The Diary Game on Monday, 13/12/2021: My first bad menstrual cramp 🤧💔

Dear diary,
Today being Monday 13/12/2021 has been recorded as the most painful day of my entire womanhood......reason is; menstrual cycle and it's corresponding cramps and mood swings.

Yesterday towards bedtime, I got a natural notification from my body, informing me to be prepared for the usual monthly outflow which I strictly adhered to by drinking my prescribed herbal mixture(works like magic all the time) and dressed for sleep in the occasion that best suited my situation.

I always have some boiled water that comes in handy which I drink from time to time when I'm on my period but it seemed that tactics didn't work today.

A red portable flask for boiled water.

Then I woke up this morning with unmeasured level of pain in my abdominal which totally ransacked all of my morning routine coupled with the fact that there was power outage in the house.

I struggled to do my house chores and to bath so I could leave with my mom to the pharmacy. We got there, I got my drug prescription which I have never done before, especially not for menstrual cramps.

It felt like I was going to d!e so I had to succumb to medical assistant. I got some sleep after using the prescribed drugs. It felt relieving.

I took a selfie after the little sleep I had, 😂.

When I woke up, my mom was already in the kitchen preparing a stomach-relieving soup to help roll away the abdominal pain I was still feeling. The name of the soup is White soup aka "Ofe nsala".

I had some, then spaghetti for dinner and gave thanks to God for having a woman as my mom 💋. I feel much better now.

My special shout out goes to all the girls, ladies, women and most especially @steemwomensclub for being super heroes without capes ❤.
