I know I’ve shared this before…but I don’t think it can be shared frequently enough…I believe it needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

(Screenshot page 1/3) “Todd Stein Chronic Pain Advocat... ... “Friendly FYI/PSA: The top two spots (on the attached image) may be occipital trigger points and may indicate bilateral occipital neuralgia. If TPIs (from pain management, your neurologist or plastic surgeon) help you with pain relief in those two spots (and/or occipital nerve triggered headaches/ migraines), I suggest finding a skilled plastic surgeon who is familiar with, and trained in, (diagnosing and) performing occipital nerve decompression surgery (aka "migraine…”
(Screenshot page 2/3) “surgery"). Dr. Jeffrey Janis at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) is one of the original experts in this therapy and one of the few surgeons in the world who specialize in this practice. He's also who l travel eleven hours each way to see for proper diagnosis and subsequent surgical treatment. He is phenomenal. Here's his website (no, l am not affiliated with or compensated by him - I am just one of his patients): https://Inkd.in/gWC9Trh2 I truly wish you all the best in finding relief. —Todd Stein / —TMS.” (Actual website mentioned in above: https://drjeffreyjanis.com/migraine-resources)

(Screenshot of my/Todd M. Stein’s recent Facebook post) “I am so beyond tired of being sick. Being chronically ill is living a nightmare. My excruciating to debilitating chronic pain is absolutely terrible and has been flaring a lot lately. My family and I deserve a break. I have other/new-to-me health issues now along with the multiple chronic pain conditions and the subsequent accompanying health problems like obesity, type two diabetes, heart disease, little to no strength or stamina as far as mobility goes, I'm battling so many things that are trying to kill me yet what bothers me the most, of my health things, is the pain. It's triggered everything else and it's ruined/ruining my life. I don't know what else to say right now. I am miserable and I am tired of not only me being miserable but seeing what my health is doing to my family is so very hard. Here's hoping for a better 2026...”

Living with chronic pain at an age where everyone thinks you should be healthy and whole is such a mindfuck because of I'm not visibly in pain or showing I'm struggling then people disregard it. Invisible illnesses and the people living with them deserve respect.

Screenshot of my post on my Facebook page… “Tomorrow/Monday, I will attempt to act well enough - pretending that the nonstop chronic pain and fatigue and weakness and burnout and anxiety and depression and negative self-talk and self-doubt and stress and confusion and everything else that comes with being chronically ill and in excruciating to debilitating chronic pain - so I can get up, get cleaned up and get to my local pain management appointment so we can discuss the same things that have been discussed numerous times before and I can leave the appointment knowing nothing new and having no new concrete plans for achieving true, meaningful pain relief. I’m not being negative. I’m being real. I sure hope tomorrow’s appointment proves this wrong. I would absolutely love to be wrong about this…”
“No Expectations, No Disappointments.”
Scene of a patient and a doctor sitting across from one another at the doctor’s desk talking about pain management…

“Shout-out to disabled people who aren't "inspirational", who are unemployed or stuck with a job they don't like, who didn't do well academically and/or had to drop out of school, who aren't in a position to live and take care of themselves independently even if they would like to, who don't "just get on with things without complaining", whose lives didn't work out in the way they were hoping for, who haven't "overcome" their disability in the way that society tells us we're supposed to. You exist, you're worthwhile and you matter.” (Credit: “Bendy Bunny”)

“Chronic Pain is Like a Car With Four Flat Tires “It's hard to know how to move forward once chronic pain has entered your life. “It helps to think of a person with chronic pain as like a car with four flat tires.”

I wonder what kind of reaction I’d get, if I replied this way on medical questionnaires or to healthcare workers…
Never mind…
I know…
They’d probably drop me as a patient/refuse to see me again.

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)”
