i havent seen it but i have read the same thing that a lot of hollywood celebs has the same problem with sleeping and there are a lot of doctors supplying these kind of drugs not just one
 
I know for the past two months since my father passed away I have not been able to sleep without taking a combination of two drugs and some nights I still cannot sleep. I went the first several weeks after my dad passed with no sleep at all and I couldn't take it any more. I can totally understand how someone in so much physical pain as MJ and suffering so badly from insomnia simply wants relief. This is not to say I agree with anything that has happened, just that I can understand how MJ could have gotten so addicted.

bnjj oh sweetie i hope you are now feeling better (big hugs to you)...
I have insomnia problems too since i was in college and i do take sleeping tabs too when its been days and days of no proper sleep. People who have never encountered this problem would not understand how bad it can get sometimes.
 
People love their conspiracy theories. If you don't like something that happened, just refuse to believe it and create your own reality. And certainly don't let little things like facts and overwhelming evidence sway you.:rolleyes:
 
...MJ's insomnia...Apparently, it is a huge problem in the Hollywood crowd.
It is actually a huge problem for many people who have to take pain medication. It's a side effect of taking stuff like that for a while.

The thing with Michael and the anesthesia does not surprise me. I understand it. I have wished for it, and long before any of this happened.

In fact, sleep disturbance is my #1 struggle right now. My blood sugar is controlled, my pain is managed better than ever, and I am slowly but surely learning to cope with existing in "windows" of lucidity and the various other lifestyle "issues" that come with having to Take Pills, but the sleep thing is an ongoing challenge.

Let me hasten to clarify that I do not compare my own situation to his - for one thing, I'm sure that he needed much larger doses to control his pain - I don't have back injuries from Xtreme Dancing which I am trying to control enough to enable me to continue dancing!

There probably is not a "safe" dosage that would make such a thing possible.

And obviously, I do not have the kind of resources at my disposal that would permit me to obtain unsafe dosages even if I wanted them, much less attempt to treat my sleep disorder with general anesthesia,

I'm just saying I can feel him. And if they will tell the truth, so can a whole lot of other people who have to Take Pills!

:hugs: to you. Ive been there too - lost my dad not so long ago & went without much sleep for ages. I didnt take anything though ... DR did give me stuff, but I decided not to take it (mainly as Im crap at remembering to take things at the best of times!!).

I know everyone says it .. & when you have just lost someone you just feel like going :rolleyes: to anyone who says it .. but time is a great healer & one day you will feel "better". Your loss will never go away, but you will learn to live each day without letting it take you over in one way or another.

:flowers:
