Fibro for a man might and might not be as severe as for a woman,but I have been living with Fibro for over 10 years and believe me I have felt severe fatigue and pain off and on during this time,I feel at least for me reprogramming my mind as well as my lifestyle made my symptoms much easier to manage and cope with.Its natural for men to shrug off the symptoms and attempt to push on since this works for many problems men experience during their lives.Dealing with Fibro the old fashion male way only increases our symptoms so the best thing for a man to do is slow down and take breaks throughout the day instead of pushing forward as we did before we met Fibro.For most men I feel it takes a very long time to realize what he is doing is only causing him more severe symptoms and eventually a flare up which will set him backwards.Its not easy for many men including myself to live a more sedentary life after being physical active all my life,but until a man learns to listen to his body he is not going to feel very well at all.The secret for me living not existing with Fibro was to learn to listen to my body,working with your body and mind instead of against it allows a man to live much better with Fibro.
