The discomfort of simply losing blood from an orifice was my main problem, and I didn't imagine that one day the pain of it would be so great that I would be proscribed codeine...(a friend of mine is proscribed Morphine)... I can not work if I take to codeine, hence it was a choice of...pain and work, no pain and dope stupor. What was my bastion of safety was blessed depo- provena which gave me period free months... In fact, I would take it, then take it three months later, and it would keep my period away for a year. I'd get the first period which would be 'okay' then the second which would try to make up for the pain, and get another shot. For me, menopause was a blessing. I can not stress enough how bad the pain was, and the medical mentality to either tell you to 'deal with it' or use some hokey crap, or proscribe narcotics so you'll be unconscious most of the time.

I’d get the first period which would be ‘okay’
then the second which would try to make up for
the pain, and get another shot.

I have had painful periods since my teens. Doctors' reactions have ranged from "Deal with it," to a prescription for vicodin (thankfully). I'm relieved to know I'm not alone with this issue. Christopher, imagine you had pain so intense that it made you throw up (like someone kicked you in your balls, assuming you have any); imagine it was constant and unceasing...and you went to a doctor for help, and they told you, "Deal with it and move on." How would you feel? I felt angry and desperate and still in pain. Oh, and btw, dipwad, this is while I AM taking birth control pills. And I had an unmedicated childbirth--and sometimes period pain is much, much worse. Why is it you are offered copious pain medication in labor, but not during a period? Does that make sense?! Caitlin, totally agree, too! And I really loved the original post--hilarious. This has been very...liberating. I really hate that enjoy your period slogan, too. THANK YOU, Jaylar!!

Last time I read Websters dictionary those words (annoying, uncomfortable, and hell) weren't categorized as happy words. As a woman who has menses I can say the only time I've been barely happy to see aunt flo was after I (being safely sexually active, yet still paranoid about pregnancy) had a 2 month sabbatical, and that relief lasted for 15 minutes or less, then it seemed like my body had to make up for lost time. Either that or I got unused to the baggage that comes with aunties arrival. The point I'm making is, whatever side of the spectrum you're coming from, offering an inane comment like "have a happy period" is inconsiderate to women who live with inconvenience or hell every month for the majority of their lives. And Christopher, I recommend you go get a sex change, have a couple years worth of periods, and then come back and comment on the ease of reducing PMS.

Instead of acknowledging that you are fortunate that you do not have a monthly situation that makes your life miserable, these stupid female abominations attack the women who do. Their lack of compassion is why they deserve the destitution that inevitably awaits them. These female abominations are usually punished by having husbands and boyfriends who cheat on them with dominatrices whom they pay to behave the way that REAL women don't have the luxury of choosing to do. Remember that the next time you embarrassments to femininity believe your own crap about how much "he loves you". To the stupid female creatures - victoria and maria, primarily:

I can't tell you how much I want sex before I start.This is how my body tells me, "that time of the month" is near. I guess I am one of the few lucky women in this world that doesn't want to kill someone because my hormones are going crazy. I get emotional by not not "psycho". It's not always been this way, I used to get those feelings but somehow I just don't anymore. That said, I think we can all laugh at how this has got one group of people to completely open up about an issue we wouldn't normally even consider talking about. Simply because a guy named Christopher posted a comment he clearly knew nothing about. I think he will reconsider he actions next time. Or maybe research the issue before posting a dumb ass comment on a subject, clearly directed toward women. After all how could he possibly try to give advise in an area he is so uneducated in. It would be similar to a woman giving advise on erectile dysfunction, by stating "hey just cut the penis off". Problem solved. p.s. Have A Happy Erectile Dysfunction Christopher.

I always think it's wonderful that a few days out of every month I can blame my hormones for my abnormal behaviour. Hurrah! Let's pray men never find out that THEIR hormonal rollercoaster is much more up and down than a woman's will ever be. As for the pain? Well, not denying that, but then again there are a myriad of painkillers available these days. Isnt it great how the myth of women’s troubles are kept alive by women?
