Thank you for your paper. Your mention of menstrual cycles and stuttering interested me. I have wondered about the connection between dysfluency and biorhythms for awhile. It has been commonly observed and reported that children and adolescents who stutter may have dysfluency that "comes and goes." Other medical conditions seem tomay wax and wane as well; for exampe, all my adult life, my susceptibility to migraine headaches has been cyclical. Every three to four weeks, I become much more photosensitive and migraine-prone. In your reading and research have you run across other biorhythms or biological cycles that appear to correlate with increases in dysfluency?
