Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 How right you are. I believe that alot of men are just trying to " take it like a man " . But this illness will get to anyone after a while. I don't care how strong you are physically or emotionally. It sucks. I wish men would not try to carry the world on their shoulders. hugs, Debra V. Subject: Re: A New Man! To: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group Date: Saturday, April 19, 2008, 11:21 AM <---Is one of the men in the group, numbers wise Fibromyalgia does have a higher number of women but like other syndromes does not discriminate regarding gender, age, or ethnic origin. Men tend to make up about 5-10% of Fibromyalgia suffers. Real numbers are inaccurate since men are taught to, " Take it like a man " and end up not seeking medical attention. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
