ephemeromorph, If period symptoms were caused by anything other than a period, we absolutely would take time off work for them. We've just normalised that if it's a period you have to power through it. (I'm not even talking about the bleeding; if THAT happened without a period you'd go to A&E. I mean all the cramps and nausea and general tiredness and achiness. No-one should have to work on the first day of their period.)
