I agree genetics has a part weather we get Fibro or not,my mother has Fibro and myself but I have three younger brothers who at this time have not had any Fibro symptoms? I find it interesting how some people in the same family might and might not get Fibro even when one of their parents has it.

As for me Fibro I truly feel was brought on from living with severe STRESS way too many years in a bad relationship,I have read Emotional Stress can trigger Fibro as well as Phyiscal Stress in either men or ladies.

Jeffrey,

It sounds like you have good insight into fibromyalgia syndrome. You have developed some coping skills and understanding of what you can and cannot do. Thanks for sharing your personal experience.
