FAC’s Tenth R of Christmas

RECRUIT

Living with #fibromyalgia is isolating.

RECRUIT is about intentionally building support, because we shouldn’t manage this alone. You deserve support so let it in. It could be as simple as joining FAC committees or peer support.

FAC’s Eighth R of Christmas

RESOURCEFUL

Living with fibromyalgia often means finding creative ways to adapt.

Being RESOURCEFUL helps us protect our energy, reduce stress & make holiday tasks more manageable

Small adjustments can make a big difference

FAC’s Seventh R of Christmas: RELAX 🎄

For people living with fibromyalgia, RELAXation is a science-backed strategy.

RELAXation activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps turn the volume down on pain signals.

Finding ways to RELAX isn’t a luxury, it’s smart symptom management.

International Men’s Day

Men get fibromyalgia too & many stay silent because they’re told pain makes them “weak"

It doesn’t

Speaking up, seeking support, refusing stigma & being a role model takes real strength

Living with fibromyalgia means living with pain on a daily basis.

When pain is unmanaged or misunderstood, some people may turn to substances just to cope

Addiction isn’t a choice or a failure, it’s a response to pain & lack of proper support

“A lot of people worked for a long time to achieve that measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action … for a disease that’s totally preventable, it just makes me sad."

Kindness costs nothing but can mean everything.

For those living with #fibromyalgia, a kind word or small gesture can make a big difference.

Let’s choose kindness both for ourselves and others.
