I have poly cystic ovary disease and endometriosis.
There were days I could barely function from the pain.
If you have never experienced it, you really need to take a great big dose of shut the hell up, because you REALLY don’t understand the absolute misery those conditions can cause.
I’ve worked since I was 16, and I did miss work days due to first days. And a few second and third days.
I also have 4 children I gave birth to / adopted over the years.
My company was not injured in the least because I made sure my work was caught up.
Some of you....you really need to get a gripe. If you’re male or a female that didn’t struggle with this, consider yourself blessed. You have NO idea. None.
Geez, I think my laptop must have PMS...I have no idea why it posted multiple times.
Sorry.
Lighten up :)
Your condition is way past the basic cramps. I’m sorry for what you had to go through. It’s debilitating.
In your case there’s no reason why a doctor couldn’t prescribe a day off every month. You would have a legit reason to. Others just need to man-up and take a midol.
