I've tried for the past week to get comfy and I've counted, I've used mantra, I've gone to my "happy place", and nothing seems to work. One thing I'm battling is a hormonal imbalance. Each month I must have estrogen injections due to a hysterectomy a few years back. I haven't had it sice early February (shame on me). I've been trying to take a more natural approach to my health care. I'm thinking that I've made a bit of an error. Hot flashes and emotions are at their peak (not to mention night sweats and sleep disturbance). I'm about to turn 30 and I know how my grandmother feels. :) I'm trying to get my self under control, but I feel like I will have to give in and go back to artificial means of hormonal balance.
