I disagree that only 1 in 73 people are affected. Many people are suffering with this illness, but haven't been officially diagnosed yet. I've known I have Fibro for several years, but only now am finally getting that diagnosis from a Rheumatologist.

I have my own theory as to why women get Fibro more than men, and it would explain what causes it. It's from toxins damaging our cells. People who have a parasympathetic dominate nervous system have weaker cell membranes, which allows for toxins to enter the cells more easily. Unlike those with a sympathetic dominate nervous system, their cell membranes are stronger and it is harder for toxins to invade their cells. More women than men have parasympathetic nervous systems. One sign of that is if you have a low metabolism and easily gain weight.

I have to take opiods daily, but I try not to take more than 1 or 2 pills a day. Anyone who feels people shouldn't take opiods, can come live in my body for a few days and then restate their opinion. Best drug of all for Fibro...Marijuana. Helps relax the muscles, reduces the pain in muscles and joints.
