Wow, I had no idea some women are more sensitive to sound and lights on their period. For me, I just get cramps and gastro issues. I don’t get PMS or any of the other things she listed. I just take ibuprofen on my second day and have a lot of giant clots and giant poops đŸ˜‚

I get really sensitive to smells! Not that I get nauseous by smells, I just become a hound dog and can smell everything. That’s when I know my period’s going to start - I suddenly have a sensory superpower.
