Fibromyalgia humor about fatigue

 fatigue jokes
I hope you enjoy these jokes about fibromyalgia and fatigue. The benefit of humor has been proven over and over.

A review of literature indicates that humor could be related to pain tolerance through three possible mechanisms: cognitive emotional processes, changes in the neuroendocrine and immunological systems, and muscle relaxation. HUMOR AND PAIN TOLERANCE. OFRA NEVO / GIORA KEINAN / MINA TESHIMOVSKY-ARDITI
I love finding amusing quips that relate to having fibromyalgia and sometimes I even create them.

This week I am sharing these, what I call "funny fibro's", around the topic of fatigue.  This is a topic that many people with fibromyalgia, or indeed any chronic pain condition can relate to.

I hope you get a smile when you read them. Maybe you won't be slapping your thighs with laughter but hopefully you will relate...
