  1. Hi, computer glitch just chomped up my longer message, so will simply say that I want to caution you about Ambien. I know you have many health professionals, Western & otherwise who have much more experience than I, but I have heard many firsthand accounts of awful side effects (lots of doing weird things in one's sleep with zero memory the next day, also some stroke-like symptoms) -- have also read that it decreases one's REM sleep.
    bless your open heart and your earthy writing with its beauty of a rough stone in water, Irene
