So thrilled to see my colleague, collaborator, & friend, Dr. Laura Payne, publish her brilliant neuroimaging work on menstrual pain in adolescents. Truly groundbreaking.

Payne et al. find that menstrual pain severity, interference, and cumulative menstrual pain exposure were associated with functional connectivity of 3 key brain networks in adolescent girls with menstrual pain. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/40epspO

Does my period know it's discriminating against my nonbinary body or do you think I should let it know? Asking for a friend 😣 #NonBinaryStruggles #PeriodPain #MenstrualPain #Menses

Ladies, women, girls,
people who menstruate...

You're not "being a baby"
about the #MenstrualPain
you experience.
You're not overreacting.

No one who cares about you
should want or expect you
to suffer, to put up with it.

"I had to" is not a reason
to perpetuate suffering.

i always had this song from khia stuck in my head when i moved through the world in pain. it just hurts at too many spots at once …

i guess the human bodily experience has just so much to offer! it can be quite overwhelming!

this is a comic called „so hot it’s hurting my feelings“. it shows a woman touching her neck, back, intimate area and butt. at first it looks sexy and seductive but she is actually in pain and touches the parts that hurt. in the last picture she lies down with ice packs and hot water bottle to get some release.
