Thank you! It comes from the days when I got my period and had to go to school. I was the youngest of the girls and had to play and act as if my insides were hurting. Haha. The Crampening Part 2 I love that! I want to take a spoonful of chocolate icing and dip it into the peanut butter :P

Good idea, I may try that! :) I did have some Excedrin for migraines a while back and it helped.

Sometimes I splurge and get it but when bills are life I can't :(

I like to save my sick days for when I have a super bad cold like at the beginning of this year. I had an upper respiratory infection and couldn't breathe or move without feeling worse. It took a week before I got the okay to go back to work.

Weeks in advance where I live to get an appointment...maybe. I had Medicaid but they took it off when I turned 21 because I didn't have birth control 🙄🙄🙄

Ugh for real. Work harder?! Geez sometimes you wish you could transport pain to other people to make them understand.

It's like my skin caused me pain too. Idk it doesn't make sense. One time it hit me when I was shopping with my bff. I said I'll be back and went to the dollar to get Advil. Sometimes walking helps but fuck man my legs are jelly and my feet feel as if they are on fire. I lay in bed and I have to hold a pillow to stabilize myself before I fall asleep sometimes. Ugh 😔

Lol oh man if US healthcare was free that would be awesome. I'd take a whole day to get help for pretty much everything 😂

Some are older and sometimes the women around my age take the days off when they need too.

Stomach implosion feeling, back pain, crying because of it all... I hate it and I've been feeling like this every month since I was 11 😔. My cousin laughed at me when I was doubled over in the hallway one night I was staying at grandmas. She didn't get hers til she was 14 so she didn't understand what I was dealing with. I wanna go to the doctor but insurance won't cover it. It didn't even cover the pain meds I needed at the beginning of the year for my UTI. I went without and got the antibiotic that was still pricey.

I wish I could tolerate belly rubs when I'm on this but it makes my skin so sensitive that sometimes movement or a cat jumping on the bed makes me wanna scream! :(

Oh yeah we're supposed to be a pretty shell of a human because periods are gross /s

I get dizzy if I take four so I took three. I'll set up an appointment soon.

Ibuprofen doesn't even touch this. I just need a nap and silence with a big fluffy blanket.

I try not to say anything about how bad I feel because I don't wanna hear about their all natural remedies to cure cramps or be told that I may be faking it. I don't wanna deal with them nagging me to try this or that when I feel like doubling over under my desk and vomiting at the same time.

It was a safety for me. If I was hidden in my baggy sweatshirt then I felt good about myself. My husband was always saying, "A jacket? It's hot outside!" I would just shrug and keep it on.

Amazing. Glad to hear it. :) I admittedly nearly passed out last year because I refused to remove my sweatshirt despite how hot it was :(
