Since a young age all Jaime KingIt was the pain. 

CelebHomes News recently revealed that she was taught by her mother, “If you are a woman, and you have a period, it is painful, it sucks, and you deal with it.” You’re just accustomed to the pain, such as cramps, headaches or throwing up. 

Conversations about difficult periods are a good way to start a dialogue. Any periods, largely “stigmatized,” she continued, “I just assumed that’s how s–tty it was—that three weeks out of every month, I’m going to be really sick not know what’s going on with me and have a hard time sitting, standing, walking, moving, just functioning throughout my life.” 

Being unable to walk three-quarters of the month not being super conducive to the thriving modeling career she’d launched at age 14—posing for the likes of Vogue, Allure and Seventeen while strutting down Chanel and Christian Dior runways—the Nebraska native began seeking out answers. But after years of playing physician bingo, it wasn’t until she consulted with obstetrician-gynecologist Randy Harris, “my Neunten“Doctor,” she said, noting that she received her diagnosis.
