Period Pain
For so many years, I have dealt with period pain. Most of the time, it puts me out of action for a day or three, curled up on the sofa with blankets, a heat pack, pain killers, and a string of Netflix movies to help distract me. Every now and then, it’s a full blown …

Each time I was filled with determination. But here I am, starting over yet again. Yesterday, my husband handed in his medical …
