I experienced awareness during surgery a few years ago. I tried to move my hands so I could push their hands away from my stomach but couldn't move! And was also trying to breathe against the anesthetic machine very scary! I had alot of surgery prior to that with no problem. After that experience I'm petrified, I have since had more surgery but hopefully no more.

You are chemically restrained and you have no control, I can understand someone developing PTSD. I have never considered it to be the case with me.
