Hello,
My name is John and I am part of the unfortunate 10% that has fibro. Mine I believe, was triggered by serious medical issues I went through in 2012. I am a financial advisor and over the years I met many clients that told me they had fibromyalgia. And like many who do not suffer from this condition, I had no idea what these people were going through. Now I do. I am glad to have the opportunity to join this support group. I am having a tough time. I know my fibro has progressed. Some say it doesn't, but I will tell you I used to get periods of some but not complete relief, but I would say that the past several months the widespread pain is constant. I have been taking 20 mg of time released methylphenidate on average 2 times a day to combat the fatigue. I also have some other issues that are brought on by fibro. Now that I have that out of the way, are there any others from the 10% group (males) on this forum? Thanks again for this opportunity to share a little about my situation.
