I head out to the NIH on Sunday night. I am anxious. I have been having a little bit of trouble sleeping which I can only assume is nerves. I think I am afraid that the doctors are going to find something previously undiscovered or perhaps determine that the Kineret shots have not been working.
Solution...I am just going to have to wait. Waiting is difficult. Waiting gives one a lot of time to ponder the possibilities. Possibilities are endless....
One of the ways I have learned to control anxiety is to get out of the mind and into a pattern of bodily control. I have done this through controlling my diet (switching over to a "whole foods" diet), maintaining a regular schedule, and getting plenty of sleep. It has all helped but the switch from mind to body is temporary.
What I need to do is learn to live with the uncertainty and for me that's hard.
