Description

Episode 15 - Men & Fibromyalgia. It is real. Underdiagnosed and undertreated.Please Rate , Review, & Follow this podcast.Although fibromyalgia affects more women, about 10% of fibromyalgia patients are men. I think it is underreported and underdiagnosed. This episode covers how fibromyalgia symptoms differ in men and women. Then we will discuss the impact of Fibro on men's lives, relationships, and interactions with their healthcare providers. Often, feelings of shame, embarrassment, and unworthiness drive the lack of seeking help and treatment. This is so far from the truth. Men are worthy of feeling better, and many treatment options can help. I take a very few selected clients for 1:1 coaching. Email me rheumcoach@gmail.com if interested.
