That’ll Put A Cramp In Your Theory

I am at work and start getting cramps. I have endometriosis so I need to get painkillers in my system before my period starts or I become incapacitated from the pain. I forgot to refill the container I bring to work, so I don’t have any pain relief on me.
Me: “Hey, [Coworker], do you have any Tylenol? Or any other pain killers?”
Coworker: “No, I don’t take any medication. If you’re needing something like that, it means you have some deficiency, and your body’s telling you need to get more vitamins or water.”
Me: *Long pause* “Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to help my chronic illness. I have endometriosis.”
Thankfully, she actually apologized for making assumptions and offered to ask others if they had any for me.
