Last week’s post talked about how PMS pain and discomfort is “expected” in the West — and how women are just expected to suffer through it with the help of over-the-counter pain medication. Of course if you read that post, you’ll know that women shouldn’t and need not suffer every cycle. But there’s another related topic that could almost be considered Part II of what women need to know: Prescribing birth control pills to regulate your cycle is NOT normal, either! It happens all the time. In fact, it happened to me.
