As you can see from this short video on Fibromyalgia, the condition can affect the entire body. It not only causes physical problems, but can also cause severe emotional problems as well. Those suffering from fibromyalgia tend to experience constant pain throughout the day accompanied by persistent fatigue. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, muscle pain and spasm, constant aching, restless legs, sleep apnea, depression and headaches. And these are just a sample of some of the symptoms.
In breaking down Social Security's analysis for disability claims, each and every symptom involved with fibromyalgia is considered - even the psychological or emotional symptoms. To go even further, Social Security will also take into consideration the side effects involved with the medications that the individual might be taking. Since this condition can be a frustrating one, more often than not, doctors will prescribe pain medication to alleviate the various symptoms.
Understanding fibromyalgia is only the first step on your path to disability benefits. If you have worked all of your life and find yourself struggling with everyday life as a result of this condition, you owe it to yourself and your family to seek out the benefits you deserve.
