Default Rip Van Winkle

My typical day is:

1 Get up and get ready for work.

2. Put in my regular 8-1/2 to 10 hour day (government work - what can I say?)

3. Come home and nap for two hours.

4. Have dinner with my dinner pills

5. Nap for another two hours

6. Have "bedtime pills" and go to sleep until it is time to start over

This has been almost every day for the past 7 months except for the days I am too exhausted to go to work. The first time it happened, I was so 'dead to the world' that my wife took me to the ER. I believe that it is the Humira I am taking for Rheumatiod Arthritis. The manufacturer and several doctors have researched this and claim that this is not a know side effect, but it always gets worse about 24 to 36 hours after each injection.

My rheumatologist thinks there may be an unusual inter-action with the oxycodone or some other drug I am taking. This may be the same with you. Keep asking your docs and make sure they know EVERYTHING you are taking. Even some over-the-counter meds can have inter-actions.

Hope you get to the bottom of this.

Signed,

Rip Van Winkle (Mike)
