About

Fibro Guys was launched to give men affected by fibromyalgia a place to meet, share stories, and make connections.

While it is estimated that approximately 2-4% of the general population suffers from fibromyalgia, the disease afflicts women at a much higher rate than men. Consequently, men suffering from fibromyalgia are isolated even further, compounding what can already be a devastating, debilitating disease.

What is fibromyalgia?  Fibromyalgia is a syndrome in which people experience long-term, body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues.  Fibromyalgia has also been linked to fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, depression, anxiety, and other symptoms.

Fibro Guys' mission is to enable men with fibromyalgia to connect with one another on a human level. While there are many great resources for fibromyalgia on the Internet, most focus on the disease itself, rather than the people who it affects. At Fibro Guys, members are encouraged to upload pictures, start personal blogs, and create personalized profiles. In addition, members are able to start groups, write on other members' profiles, start forum discussions, chat, and send each other private messages.

Everyone is welcome to join Fibro Guys! This includes women, family and friends of people with fibromyalgia, and anyone looking to learn more about the disease.

For many, fibromyalgia can be an isolating and dehumanizing experience. It doesn't have to be!
