Are there any male sufferers of FM who currently post on this board?

Sponsor tkgoodspirit 06-24-2004, 05:36 PM Hi. I've seen quite a few posts with "male" user names. It's not as common for a man to have FM but they ARE out there, and I really feel bad for them, especially if they are what you want to call the "bread winners" in the family. More and more men are being diagnosed with FM which seemed to be, for a long time, a "womens" conditon. My husband came home from his job offshore and told me that one of the captains he works with just got diagnosed with FM. Give your question a few days and I'm sure you'll get a lot of replies from the "guys". tk butterflytrans 06-24-2004, 05:51 PM Hi. I've seen quite a few posts with "male" user names.

I have always had the impression that most of the people that suffer from it are middle-aged females, but I'm finding that that's not necessarily the case.

With your fibromyalgia, what is your predominantly painful area? PapaRoux 06-27-2004, 04:32 PM Hi--- My main areas for pain are neck/shoulder/back/legs/knees/feet. The doctor said the knees and feet are arthritis, but it all feels like one gigantic hurt. So--for FM it would be the first four areas I mentioned. How about you? Ed |
