Painful Periods are Normal…Right?

Have you ever seen the videos of men who go through a period or labor pain simulator? As women we often laugh at men’s reaction to the simulation as they now know the torture many females have to go through on a monthly basis. Although it is absolutely hilarious watching these videos, for many women it can serve as a reminder that having a period means a week or more of curling up in a ball crying, scarfing down loads of chocolate and yelling at their family for breathing. So would you believe me when I tell you that it’s actually NOT normal to be in pain or to be grumpy during a woman’s period?
