It always starts with confidence. “Maybe it won’t be that bad this month.” Then the cramps arrive. Suddenly, sitting hurts. Standing hurts. Existing hurts. Every task becomes a challenge, and the only thing on my mind is negotiating with my uterus for a ceasefire. 😭 A few hours later, the painkiller I was determined not to take starts looking like the best decision I’ve ever made. Anyone else turn their period into a completely unnecessary endurance challenge every month? 🎀 . . #PeriodHealth #MenstrualWellness #PeriodProblems #PMSStruggles #CycleCare - @getsparkle
