Fibromyalgia and Disability Benefits

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness characterized by widespread and diffuse pain, tenderness at the joints, and can include a range of symptoms. It generally strikes women over thirty, and has been recognized by the American College of Rheumatology and the Social Security Administration as a potentially disabling condition. While no one is sure what causes it, it can often be brought on by traumatic incidents like car accidents or coincide with chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. If you have been experiencing widespread pain for over three months and have been clinically diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you may be eligible for disability benefits.
