I'm fighting for benefits because fibro has disabled me and I have several other serious medical conditions along with it. I feel for you.

How long do we have to fight for benefits we are entitled to? I started this ordeal in March of 03. Is in federaal court now. Good luck to you.

I think I have it to, my body aches all over, my knee, gets sharp pains going through my legs legs ache. I have to go to Doctor. I was reading some where that you should take iron pills that help relieve the pain. Doctor don't know what it is. people with depression has it.

Fibromyalgia is a very complicated illness. I, too, have it and suffer tremendously from it. I wake up each day hoping that I can continue to fight it and stay strong. Sometimes, though, I can see myself giving into the pain and other effects that it has on me. It is an extremely difficult illness. I have found it especially hard because I have a six year old son that I home school and a four year son as well. It can be difficult to try to keep up with the boys and everything else that I have to do, but I give it my best shot. I am very sorry that you have had to retire due to the illness. I know that this must be a very difficult and challenging time for you. I hope that you are making it through ok and that you feel better real soon.

i quit working 4 yrs ago because of fibro & am trying for SS disability. What a fight! We have to keep going but is so depressing.Wouldn't it be great to be pain-free, at least for a few days?
