I rarely call in sick for actual illness, but I've used several of my sick days for cramps. Some girls aren't lucky enough to
just get cramps. Some of us get leg cramps, back cramps, headaches, diarrhea and nausea to go along with our regular menstrual cramps. I've had cramps so bad I've actually vomited from them. So if all you need is a water bottle and a couple of midol, consider yourself lucky
My sister has never had a cramp in her life, and I don't think I've ever been more jealous of anybody... ever.
