No offence ladies. Hugs to all of you. But, I can't be the only male sufferer. My mom always taught me to be open and never be afraid to talk about my problems. (and of course put the seat down)
My dad on the other hand never said much about anything. Why are we (men) so closed mouth about our troubles?
I know you ladies all have your own opinons about that question.

There are a few males but they don't get on a whole lot. Just be patient about it and they will show up. One for sure is "Antari2012". Think that's it. Do a search, he's usually on once a week or so.

Unfortunatly i think its seen as a sign of weakness for many men to talk about it so they tend to keep quiet. I know its something more women get but i wonder how many men out there are going about undiagnosed because they are made to feel they shouldnt be talking about it or just do that common male thing and dont go to the doctors lol

It would be nice to see more males post on here, sometimes its better to get both perspectives to something :)

Just wondering if you wouldn't mind describing your symptoms and how long you've been diagnosed. Everyone is different and I'm just curious.

There are several guys here including one new one. Welcome.

My father had fibro. He wasn't diagnosed until his later years when he had to see a rheumatologist for his arthritis. I've always felt that I was genetically pre-disposed to have it because I have most of his health problems.

yeah there are a few male peeps with fibro, they must be shy cos we don't see them on very often.
If you post often it will entice the others out of hiding lol

Yo, I am here. I don't talk about stuff. Guys just don't. Talking about it ain't gonna change it unless I need to ask you a question or give you an answer. So talk about things that you can change and leave the ladies to talk about the rest.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
