Still tired after 5 months?

Hello Hyster Sisters,
I had a TAH on 5/11/05. I healed very well with no complications.
Lately, I have been extremely tired( similiar to 3 weeks post op). Has this happened to anyother ladies?

I work full time, home, family, church, etc. However, this fatigue at 5 months is a bit of a surprise to me.
Please let me know your thoughts!
Have a wonderful day!

The fatigue that you describe is really pretty normal. I have learned from the sisters here that it can take up to or over a year to completely heal, and now being over a year post-op, I know they are right. Have you been to see your doc lately?? Maybe you should make an appt. just to make sure nothing else is going on..
hugs to you

I haven't had my surgery yet (it's in a week), so I am not speaking from personal experience, but I just talked to my next door neighbor today. She is the dean of nursing at the university where I work, and she said to expect to feel tired for as long as 3 to 6 months because of the long-term effects of the anesthesia. So that may be a contributing factor. I hope you are back to full energy soon.

I had a complete hysterectomy Jun 24th, 2005 and I still have days when I feel totally drained. I still don't have the energy I used to. I wish you many blessings on your upcoming surgery.

I had my surgery June 7 and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who still gets those "hit the wall" days. Most days I feel so good that I don't remember that I'm still technically healing and I find myself wondering what I did to get so tired. Then I remember, and I allow myself a nap!
