Hi, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2015 so I am dealing with Chronic pain and all the other associated symptoms daily. I have been trying to raise awareness of fibromyalgia in men as it is often considered to be a predominantly female condition. Very little is said about men with this awful condition, I have contributed to a book soon to be published entitled The Many Faces of Fibro.
