Reply to comment by totalimmoral in When a person gets stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis) or food poisoning, what exactly is happening in the body that causes stomach cramps? by geekonthemoon

Definitely an example of messy pain signaling. Pain can also generally increase sensitivity to pain or negative affect so being in consistent pain on your period might just make other pain more salient to you. There are some other reasons why visceral pain is poorly localized but it’s hard to get into in a comment
