Day 68: Feeling the Blues

One thing about living abroad is that I no longer have access to my usual products. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. It can be good because it forces you to try new things, but it can be bad when the new products don't work as well as your usual ones.

Today was a case in point where the latter is true. I had a severe case of cramps that left me bedridden and squirming in pain for several hours. It was a very good thing I didn't have class, or else it would've been almost impossible for me to focus. Normally, I manage the pain by popping about three Aleve in the morning, but they don't sell Aleve over here, and due to drug restrictions I couldn't bring any in. So I have to buy the local brand of pain medicine, which is only minimally effective on the monstrous cramps I can get.

And I was planning on going out today... It really sucked. I was afraid something like this would happen every month, what with me being female and all, and my suspicions were pretty much on the mark. But there's nothing I can do except endure it. The worst of it passes after a day or two, anyways.
