Summary
Crane 23051, a Reddit user with moderate ME/CFS, had surgery for cysts in October 2025 and was unbelievably uncomfortable, restless and exhausted for the first week, barely getting back to their normal state. They blamed the adrenaline rise and pain afterwards for sending them into a really bad state by their next post. They expected at least a month to get back to their moderate state.

Their words about each treatment
- surgery for some cysts · Worse
Just had surgery for some cysts. It's been about a week now and I'm BARELY getting back to my normal but it is coming back.
In context ↗ - Local anaesthetic · Worse
Local anaesthetic. The adrenaline rise and subsequent crash from the pain afterwards I think is what's sent me into this really bad state.
