Most of the sick days that I ever took were because of my period.
It was awful working with the public and having mood swings, heavy flow, strong cramps and pounding headaches.
My flow was a monster: I needed to carry lots of protection, lots of ibuprofen, extra underwear and emergency clothing.
Last year, I had an ablation and it has helped a lot.
I still have a lot of pain during my period, but it doesn't last as long as it used to and my flow is nearly gone. I wish I'd done it sooner!
