Just
about anyone of any age can develop fibromyalgia, but most research so far
indicates that the majority of people with FMS (fibromyalgia
syndrome) are of the
female persuasion, partly because women are more sensitive to pain than men.
This is a time where a little equal opportunity of pain would be preferable (if
you’re a woman). But who gets fibromyalgia isn’t about fairness.
Although
women are the primary sufferers of fibromyalgia, many men have been diagnosed
with FMS, too, and some men with fibromyalgia go undiagnosed for years. For
more information about some of the major patterns that have been identified so
far among people who develop fibromyalgia, which you may share with these
fellow sufferers.
What
about children and adolescents? Do they have fibromyalgia? Sadly, yes. If your
child or teenager has FMS, he may have a difficult time because most physicians,
as well as the general public, still don’t realize that kids can experience chronic
pain from FMS. Instead, they think kids are faking it when they say that
they’re too sick to go to school. Maybe they are, but then again, maybe they’re
not.
