Hi Katie, This is Paula from PA. I have been telling my neurologist for 11 years that my pills don't work well during my menses. I keep hoping with any information I can share will help with research. I've documented where applicable on clinical trial forms. Also, it seems to me that it could be toxins plus a virus. I think we PDers were just "lucky" enough to get the right genes and atmosphere to breed this monster. I take it one day at a time.....and try to look for the positive side...but no one can make me totally accept this nightmare. Best of luck to you and everybody on the list.
