Blossom, you must really like what you get from reading, to not only read frequently in spite of the difficulties but also take the time and effort to post on a forum about reading.

I do love reading. Books were practically forbidden in my house growing up. I was denied a proper education so I read everything I could get my hands on. In 1993 I got online and it opened up a whole new world to me.
There are varying degrees of Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. My sister's is much worse. You can overcome any thing if you really want to but it takes dedication and perseverance. It takes discovering what works for you.
My husband is a slow reader. He is very intelligent, has a bachelor's but his reading takes forever. He hates to read. He will read psychology books and magazines but that's about it. I love to read and I think I read at a pretty normal speed but I've learned that fonts, background and formatting play a huge part in my speed. However there are times I can't read due to my brain not wanting to if that makes sense. I rely on audiobooks during that. I know when not to push it. I do not watch TV at all other than news so this is my main source of entertainment.
