I sounds like you have been through a lot. That is a lot of surgery and did you get anesthesia every time? It truely takes time to get over anethesia and surgery can be like experiencing a trama in itself. I have had three surgeries myself and they each left me disoriented for a few months, one major surgery took me almost a year to truely get over.

The one big surgery where I was in the hospital almost two weeks, that was a lot of poking and proding and IV's. At one point I had truely had enough and was very sensitive and even angry. I think that our bodys can say, enough sometimes, and it is a different kind of trama. Yes, it can make one hypersensitve and I would think that things that happen suddenly can startle. I think that when we get poked and proded from surgerys it is sudden here and there procedure, many that happen first thing in the morning, waking up to a sudden presence of a nurse wanting blood or a doctor checking etc.

I don't know about your feelings of being abused when you were young, I never really experienced false memores. Perhaps you are merely relating to early surgical procedures that made you feel invaded somehow.

Trama is trama and can present some Post tramatic stress. How long have you been experiencing this? It is not uncommon to become sensitive for a time and slowly recover too.
