Fibro Friday week 381

WELCOME BACK to Fibro Friday! I hope you have a great week and that you are ready to share... share your link to your fibromyalgia info and share some of the other links here from your fellow bloggers.  

In our last link up we had some amazing posts but you may have given up on them due to a technical glitch. Well that is all fixed now so go here and check out some of the great articles including Frozen Fascia of Fibromyalgia, fighting that fatigue and My first Face to Face Visit Since Covid to name just a few.

And now for this week's Fibro link up.

Funny Fibro

 Well fibromyalgia is not funny at all, I can hear you say after reading the title. 

No it's not. Living with any chronic pain condition is not funny but that is precisely why I love to share jokes about fibro because we all need a smile and a laugh every single day.

A recent systematic review analyzed 13 studies over the past 10 years where humor had been used to communicate serious messages covering topics such as mental health, breast and testicular cancer self-examination, safe sex, skin cancer and binge drinking.

"What we found is that humor can act as an effective vehicle for delivering messages people might find fear-inducing or threatening. Humor, if used well, can be an emotional buffer that breaks down some of that fear so the underlying messages reach the intended audience and influence their behaviors and attitudes."  MedicalXpress

I have been sharing fibro humor on twitter and facebook for many years now and luckily many others who live with fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions love to share their humor too. 

So here are some of their humorous contributions. I hope they make you smile.
