    Disability

    Has anyone used any of the disability ads on this forum to help assist you filing? Has anyone gotten SSDI for fibro only?

    Did you receive disability without much struggle

    This is for those who are on disability. I am wondering if there was anyone who was actually approved on the first time? I know it is not likely to happen. I just wondered if anyone had a positive experience from the start.

    Feeling EXTREMELY down...

    Hi Everyone, First off, I live with FMS, I don't SUFFER from it... I am generally not a complainer, I generally just stuff my feelings of inadequacies, guilt, pain, etc... Why do I stuff them? Well, my family isn't very supportive, and I find it easier to stuff them then to talk about how I...

    28 y/o Fe with Fibro and Sjogrens

    Hello everyone! It's been about a year now since my diagnoses. I am very thankful that I no longer feel that I'm on death's doorstep. I came from being in very bad shape, very depressed, frustrated, and just about worthless. I was unable to work and living off of savings while I frantically...

    Out of "Remission"...

    So, I'm new here, but I'm not new to Fibro. I was diagnosed in October of 2007 while living in NYC. It was brutal. Just so much pain and no answers on how to fix it. The fibro makes me so sensitive to medications I couldn't take anything but AdvilPM and Tramadol - and even that was hit or miss...
