William Harris, you are not alone. One of my closest friends, she and her husband suffer GREATLY from Fibromyalgia. He is consistently dismissed by doctors of all specialties for treatment…merely because he is male. She gets treatment. This is a married couple. I don’t know how he keeps his hands off their necks, to be honest. Glad you spoke up. Men with FM deserve respect and treatment.

I am a male person and have been having Fibromyalgia like pain since the mid 1960s. I have wide spread tender point (pressure point) pain from my head to my feet. For me, I have more than the 11 or so tender points required for Fibromyalgia. It affects both sides of my body. I have more sleep problems now than ever. 20 mg. of melatonin per night does not help much. Serotonin deficiency: Anxious, impatient, sleep problems, chronic pain, crave sweets. A vegan raw food diet does help and also warm sunshine weather does if you get pleanty of sunshine. I always feel better in the warm months.
Please reply.
