Stress?: I am wondering if, in addition to physical illness, that you might also be experiencing environmental or emotional stressors. Do you find yourself battling racing thoughts that interfere with sleep? If so have your doctor evaluate you for stress, and refer you to a reputable psychotherapist to help you better deal with that stress.
