Why wear a ribbon?

"My mother is dealing with chronic pain and has fibromyalgia" (worrieddaughter09)

MDJunction to me

"As someone with Bipolar II, it is not easy finding people who understand. Here at MD Junction, EVERYONE understands. What an incredible feeling it is knowing that I don't have to deal with this disorder alone. MD Junction is the best resource I have found on the internet as support for just about any mental or physical condition." (Colleenj)

Just wondering how many men we have here within the Fibro group. If you would- let us know you're here. How long have you been with us?! Do you enjoy the group? We're always happy to have men within the group, and we need more of them. So, tell your male friends!

I am a male who suffers from fibromyalgia. My fibromyalgia is post-traumatic. After a severe car accident in which I suffered bilateral lower extremity fracturs, partial hearing loss and brain/spinal cord injury, I spent 3 days in a coma and have suffered from significant pain every day of my life since then, nearly 24 years. I have tried NSAIDS, steroids and a variety of other medications. Fibromyalgia affects my ability to function every day. I have occasional fibromyalgia flare-ups and I frequently experience "fibrofog". I joined this online support group yesterday. I'd like to hear from other males with fibromyalgia.

I agree with you. I would like to have more men on the site to see how Fibromyalgia effect them especially because normally the man is the breadwinner. It would really be interesting to see how the meds work for a man.

Come out Come out where ever you are
