    I know it's not your idea, Richard, but this title bothers me every time I see it!

    And another thing… we don't have a period; we have periods, hundreds of them for up to 40 years of our lives 🙄

    Interesting research. Periods are already tough for able-bodied people. Adding a wheelchair must bring a whole new set of challenges. Exercise on top of that? This study could highlight real gaps in support. Good to see this being looked into
