Screenshot of a facebook group, “Fibromyalgia Association” sharing a meme. Their post above the meme reads: “This Memorial Day weekend, we honor the military service members who gave their lives to protect our nation and uphold our freedom. We also extend our gratitude to the veterans who continue to carry the burdens of service, including those living with life-altering fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Your sacrifices are seen, remembered, and appreciated. #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #memorialday” The meme shared has a purple background with “FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS MONTH” on top in white text. An American flag banner follows with the following text next: “Nearly 40% of U.S. service members seeking PTSD treatment also suffer from Fibromyalgia. VA research shows Gulf War vets face a higher risk. Fibro is one more invisible wound many veterans carry.” Credit for the meme, per the meme, goes to: “ManageFibro.org”

(Post from Facebook page “Fibromyalgia Diary”) “I don't think you're that sick! Yesterday you did a lot, and today you say you can't. I'm sorry, but a person who feels as bad as you wouldn't say it. Fibromyalgia silently hits us, tortures us and no one sees their hands tearing our bodies apart. So this disease is lonely. How do I explain that pain is informal and prevents what we did yesterday from being able to do today or tomorrow? I don't know. Sometimes the skin hurts, sometimes the bones and joints hurt, other times the soul hurts. We fix ourselves, because medicines are palliative and fail to completely eliminate the intense pain. Don't judge if you don't know what it's like to live with Fibromyalgia, educate yourself, and respect our words ‘I can't.’…Nobody likes to stay at home without enjoying the nice weather. Detail in the first comment. (which is the next attached pic)”

“One of the most difficult parts about living with chronic illness is how motivated I am and have lots of plans but I am trapped in a body that is constantly fatigued, in pain and in need of rest. Some days I can only do the bare minimum but experience maximum guilt.” (Source: post on) “Fibro Colors Fibromyalgia Awareness” (group on Facebook.)

Many people living with pelvic pain have a mix of both bloating & distension.

A co-ordinated treatment plan might include:
Specialised Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Nervous System Regulation
Dietary Exploration
Stress Management & Mind-Body Practices
