Camilla, Yes, you're right on the mark about stress contributing to "off" times. Right now I'm working on the computer because I'm off after preparing and serving an Easter dinner for family and company. Part of it is caused by eating, but part from the extra resources that our bodies call upon at such times. I'm on sinemet CR, so I can take a nibble of a 10/100 to get things started sooner. Be careful about over-medication, though. Sometimes I can be off and then everything kicks in at once. That can be almost as bad as the opposite problem. Good luck. pine`
