Now I will grant you I am not one of those new age folk who is look oh what a blessing etc. I cannot stand those people. I am however glad that I know how to deal with it advill is the best etc. I am also tired of the stereotype that comes along that just because a women is upset about something she is on her period etc. Another is the one about the women who all she wants is sweatpants and ice cream or something. I really have things to do and sitting around all day is not one of them. I go the gym and go to school etc. Unless I get really sick( nausea) from a migraine that might occur at the same time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
