I am just wanting people who have been in a coma, or people who have worked with or talked to people who have been in one, to tell me what it is actually like. Is it one long sleep, with dreams and diffferent realities. Or is it like been awake within a paralised body?? I am just really interested to know.

To be honest it is a complete and utter pain in the ****, and bladder and throat and anywhere else they can manage to put a tubes to take things from your body and also from venflows and canulars to put things into your body. However you do not feel too much whilst you are out and flying with the fairies, but when you start to wake up and become more responsive thats when it becomes hell on earth, especially when everything is pulled out. I had broken teeth when the breathing tube was placed into me, burns over my body from the paddles of the defibrillator,...but it was worth everything, to get discharged from hossy and be able to go home.

I was induced into a coma in May 2013 due to severe blood loss and very low blood pressure. I wasn't expected to survive. Thankfully I did. My coma seemed to to take me although I sensed something was there to protect me. I still haven't come to terms withitbe a series of dreams where unknown entities where battling to take me although I felt a presence protecting me. I suffered brain damage which effects my short term memory. So I have had to retire from work which takes some getting used to

My uncle fell into a coma after going into hospital for a routine operation. He was comatose for months and when he had recovered I asked him what it was like. He told me that you close your eyes and open them again. The passage of time passes in an instant,there was no pain and no recollection of anything. as far as he was concerned he had only been unconscious for an hour for his operation and the fact that it was really months was the hardest thing to get his head round.
He summed it up by saying that being in a coma is probably like being as dead as you can get without being buried but years ago they probably did bury you.

When i was in nursing school i did work with alot of ones who were in comas. The ones i talked with that did come around just don't really remember anything about it at all. When your body goes into a coma you are just like sleeping in ways but , i myself have never talked to one who remembers anything about it at all, It is not at all like the movies when one all of a sudden wakes up and sits up in bed and says how long was i asleep? lol...

If someone is in a coma, he is unconscious and will not respond to voices, other sounds, or any sort of activity going on around him. He is still alive, but his brain is functioning at its lowest stage of alertness. You can't shake and wake up someone who is in a coma like you can someone who has just fallen asleep.
Some of them are able to return to the normal lives they had before they got sick. On TV, someone in a coma usually wakes up right away, looks around, and is able to think and talk normally. But in real life, this rarely happens. When a person comes out of a coma, he will often be confused and can only slowly respond to what's going on around him. It will take time for him to start feeling better.

I was in a car accident 14 years ago and I was in a coma. It is like being paralysed. I heard everything that was said, I remember my surroundings everything. The only thing is you can't respond to any of this. It is just your body's way of slowing you down so you can heal.

Yes, some days I go about as if I were in a coma.
If a person was in a coma, thats it, they are completely out of it; short of being dead .
