How I Am Programming My Womb To Never Crave Tylenol Again

I started my period when I was 10 years old. And it has been a bloody, wild rollercoaster ride of cramps and anxiety ever since. For years I reached for the painkillers at the first sign of any discomfort, and I can admit I used to pop them like candy with no regard for my damn stomach lining or my health in general. I would consume upwards of eight pills a day as my body slowly adapted and craved more of those little white destructive miracles.

Now that I am getting older I am more conscious of what I put in my body. I do not take my health for granted, as binge watching House made me more aware of the serious consequences of the quiet and innocent vices we assume our bodies will forgive us for, even after years of abuse. But our bodies can only take so much and even it gets fed up with our shit.

With that being said, I am doing an experiment of sorts to program my womb to never crave any painkillers ever again. Two months ago I shook the last two tiny pills from the bottom of the plastic container into my hand. Ever since, I made it my mission to intentionally ignore the aisle stocking the pain relievers at Target. My main motivator is my health, namely my organs. I don’t know about you, but I like my liver, stomach, bladder, and kidneys; and I want them functioning properly for as long as possible.
