and I was looking in her contact book tonight where her sick notes are recorded and realised that there is a pattern... she has had a day off around the same time each month in September, December, January and February - with pretty much the same symptoms each time, headache, sore throat exhaustion and general malaise.
Is there some significance in this? She hasn't started periods yet,but could this be some sort of pre-menstrual syndrome?
I was startled to see the pattern but maybe I am overanalysing.
