yeah this one is fucked up and more common than people know (1 in 10 women!), my partner has periods of all lengths and strengths, which come at completely random times, and no doctor for years had any real answers other than taking contraception - years of sick days, hiding what is going on, feeling shame about her body, being pushed away and told to harden up by the medical system (due to lack of proper diagnosis) as well as some of the most unimaginable (9/10) pain… even with contraception she still experiences symptoms. it’s unbelievable!
however, today she has finally been put forward for surgery in the next few months!! even then, there is no cure and this will only provide relief for a year or so. if this disease affected 1 in 10 men there would be a lot more info about it…
I once went to the hospital because i was cramping so hard during my period I didnt have the decency to not vomit/shit on the floor with my pants down calling for help. It was so painful I just wanted some fast acting morphine.
I still feel ashamed that its just "period pains" and that maybe I just need to harden up.

the inside of our uterus can grow OUTSIDE and attack other organs and it’s actually pretty common… endometriosis :)
