MOST EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXPERIENCE I went to the health centre for my 3 month-to-month injections. My blood pressure was taken, and it was sky high. The sister advised me I need to go to a hospital ASAP as I could have a stroke. I felt fine. I didn’t experience the warning signs of a stroke, sudden weakness in your arm or leg, facial droop on one side or the inability to speak or understand language.

Periods are gross, terrible, and just a horrible pain in the uterus and are something you deal with on your own and now I displayed mine in front of an audience. I felt as if I couldn't breathe, like the air had been sucked out of the room. All I wanted was to escape. I was taken to the ward that looked like a mental institution. Patients were being treated on mixed-sex wards. It was a big room with beds and chairs
