Hi everyone, welcome back to the podcast. I'm Gaia. I'm Thomas. I'm Isaac. I'm Mark. I'm Kayla.

And welcome back. And the last podcast, it was a little bit of a weird noise. So, you know, sorry for that.

Time for a new mic. And Gaia forgot to add the intro. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I forgot to add the intro.

I'll go in and fix it today, but I didn't even realize it till right now. So I wait. I didn't add the intro.

Anyways, in this episode, wanted to talk about something very, very important that people get uncomfortable talking about, which I thought was surprising.

And presenting the star of the episode, the voice of the episode, the star once again, Kayla Swartz.

Yes, Kayla. Kayla. So you're a girl. Yeah. Also, I'm a little sick. So if I sound weird, that's why. If I sound the same, then just my voice.

Kayla, you're a girl. Yes. What's that like? I mean, it's okay. I mean, I prefer it. You prefer it. Yeah. But right now, like I don't prefer it right now, but I prefer it in general.

I'm your favorite right now. Because I'm on my period. Yeah. Does that get you sick? No. No, I don't think so. Does it make your immune system weaker than usual? No, I'll stick beforehand.

Wait, yes. That's not what I want to talk about. Let's talk about periods, periods, menstruation cycles. Yes. When you bleed out of your koochi. So what's that like?

Could you go a little into death about periods in what that is? What do you think? So in middle school, I had really bad cramps like like really, really bad.

I couldn't go to school. It was just unbearable. Really? It was really bad. Where? What do you mean where? Like what part of your body? If that's like my stomach and my back.

Wow. You're bad? Yeah. Like my lower back. It's like your muscle, right? The cramps? Is it like a muscle cramp? I don't know. It just hurts. It's a lot. I guess. That's what they call like cramps. Yeah. Yeah. So basically, I would just have to stay home and I would just be home crying.

Literally, I'll just be there laying down and then like, I'll call my mom, like, my, like, can you lay down with me?

I would just lay down until I go to sleep and then I wake up and then usually I would feel better.

And those few hours of pain were just like excruciating. I couldn't move. It was bad.

So it seems like it's like a muscle cramp. You know, like when I get a cramp on my, a cramp on my calf. I don't, if you want to compare it to that.

I mean, have you ever got one? Yeah, I have. Does it feel like that? Does it? That's worse? Really? It's worse for me at least.

Plus it's longer. Yeah. Oh, that seems terrible. Like no, no position I would lay down and would like soothe it. So I was just like, like, laying down. Just, how long would it last? Like for each, like, session.

Session. Or like in one and one and one and a half. I'm session later. I mean, the cramps is just the day it starts for me.

Because I know for some girls, like, they get, like, some girls that get cramps, like the whole week. Or like for the entire 10, they have it or some don't have a met-all.
