My fibromyalgia was diagnosed 6 mos ago after a surgery. Before that I had migraines,back pain, and achy and tired all the time. I am still working and love my job. It is not physically demanding. Just a desk job. I have been worried lately that I won't be able to work much longer. Anyone had success w disability payments? We can not get by without my paycheck.

I was diagnosed about 13 years ago and have tried everything. I am still working but it is taking everything I have to do so. The hardest part of having Fibro is trying to make others understand your pain. I don't sleep well ... Up and down several times a night and always in pain. I also have multiple tarlov cysts running the entire length of my spine so yes, pain is a constant and I hate to think about how I will feel in another 10 years!!!!
