I Was Wondering If There Are Any Commonalities Between All Us Fibro Suffers.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

What I am wanting to find out is if fibro is found in more women of a certain race, age, socioeconomic background, location. I know men also suffer from fibro, but there are definitely more women. Is there anything that is common for all of us or not?

My mom's family has a history of bad nerves, as we call it, the Arnold nerves. We have a family history of nerve problems, anxiety, depression, stress. I wonder if it is something in our DNA. It would be interesting to do a study of it.

Yes, I know.Since I have been on this site I see a lot of young women. I would like to know what their stories are to see if they had some major traumatic event or anxiety or stress, depression.

Fibro is not picky, it will attack anyone. We all have the massive pain and fatigue. Other than those two issues, it varies from person to person. I have Restless Leg Syndrome, which is common in people with fibro, but not everyone gets it. Fibro fog is extremely common but again there are a few people who don't get it. The only thing I have come to realize is that Fibro makes you more susceptible to other ailments, like what I already mentioned and more. One thing that is quite common for people who have Fibro is their body can not break down and absorb nutrients from what we eat properly. This leads to a whole new set of problems. I take a digestive enzyme which allows my body to process the food I eat properly, which has in turn lessened the impact of Fibro and other ailments. I take a lot of supplements and only five Rx's. Finding a knowledgeable homeopathic doctor was key to relieving a lot of problems and easing the pain and fatigue. Good luck and a gentle hug. Hope this helps.

I think you misunderstood Joyce. I was saying its not just older women. Since I've been on this site I've met a lot of women who were in their 20's and 30's. There's a girl I met the other day that was 18.
