Normally I'd agree with this, but when you're passing two or more blood clots the size of golf balls every hour, leaving the house isn't an option.
That's specifically why I made a distinction between normal menstrual bleeding and exceptional conditions in my post, and stated that they should be handled differently. I guess you must have forgotten to quote that part of my response or simply overlooked it.
What I'm describing in the quote above, is how I personally handle my painful, yet essentially normal menstrual period.
It's clear to me that passing several golf-ball sized clots every hour on the hour would be not be considered normal menstrual bleeding and indicative of an underlying illness or condition of some sort.
