Yeesh, I hate cramps. Hate hate hate them. If this is something I get to confront TPTB about post-this-life... oh, I will definitely have some things to say. If I could wish for a superpower, I think I'd want the ability to beam cramps at people. Nonlethal, but stops your in your tracks like damn. Men, be glad you don't have to deal with this shit.

... but you would if I had my cramp-beaming power. Yes, you would. Customer service with a smile on your face? Right, just try. Jokes about PMS? Of the past, 'cause this shit ain't funny. It effin' hurts. If my power were real, it'd be used for good. Global understanding, baby.

At least there's more Kolchak on Sci-Fi. Bless their little hearts.

Thoroughly delighted to have left the world of cramps behind, thanks to the wonders of modern pharmacology.

Though the trade-off seems to be that I sweat much more easily now, I'd much rather do that and keep my room cold (and the students complaining) than have to lie about moaning as I used to before the advent of birth control.

I've tried hormone treatment once. Left me sobbing without reason at random intervals. Never again. Maybe it's that my levels are already high - I get the hot sweats thing already just in the normal order of things. In puberty I was constantly asweat.

But god yeah, that's the part that always gets me - bad enough to feel weak and crappy and pathetic, but to have to grit your way through your regular routine at the same time? Ugh.

Regular painkillers help some. They also tend to knock me out, so trade off there, sigh...
