Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects you not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well. It can be very stressful to your emotional health and you need to take care of the emotional side of it just as you would treat the physical symptoms.
Some symptoms of fibromyalgia include:
• Muscle pain, spasms or leg cramps
• Insomnia or waking up still feeling tired
• Always feeling tired and having little energy
• Being sensitive to one or more of the following, light, sound, noise, odors, foods, cold and medicines
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Upset stomach
• A feeling of anxiety or depression
The anxiety and depression, topped with the many physical symptoms that come with this painful condition is enough to cause mental anguish and emotional stress for anyone.

Hi everybody,
Here is a video that I posted on YouTube that discusses Fibromyalgia amongst men. It talks about how a lot of men don’t come forward about their illness and wasy for them to cope.
I hope that you get some useful information from this video as well as all of the other fibromyalgia vidoes I have created.
Please feel free to give me any comments or suggestions as I’m always on the lookout to give you more quality information and improve the information that I’m giving.
Fibromyalgia Is Not Just a Female Disease.
While 9 out of 10 fibromyalgia sufferers are women, men still get the condition as well. The downside to being a man with the condition is that there is not as much support for men with chronic pain or fibromyalgia.
There is also a stereotypical belief that men are supposed to be “tougher” and not complain over pain. This can make it emotionally harder for a man who is suffering for the condition. It is thought that the actual number of men with fibromyalgia may be higher but we don’t know because they often go undiagnosed. They come forward with their pain a lot less for fear of judgment.
Change in Lifestyle
Once being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, there may be need for a big change in lifestyle. Many men are very physical people and this will increase their pain and symptoms from fibromyalgia. It can even affect their jobs if they work in a hard labor profession or even a tedious profession such as something that requires typing a lot.
The symptoms of fibromyalgia can cause a man to have to change his lifestyle.
Some fibromyalgia symptoms include:
• Muscle pain, spasms or leg cramps
• Insomnia or waking up still feeling tired
• Always feeling tired and having little energy
• Being sensitive to one or more of the following, light, sound, noise, odors, foods, cold and medicines
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Upset stomach
• A feeling of anxiety or depression
Therapy/Support Groups:
Men with fibromyalgia can benefit from psychological support for:
• Stressful life conditions
• Prolonged pre-diagnostic phase
• Depression and/or anxiety
• Abuse histories
• Adjustment issue to chronic illness
• Poor support system
If you are male and have fibromyalgia, you do not have to suffer alone. There are treatment options available to you. There are even support groups plus more to help you get both the moral support and the general information that you need.
