just me, my mobility aids & bags on bags of pain relief against the world!!
getting out & about during my period used to be unheard of.. even getting out of my bed to the bathroom felt impossible for the most part
but I just had my first period of 2026 while on vacation, (a vacation I planned specifically so I wouldn't be on my period but let's be real... I never really know/ have control) and getting out of the house & ~actually~ enjoying my time wouldn't have been possible without my mobility aids, pain relief tools, medications (specifically LDN because i'm 2 months in and never thought a period could be so manageable), taking lots of breaks, making adjustments, and having lots of help from my sisters
but there was a time where i'd rather push through the pain, making it worse, and having to cut the day short, rather than using the tools, like my canes, to add comfort & ease to my days, which allow me to do more of what I love
because if something allows me to do more of what I love, and somebody takes it upon themselves to have a problem with that because they don't understand it? that's on them, not me😚
