Rocking on knees from Lee

[Guest guest]

Its me. I read the digest most days, have been pretty well controlled

with my 'regime'- permax, xanax, st. john's wort, no caffeine, no

alcohol (I tested this at Christmas and paid for it), yoga...... I saw

the sleep neurologist who diagnosed rls, told me I could try neurotonin

when the permax no longer works, was very supportive etc.,

But what I really want to mention is the rocking - I was a rocker on

hands and knees, in bed. I have very early memories of getting to sleep

that way. And I used to 'rock' on the couch - we called it 'banging'

then, (more innocent times). I would hurl myself forward and back,

humming a tune 'uhn uhn uhn uhn ....uhn ha ' or (amateur psychiatrists

take note) 'I hate mommmy , uhn uhn uhn '. By the hour. With lots of

little ones and a very busy mom , I guess we learned to rock ourselves.

Now I have a glider rocker in my studio and sit and rock while

pondering, I find it soothing.

We need these little crutches to get through life, I think.

That's all.
