      It’s amazing that folks are starting to take this kind of thing seriously. I remember mine being horrendous but also being too embarrassed to speak up for fear of being ridiculed and told to suck it up.

      Biology is so fucking cruel. 50% of the population has to go through monthly periods of pain through no fault of their own because nature decided that was ideal for some reason.

      About time that period pain is taken seriously, especially after that school in Cambridgeshire asking for ‘proof’ of period pain. It’s shocking how little we know about how the uterus works, because there is a lack of research.

      About time too. I fainted in the middle of a busy post office once because I had such severe period pains. I was in my early 20s by that point but I’d always suffered. The post office staff called an ambulance (I imagine to satisfy their insurance/health and safety rules) and I was whisked off to hospital under protest. I still wasn’t given anything for the pain, just checked for any other obvious causes of the faint and sent on my way.

      Age 15-19 my periods were debilitating, I used cocodamol, ibuprofen and meditation lol. I got sent home from college once for looking so pale, and a cold breeze would send pain ricocheting through my body. Age 20+ they’ve been chill.

      I’m glad they’re researching why this happens specifically to teenage girls.

      Good. Never experienced it myself (as a man), but my wife really suffers with them, and it’s likely my daughter will too, one day. It absolutely needs to be taken more seriously, both by employers and by the population as a whole.

      Glad this is being taken more seriously. Seeing my relatives having to power through crippling pain to go to work on a routine basis is concerning.

      Amazing they’re only just doing research into this now, my periods as an adult and post kids is normal but as a teen I was quite badly anaemic and I would soak through nighttime pads in an hour or two. Going to school during them was so difficult but teen girls are expected to carry on as if nothing is happening.
