Re: can't read

[Guest guest]

a and others...

I had this problem for awhile when starting oxy. I also am a

voracious reader. What I did for myself that helped a little

was to not sit or lay down to read. I would make sure I was

in a position that wasn't conducive to sleeping.

Sometimes I would stand at the kitchen counter or stand and lean on the railing

around the balcony. I had to swap being totally comfortable

with being able to stay awake long enough to get through a few chapters. I am

sure there are a lot of 'downsides' to this for each of us, I am just passing on

what I did.

I know at least for myself, if I have to make changes there is usually a " if I

want to do 'this', I will have to give up 'that'... " type of dilema.

Good luck with this.

Happy New Year to ALL.

Hi a,

I wasn't sure if it was just me. I also take oxycodone for pain and

they make me sleep all the time. It seems that's all I do is sleep. I

also love reading, but I fall asleep if I'm reading, watching t.v. I

have even fallen asleep while driving 3 times. I'm sick of living this

way.

But you have a DR that will give you something for the pain. Mine

wont. He says that fibro is related to chemicals in the brain so it

is not real pain. Hell it sure feels like real pain to me!!
