Moments of gratitude exist on Earth

Thank you, John Guillebaud & Dr. Imogen Shaw.

"John Guillebaud, professor of reproductive health at University College London, revealed this week that research shows period pain can be as 'bad as having a heart attack'. He said: 'Men don’t get it and it hasn’t been given the centrality it should have. I do believe it’s something that should be taken care of, like anything else in medicine.'”

"Dr Imogen Shaw, a GP specialising in women’s healthcare, welcomed his comments, saying: 'I wouldn’t say [period pain] has been hugely investigated,' and when asked if the issue would be taken more seriously if men experienced it, said: 'I suspect there would be, being very cynical.'”
