Flaws and all. Self love is hard to practice when your body knows only pain. But remember how strong your body is, how far it has taken you despite the odds being against it. You are a force to be reckoned with. #selflove #pelvicpain #femalesexualhealth #ChronicPain #empowerwomen

Food may be the last thing on your mind when you are in pain. But a varied diet will give your body the sustenance it needs to get you through your flareups. If you aren’t eating anything, try to tempt yourself with anything you fancy. Something is always better than nothing!

Fool your nervous system into calming down. Breathe in (nose) for 7 seconds, Hold for 7, Breathe out (mouth) for 7 - relax your lips as you breathe out. Do this a few times, making the exhale a little longer each time.

Have you ever had someone tell you maybe your pain would go away if you just stopped thinking about it? Have you ever had a doctor tell you it's all in your head? Well we're here to remind you it's not. It's real and it's painful and you're doing the absolute best you can. 💙

Are they doing what they are supposed to be doing? It's healthy to check in every now and then and make sure your medication is still benefitting you. If it's not, head back to your GP and reassess the situation #medication #painkillers #seeyourgp #pelvicpain #femalesexualhealth
