The coping on this thread is sending me. 💀

@DroolingDilo @_nomadic_soul That's not facts that's you.

@sweatyfreddurst @_nomadic_soul Its not just me, many others also wait with taking painkillers out of fear we’re taking too many due to the amount of pain, shame, guilt but also are way less likely to receive pain medication than men in emergency situations.

@DroolingDilo @_nomadic_soul yes!! my gf wanted to have our son w no epidural then she hit 5-6 cm dilation and she couldn’t handle it anymore so she “caved” as she says. i can tell it hurt her mentally to feel “weak” (even tho all the nurses and docs were so proud she lasted that long w her first kid)

@DroolingDilo No fr, and the worst part is, a lot of meds work way better if you take them when the pain starts so it doesnt get worse, and its less effective if you take them when the pain is at its peak

@kaelin_aether Yea and the issue with that is that i can only take 2 per 6 hours so i gotta time it correctly with when my cramps start and when the pill takes effect. Its a guessing game and taking too many is bad for your liver or smthn so im just fucked. Doctors wont do shit either..

@DroolingDilo @_nomadic_soul True dat. I usually only take painkillers when I have a flu. I’m also afraid I could get addicted so I try to avoid drugs unless they are absolutely necessary

@anita_priv @_nomadic_soul Exactly👏👏 not to mention that while i think lots of medicine can be good, we still cant take excessive amounts and for my cramps it takes maybe 5% with 2 per 6 hours and 1 per 6 hours of another kind. Just kinda give up and die on the floor yunno. Cant leave the house😭😭

@DroolingDilo @_nomadic_soul So true, I only take pills if I feel like I’m dying 😹

@DroolingDilo @_nomadic_soul Very much a matter of medical misogyny. It's been well documented.

@MarekKac59591 @_nomadic_soul Its not but keep living a lie and not listening to womens voices i guess🤷🤷
