Question for the Girls!

Any of you find your monthlies really difficult to deal with - (and I'm not talking your stereotypical mood swings)? I have bad sensory issues, hating most internal bodily sensations and also touch.  As a result the cramps and bloating I get every month drive me crazy, like I want to tear my body off and just leave.

Painkillers just make me dozy so I can't concentrate which makes work difficult  and frustrating too.  It's the one week in every month where I wish I could just withdraw from everyone and everything.

Just me?
