But dependency doesn't have to mean he was addicted. I had my tonsils removed when I was 23, which I can tell you hurts like hell if you are an adult. For a week or two, I had a depency for pain killers, simply because I wanted the pain to go away. As soon as the pain got less, my pain killer use got less, until I could do without.
@gina, my comment is directed more at cascio not you hun. sorry i didnt specify.however i dont think taking a few pills when under this pressure makes him weak. the stress he ws under was enormous.easy for us to say, have a glass of milk or do some physical activity to go to sleep.have you ever been under extreme mental stress. anxiety. i know i have. and i know that they were nights when i could not sleep no matter how much exercise i did. no matter how much milk i drank, etc. if there is extreme stress, the brain finds it hard to let go and shut down. the 'mouse wheel' is still turning so one cant get to sleep.in regards to your comment abt physical activity. MJ does more physical activity than any other performer. we know that. esp is the dangerous period. so i dont think your suggestion would have been a solution for him.the issues with the accusations were not simple issues. they were complex. therefore needing more than a simple solution. perhaps medicated sleeping was best for him at this stage.also what would we know? we only get this info from the media... how do we know a doc wasnt professionally medicating him to sleep and then his prev manager wants to throw mud and say he had drug problems. everyone loves throwing mud at mj. and if they get paid for the interview then that 'mud slinging' is an 'investment'we really dont know the extext of drug abuse or if there was any at all.and if there was, it certainly does not make him weak. or anyone for that matter. we are all human. MJ is human. amazing yes. but not superhuman. hard to believe i know....my point is, we all have physical limits.
If his insomnia was so severe he could have consulted a specialist. Why bother using drugs that are not for sleep? It doesn't make sense to me. If I have a medical problem I go to the specialist doctor right? I don't go to a cardiologist if I have a headache. I don't go to the dentist if I have a gynecological problem.It doesn't make sense what they say he did.
The 999 of the '1999' stands out to me.That, and the mention of the Pepsi fire - 9282 days - from birth to fire and from fire to "death".And if you add up all these numbers - 11/13/2011 7:22 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF - you get 21 which is 777!
I notice that there are several times listed where he was "allegedly" taking pain meds, or sleep meds due to stress. I notice that 2005 is never mentioned. Wouldn't that be one of the prime times he would be under the most stress? Tom Meseraeu even said "I was around him at the lowest point in his life and I never saw him in that state (slurring). He was always articulate." (those aren't his exact words, but you get the picture)
Frank is in on the hoax IMO. I have this book arriving by snail mail as I type. But I'm reminded of his cameo in David Gest's doco Life Of An Icon where he talks about MJ not arriving at the gig for opening on the 30th aniversary concerts. Upon where he found Michael off his tree on demerol and had to get him to the show. I call B.S. In the foreword of The Man In The Music...Anthony De Curtis writes his observations of Michael as he was, during the rehearsals for the Maddison Square concerts. He goes on to say MJ was relaxed and completely in control. His tone was always friendly, respectful and professional. And Michael was very focussed. To me this doesn't sound like a drug addict.
During my few years of working in a hospital, I know for a fact that some interns and residen doctors did give themselves propofol and a few other drugs to get a quick nap and wake up refreshed when they were on 48 to 72 hour call schedules. Sorry to burst any bubbles, but it did happen and probably still does.
