I have just been diagnosed and I am waiting for an operation date
Most of the posts on here are about or from men
I would love to hear from women who have had treatment
So tired, was not expecting to feel so exhausted
Some people do find the anaesthetic wipes them out.I hope you feel better soon.Love Jane xx
Still stings to pee, but not as bad
Just so tired, I can't stay awake for more than a few hours and then have to go back to bed
Awww yes it knocked me too xxx hope you’re healing nicely xxx
That’s what I was like, bed time became earlier and earlier xxx take care and take things slowly xxx
Hi bumblebee, I think I felt like that the first few days, your body just wants to rest and heal and also the relief that you have had the op, you have had an anxious few weeks worrying so now you body just wants to rest. Xx
