Men Have Fibro Too - Social Sites for Men

Fibromyalgia is not as common is men as it is in women, so maybe ChronicBabe.com is a little daunting for men to approach (though we accept with open arms!)

But I did come across this info for men that I wanted to share. I don't have an account with these sites, so if anyone else has any expereince with them I'd love to hear the feedback!

Fibroguys.com - a social network for men with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or chronic pain. Members can create their own webpage, join groups, discuss issues in forums, read blogs, post photos, and chat. Profiles are completely hidden from the public. In order to interact on the site, users must sign up. So far, more than 250 men have become members.

Menwithfibro.com hosts news, articles, cartoons, a chat room for discussion, and inspirational stories all in one place. Resource links to sites with more scientific information are also listed on the site.

A Good Resource

If you haven't already, check out http://www.patientslikeme.com/. It's is an EXCELLENT place to track your symptoms and treatments, and then be able to print it all out to share with your doctors! (Yay fibrofog won't thwart us there!) AND there are some good fibro forums too! There is a good ongoing post detailing the Foods FIbros should avoid. Super interesting. I would link to it, but you have to login to access it.
