Hi cherfenn and sylviam and welcome! I'm sorry this reply took me some time, but I am in the process of moving and that is occupying my time and energy. Anyway, I am 61 and was diagnosed with FMD last month, so I am pretty new at this game. I have neck pain sometimes, headaches sometimes, high blood pressure and that whooshing sound in my ears. I would encourage you to explore this site as well as info on the web in general. I always figure knowledge is power and if we can educate ourselves, then we can help others understand this mystery disease as well as advocate for ourselves in health care settings. It is frustrating to have a disease that so little is known about but I refuse to be a victim so I do what I can....exercise (walking, yoga), meditation, eating primarily a plant based whole food diet, cutting back on sugar, salt, fat and drinking plenty of water.

Thank you yes the web is wonderful.I also pull and read every research article I can find on my issue. Yes before I got bad I was doing 4 miles a day bit right now they keep pulling off exercise. I just got kicked out of cardiac rehab for the third time. But I still go out and fish and hike as much as my body will let me. I want to get back to 4 miles a day bit since I ma bad right now they are holding me back. I do nto use salt to cook nor sugar. Low fat diet for years. Bake my own breads sprouted wheat. Make almost all things from scratch to avoid the sugars, soy(Allergic to all soy including lecithin) and of course salt.
