A Guy’s Guide to Loving a Woman with Fibromyalgia
Doing all this, or a few of these things, can help the women in your life, no matter the relation or age, do better and feel better about themselves.
Maybe you work with or have a friend who has it. Maybe you date or are married to a woman who has it. Maybe you have a sister, niece, or mother who has it. Maybe your granddaughter or daughter has it.
I’m talking about a health condition called fibromyalgia.
It strikes women of all colors, all walks of life, and fitness levels.
I know because I write this from experience with the condition.
I was never a party girl. I was a fitness nut, a walker, and a clean eater (in retrospect, I believe I had orthorexia, or the obsession with clean eating). I’m the epitome of a Virgo! That’s why it was so surprising when my life spiraled into a dark abyss when I was 25 and has been bleak for the past five-plus years (I turn 30 in two and a half months).
It’s an all-encompassing syndrome that mainly affects women, between the ages of 20-55, but there are cases where men, the elderly, and children get it. The pathology is unclear. Some doctors say it’s caused by sleep dysfunction, other’s say it’s a stress-related issue, some say it’s a brain pain processing issue, and others say it’s a gut and mitochondrial dysfunction.
