Well my monthlies are downright nasty...gut-wrenching, tearing pain, headaches, nausea and massive flooding but I've never missed work because of it. I rarely ever take any sort of medication, for anything. I save my once-in-a-blue-moon painkiller for when my carpel tunnel syndrome is really acting up.

I'm much more likely to call in when stress gets to be overwhelming, so I can take a much-needed 'mental health' day and center myself.

Also, my menses have worsened with each child's birth. They have gotten longer, more painful, and messier. Ugh!
