And in other news, water is wet
Not like women have been telling y'all this since the beginning of time or anything.
I mean, yeah, at one point three years ago I was curled up in a fetal position literally screaming/crying/gasping for breath on my bed in my dorm room, so my response to this headline is basically, “No shit.”
No wonder women are so likely to ignore heart disease/attack symptoms. If something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.
THAT LAST COMMENT
!!!!!
No seriously. There aren’t enough people who understand how important that last comment is. I lost my right kidney four years ago because of “if something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.”
My. Fucking. Kidney.
Don’t force people with periods to internalize and silence themselves when they have cramps!
Also, generally speaking? Cramps are NOT supposed to hurt THIS much, and it MIGHT be a sign you have endometriosis, a woefully underdiagnosed condition. :(
This makes me remember the times I’ve gotten cramps to points where I almost pass out because the pain is unbearable.
And it took a man, bringing SCIENTIFIC NUMBERS TO OTHER MEN, for them to go: Oh.. they weren’t kidding..
