The Symptoms We Thought Were Normal

So many of us learned to live around pain instead of questioning it. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not overreacting.

I thought everyone had periods this painful.

I stopped participating in activities because I couldn't predict when the pain would hit.

I kept treating UTIs, but nobody looked deeper.

I thought missing class every month was just something I had to accept.
