out of it, and having little appetite 10 days after a hysterectomy is expected. Your body is still healing. On top of that, anxiety, especially with GAD and hypochondria, can make everything feel more intense and make you doubt your decision. Many people feel exactly like this physically and emotionally after surgery. If you want more guidance and reassurance during recovery, resources like drjefflisiecki.com can be really helpful. It does get better over time. Rest, gentle nutrition, and giving yourself permission to heal are key. If anxiety spikes, reaching out to your doctor or a therapist for reassurance can really help. You’re healing, and it’s okay that it feels hard right now.

      Weight loss

      By xijof · Posted

      Rapid weight loss like that can happen when anxiety or stress suppresses appetite, but losing ten pounds in four weeks without trying is significant and should be checked out. It’s good that you’ve seen your doctor. Make sure to follow up, discuss your ongoing symptoms, and consider picking up the prescription to help stabilize your appetite. If you keep losing weight or feel worse, it’s best to go back to your doctor or the ER to rule out any underlying medical issues.

      Right eye red patch

      By Ironman · Posted

      Yes - it was probably just some irritation.  If the redness had gotten worse, a doctor would probably have helped. As long as it improves, you're good.

      Right eye red patch

      By AbeLinkedIn · Posted

      I looked again this morning and saw some of the pinkness is gone from one corner of the eye but I have a red spot, probably where I've been rubbing. I need to stop it but my vision hasn't changed. Is this good?

      Right eye red patch

      By AbeLinkedIn · Posted

      So a couple of hours ago I noticed some discomfort and wateriness in my right eye. My vision is fine and still is for the record, but when I went to look in the mirror, one side of the eye is reddish pink and the other side not so much. It's not so much pain as in severe pain but more of an annoying "this didn't use to be here" kind of thing but the redness and such is what's tripping me out.  I do have HBP but I don't know if that hurts or helps me. It gets better with compresses but I need to know if it's something I need to worry about. The discomfort/pain is on the side with more redness, I think it could be a burst blood vessel but IDK what could have done it aside from maybe sneezing or rubbing it wrong.
