>It doesn't seem related to my menstrual cycle, but may be related to my cyclothymic mood cycle. I wonder if they have done any research on the connection between the three. At any rate, before the actual headaches start (and between headaches) solid objects seem insubstantial, everything seems a bit "off", and I describe things that had my therapist writing furiously in his notes. But I now think they're "just" migraine things, not temporal lobe epilepsy or anything more serious.
*****************************Estrogenic hormones (estradiol, etc.) are calcium-channel blockers, so hormone fluctuations could well have an effect on any thing that is heavily influenced by ion-distribution... and *something* has to be messing with ion distribution if it ever turns out that that is involved in bipolar-spectrum disorders, so there are probably other factors involved... calcitonin and calcitonin-gene-regulating factor come to mind, just because those are some things that fall within my limited knowledge, and i am sure that other things, things that influence magnesium absorption, distribution, and excretion, probably could effect things in similar ways, as well as vanadium and vitamin C and vitamin E, but my knowledge of ion ATPases, ionophores, etc. is pretty rudimentary as i am not like a research scientist or anything, just a geek with too much time on my paws.
