Meme has image of male figure squatting down on the left side of the screen. He’s wearing blue jeans, brown jacket over untucked white dress shirt only partially buttoned over a white tshirt and a necklace of some sort. Has a “stubble beard” and black hair. Appears to be wearing black footwear. (The title) “Fibro Hits Men Too!” (is in the center of the screen in purple font over grey background.) (Below the title, in white font on grey background, is the following credit:) “FB/FibroEA Fibromyalgia english/afrikaans” (On the right side of the screen is white font text on grey background reading:) “Doctors may not even consider fibromyala in a male patient, and some doctors speculate that only 10% of diagnoses are men because men are less likely to complain about pain. “In a study, men tended to have: “Lower reported pain intensity Lower tender-point count Lower depression rates Longer duration of symptoms when making the first complaint to a doctor Higher overall disability due to symptoms Also, ongoing pain in men was especially linked to pressure-triggered hyperalgesia (amplified pain) in the neck.”

“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.)
