It's funny that you bring up this question Chanda, because lately, I've been really trying to pay attention to when my panic is worse, and it's definitely worse around the time of my period. You get lethargic, tense, and just generally weak feeling. I've been taking a few steps based on a nutrition book I've been reading and it seems to be helping. Your hormones go crazy during this time, so, naturally, you're going to feel different (i.e.panicky). For your average, non panicky person, this is just a minor annoyance, but for those of us with PD, it's another time to question the way we feel. I've been trying to make sure I eat healthy right before, during, and right after my period. I read that your body loses Manganese during your cycle and that a good way to replenish it is with pineapple. My husband bought me some canned pineapple and the last 2 cycles I've had haven't been nearly as bad. I try to eat it once a day during my period. I also make sure I get plenty of iron by eating more red meat than I normally do. These are just some suggestions of things that have helped me. I hope this helps you too. Good luck.
Mike, you should really try to be more sensitive to the way others are feeling.
