hello all, I too have been experiencing extreme fluctuations in my =
physical symptoms, especially at that "special timeof the month"  In the =
past 6 months or so,I finally figured it out and related the extremes =
with the immanent onset of menstruation. It seems that my pd symptoms =
get very much worse  in the 2 or three days before my period, and =
depending on the severity of that particular months pms it can be worse =
and last longer.  I noticed that my physical-ness deteriorates, and yeah =
it seems like the meds lose their effectiveness and stresses are both =
amplified and harder to deal with( is it pms or pd ,or a delightful =
combo.)  since I realized the situation I have been observing and noting =
the symptoms and yes, it is def, way worse.

as far as sleep goes, what is sleep"  it's 3;15 AM, I actually crashed =
on the couch at 9:20 so Now I;m wide awake.  4-5 hours of sleep is =
usually enough and if I have the opportunity a 20 minute nap in the =
afternoon,  being a self employed artist, I am lucky enough to be able =
to do that.

Since sleep or lack of is such a big part of our lives I think its real =
important to make sure you have a living situation that give us the =
freedom to putter around at 3am without disturbing anyone. I feel that a =
major part of my marital probs related to my sleep disorder and a living =
situation that was very confined so that even using the computer in the =
middle of the night would be disruptive.   Now in my non-married state, =
I live with a roommate whose bedroom is separate from the main living =
area, so I can compute, paint, clean, read, watch tv (hardly ever) or =
whatever I feel like at 2 or 4 am.

Someone else on the list responded by saying we should find something to =
do with the extra time,  No problem at all!  I get so much done, By 6 am =
the sun is rising, I've learned a new language, painted a master piece =
or figured out the way to world peace and inner harmony.  hey I guess =
this makes  pd a blessing, eh?.  we have to look at the bright side.

that all for now=20

thanks for being..
