Hi Rinna,
I do know that fibromyalgia is found in quite a few higher numbers in women than in men, although some men do have it as well.
There seems to be a lot of stress for many people in these hard times, and that can make a lot of illnesses and syndromes worse.

Hi again Rinna,
Yes, unfortunately there are not a lot of doctors who practice alternative medicine. They tend to prescribe medications for most complaints. They do not usually refer people to chiropractioners, massage therapists, etc.
I have never had doctors ask me how much I exercise, do I take dietary supplements, do I go to a chiropractor or massage therapist, etc.
We have to be proactive and seek alternative therapies on our own.
