"I&amp;#039;ve read about the correlation between stress, anxiety and hot flashes. In one study, women who reported higher levels of anxiety had 5 times as many hot flashes as those who were less anxious. And those who had moderate levels of anxiety had 3 times as many hot flashes as their more stress-free counterparts. Lately, I&amp;#039;m living proof of this study. Just when I thought it was safe to wear turtleneck sweaters and seasonally-appropriate long sleeves, my hot flashes are back with a vengeance. I&amp;#039;d had a nice two-month reprieve or so and had gotten used to the fact that the temperature outside matched my internal regulator. No more. What has changed? My level of stress. I came home from a vacation to heaps of work, ailing family members, taxes, and other seemingly insurmountable problems. Aside from the fact that March is the month of Max&amp;#039;s birth, I&amp;#039;ve always found the soothsayer&amp;#039;s warning to Shakespeare&amp;#039;s Julius Ceasar \u2014 &amp;quot;Beware the Ides of March&amp;quot; \u2013 to portend trouble not only for Ceasar but also for me on the 15th and most other days of the month. Call me superstitious, but I&amp;#039;ve found March to be a time of upheaval, and I&amp;#039;m very glad this month is drawing to a close. How about you reader? Has your March been turbulent or terrific in any way? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
