Should Paid 'Menstrual Leave' Be a Thing?

[Neoma]

50. I have severe endometriosis...

Which is the lining of the uterus growing outside of the uterus, and when I'd get my period, it would bleed in those other places and it causes scar tissue that could destroy my reproductive system. It can be in weird places, my sister inlaw had it in her throat.

I would be bedridden each time I had my period. I'd throw up, I'd cry, I'd be encapable of walking without cradling my stomach. We found out about endometriosis only after they discovered I had a six centimeter cyst on my left ovary. Because of the weight, my Fallopian tube wrapped around my left ovary. The single most painful event in my life.

I have it around my rectum, I know they couldn't get that. But they said it was so extensive they had no idea how much is riddled through my body. I might get surgery again because of bladder problems. I have to go around sixteen times a day when 8 times a day is normal. I've also been getting kidney problems that doesn't seen to be related to an infection.

Because of all that, I reccomend anyone who is encapable of crawling out of bed during a period, to seek medical help.
