>Sorry all, I'm just having a really rough day today. I'm hurting, and I
screwed into five hours of overtime. (as if the first nine hours of today
weren't bad enough!)
>Does anyone have ANY SUGGESTIONS on how to make a skeptical boss understand
what I'm going through? He looks at me and thinks I look fine, so I must
just be trying to get out of work. *sighs* All the doctors and emergency
room visits don't seem to convince him otherwise. And my family is even
worse. My mother, who is a very traditional woman, says that "cramps are
just our curse to bear... because EVE ate the apple." *sighs* How do I
explain to her that this isn't just PMS, that my insides are as lumpy as the
Rocky Mountains. How do I make her see that I'm not being whiny or a pain
in the ass... I'm in very real pain. Please... I'm only 22 years old, and I
really want (and need) their support.
>If it weren't for an extremely supportive and understanding boyfriend, I'd
be in the loony bin by now... anybody? anything?
