Do u know anything about filing for disability benefits? It is becoming impossible for me to work due to my fibromyalgia symptoms. I am considering filing for disability but It is very confusing. I think I am reading that
you can't be working while waiting to be approved? Do you know if that is correct? I just don't know how to survive without a check for awhile. seems like a no win situation

I am quite sure that you can be working when you file for a disability. Good luck with everything. I was a state employee for 34 years & retired @ 55 because I was no longer able to work because of the pain & our present guv's take-aways. Let me know how your disability works out .

hi luvmychihuahuas, I am in bed this am after getting dressed to go meet friends for some volunteer work and having to go home discouraged and get into a hot shower nearly burning my backside because I can't get relief today. I am new to this stie but have become friends with one other person. I hear what you are saying. my story is similar to yours with diagnosis going on for a long time before they could reach a diagnosis...They too checked me for MS Lupus and Rheumatoid Arth, I finally got sent to two pain clinics and they began giving me different pain meds that didn't do much but take edge off...They bumped me up to Patch w norco for break thru pain. It was a diff. adjustment to stablize but when injections didn't offer much relief to the S.I.Joints they diagnosed Pelvic Pain & sent me to a female specialist for this is done from the inside out. ...this has flared everything again, and Im not so sure i can hang with this.I hear your pain and I empathize completely with what you are going thru. I find that one of the most frustrating things is having to get up and down from different positions and keep moving/resting. it is impossible to be in one place for too long and get anything done. Isolation is the other prob and then lack of friends getting it.
I was telling a friend this morning why i had to go home and he was sympathetic then a min later was asking if i was going to be there this evening. they just don't get it.
Please write to me I will take everything you say seriously and w compassion.
