Just throwing it out there based on your statements of symptoms. The folks here in the fibro forum would know more than I (my wife has it). They don't often check men for fibro—only ~1:9 cases are males. I do know that exercise/exertion/stress can cause flares—with a 24-72 hr. lag time—and 'fog' isn't a given.
