That feeling when the pain killers finally kick in

PRAISE EVERYTHING THAT IS ABOVE ME

But for real

If you don’t get to the cramps in time they overtake you and it feels like you are going to die

Then the meds kick in and you are so thankful

I woke up around 5am with slight cramps and a flow this morning, ding ding, my period has started! What a joy!

I finally got out of bed at 6am and popped an Advil right away, because i know that if i don’t get ahead of my cramps they will come for me.

Come to 7am, cramps are getting worse. I decide to pop one more Advil but it is too late. They have struck.

I have to leave my office because i physically cannot concentrate. So here i am pacing the halls of my corporate building, wanting to throw up, wanting to cry, getting shaky, almost feeling faint, praying none of my staff sees me and wants to talk.

The light at the end of the tunnel feels so far. I’m checking the time thinking these Advil have to kick in sometime soon. I’m sitting in the bathroom doing breathing exercises, wanting to push my uterus out and find some relief.

Then, like angels through the clouds, i can feel the pain slowly start to melt away. The MEDS, finally, the MEDS are here to save the day

By 815, i am normal again, with the pain feeling like a dream. I’m so thankful i want to sing to the heavens. All i can say is thank god for modern medicine....

I always get horrible cramps as soon as my period starts. If i pop an Advil in time, the cramps never come. However, if i get on the late end of them, I’m doomed to this hell i had today.

Gah.... uterus why must you want to Kill me every single month...

Anyone else with me???

Also.... how in the world do women have babies! I cannot imagine this pain for hours on end... a hundred times worse! I want children one day but OMGGGGGG 😳
