ANDY'S ANSWER: I don't think anyone considers their period to be a fun thing. It can be a minor inconvenience in the least and sometimes it's a much bigger issue to cope with. But your life doesn't have to shut down just because you're on your period. Usually PMS issues disappear within a day or two of your period starting, but in the meantime there are things you can do to alieviate some of the discomfort.
