So today is all about the menses!
So I was in boarding school
deep in western kenya...
(ok thats how i felt..its actually not so far from town)
but i digress
anyways
we had been given this large pads by my mum
and when the menses came
thats what we used
however, the challenge of boarding school
is that the dorms are locked during the day
so if u didn't jipanga
then wololo
you may not have enough pads for the day
mercifully the periods were not painful when they started
i was in class 7 (i think)
when i started my menses
years later in high school
they became more painful
but i had painkillers for that
in campus the pain became UNBEARABLE
i remember rolling on the floor
and 3-4 hours later and am good!!
i think i ovedosed on painkillers
GOSH!!
BUT they were like clockwork...
28 days!
the worst was when doing my MBA
my ps started just before the economics paper
i was not myself!
i was in such pain! because if i dont take painkiller before the pain
then no painkiller would work
I actually just wrote my name
answered one question
and left
I had to resit that paper!
that was a first in my life! a RESIT!!
waaaaaaa
now the ps come when they want
and am ok with that...
eish...the things women go through!!
Waaah!!! Now I know what my daughter probably goes through...hii ni apt parenting lesson kwangu. Thanks for the piece
