    None. You're bleeding and need lots of rest to heal. :flowerforyou:

    That was so sweet....coming from a male :tongue:

    But what gets second place in the Absolute Load of Tosh award? The reference to the wife's "week of shame" or "swimming when menstruating is icky"?

    To address one of the commenters and her concerns about possible health problems, I found it necessary to do an in depth inquiry.

    Using MayoClinic.Org and their Symptom Checker system, I was able to get some insight.

    For the following symptoms: Abdominal pain and cramps, nausea, abdominal swelling, gas, weight change
    Symptoms improved by: Eating certain foods

    I was able to narrow the root cause to a few possible options:

    Appendicitis, cholecysitis, crohn's disease, celiac disease, diverticulitis, lactose intolerance and colon cancer.


    This leads to an interesting question that deserves further review:
    What if women don't have any menstrual pain at all, they are all just lactose intolerant with celiac's?

    You can have my dairy when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

    Seems a little violent but if it's salted caramel ice cream I'd be tempted :tongue:

    I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to workout as normal. You're not I'll or injured. If you want to do things at a lower intensity that's fine. I think you'll find that just getting moving and working out will really ease your symptoms. Here's to getting out there and doing it! :)

    Stick with your same routine... A few cramps might cause a "slower" workout but its way better than "no" workout. I find I feel better if I just suck it up and move on... Otherwise I run the risk of not getting back to it.

    So you like your homerotic movies in slow motion?
    Fyi, all the gay clubs in South Florida play 300 nonstop. At least now there is a sequel so they can mix it up.

    I may have to stop talking to you. The 300 is one of the worst movies..

    Yes indeed.

    About sword thrusts through the collar bone, Troy has a few good ones. And the boys are nice to look at too...

    Nothing changes for me at TOM. Why shoulld it? If I cant workout during it then I may as well give up. I dont put my life on hold for it. It wouold be like not going to work while having it.

    Take a painkiller and keep going. Your not going to die.

    LOL, tell my mother the methodist preacher that, she specifically requested it for christmas. I'm thinking you're watching it for all the wrong reasons. :laugh:

    As for Troy, as a long time fan of The Iliad, the movie has a tendency to annoy me. That and I don't care much for Brad Pitt even if he does make a very good Achilles...

    Carry on

    I would like to accept this award in honor of all those who helped me get here.
    This is for the girls who want thigh gaps, the people on cabbage soup diets, the couples seeking free guidance counseling in the forums and the many neglected children who were never taught basic human biology. This award symbolizes their inability to Google search effectively and my acceptance of their flaws. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    Whenever I had cramps I would HATE going to practice. However I've actually only ever had one time when while working out I could feel them. In fact, I don't know if its the endorphins or what, working out makes my cramps feel better!

    Granted this applies to running and upright activities like the elliptical. I would avoid doing any floor work, if for no other reason than piece of mind. Power through, I know it sucks!
