UGH!! Gall Stones are the worst!! I some how put up with that agonizing pain for 6 months before going to the doctor.. and had surgery within 2 days! He was kind enough to take pics of my GB after it was removed and let me tell ya-- it was freaky looking! He said (and it showed in the pics) my Gb was jam packed with stones. And he was amazed how long I delt with the pain.
I too have been the lucky recipiant of ovarian cysts and when they burst it is excruciating pain. I think sometimes I'v been so exhausted from the pain I just fell asleep! I hate taking pain meds but at times def needed. Really, my recent surgery (breast implants) made me understand the need for those pain meds! I figured since I endured a c-section and Gb removal, I would fly right through this procedure..BUT it kicked my butt! Wow, I literally slept the whole entire 1st week post op.. with of course the help of my hydro's!
So yes, I do believe our bodies can continue to stay in sleep mode during extreme physical pain. And at other times the pain is too much and our brain signals us to wake up and get some relief!
