Being a woman, I completely sympathize with you about how bad your menstrual cramps are, but if it's interfering with your life (i.e. causing you to lose a job, etc), why don't you talk to your doctor about what options you have to improve your symptoms?
I realize there's the possibility that you already have, but I have no way of knowing for sure. If you haven't spoken to a doctor and are still experiencing these problems, you should look into birth control. I used to have excruciating pain during my period but once I started taking the pill the pain was reduced to minor cramps on the first day of my period. Of course, it may not work for everyone, but if you haven't tried it, you should think about it (unless of course it goes against any sort of religious beliefs, morals, etc, that you may have, in which case I hope you can find something that will help, such as a herbal remedy or something!)
To the guy who asked the question - I agree! I can understand why some women would be a little bit crabby during their time of the month, but some people take it too far and use it as an excuse to treat others with blatant disrespect. However, there is a condition called PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder)that can cause severe mood swings in women during PMS, as well as many symptoms similar to depression, so try and be sensitive when dealing with cranky women, because they may actually be suffering from a real problem that is out of their control. Just a thought!
IIN to hate it when girls use their periods as excuse to be assholes?
