Periods!

Does anyone else suffer from the menstrual cycle problems mentioned in that report?

I came off the pill two years ago, six months after returning to a flying job, and still have not returned to a regular cycle. I had put it down to the fact I'd been on the pill for over 10 years, but now I'm thinking it's probably the job that's the cause!

I also suffer from a very short attention span, am forgetful, and feel I'm getting stupider and stupider the older I get. I get frustrated during conversations when I can't remember the word I need to get my point across, and also forget what I'm talking about mid sentence too. I thought it was down to lack of mental stimulation in the job, but perhaps my brain is dying.
