I saw something that it is a 9 to 1 female vs female ratio

I get it sporadically, especially not being able to think of the right words. The other day I was feeling awful and needed to call my supervisors to let them know that I wouldn't be in. It took me about 10 minutes to remember who I needed to call, my mind was stuck on a number for a job I...

During my last severe flare up ( 2 days ago) I for the first time got the thigh fatigue and ache. I am a male, so I can't talk about whether or not cycles have anything to do with it. It seems that my flare ups differ some each time, the last one was the absolute worst so far. It lasted about...

I found that light running (2-3) miles at about a 10 minute pace 3-4 days a week is about all I can handle before it impacts my pain. At that level it has no impact on it at all. No more, no less pain. I feel better about myself and it helps control my weight some. I used to lift weights 5...

I was relieved to know there was a name to attach to it. Having that gave me something to tell those who asked about the pain I suffer, it is the why that is baffling to all of us. There is frustration in knowing that it is a "maybe" that I will find a way to block the pain, not get rid of...

I am a male and have just asked the same question on another forum. My understanding is that fibro is thought to be highly under diagnosed in men. If I remember right they say that men are about 2% of those diagnosed with it. Like some of the other that posted, I have anxiety, sleeplessness...

I have a niece with it. Her's is much worse than mine and she is half my age. She is pretty much house bound from what I understand. I didn't find out she had it until recently.

I have hip pain every day, some days more than others... many times it is worse when I lay or sit... standing seems to make it better for whatever reason. I get the pressure point type pain when I lay on my sides, get it in my knees a well. I take tramadol 3 - 4 times a day and it will help...

My research has borne out the fact that fibro is under diagnosed in males and for many years (decades) was viewed as a condition that was a female condition. Either I am in the wrong type of body or something is amiss because I have been diagnosed with it. I have talked to many people who have...
