Fibromyalgia sufferers have pain and tenderness affecting all parts of their bodies, from joints to muscles and soft tissue. There is no known cause and only limited treatments are currently available. Fibromyalgia can be difficult to diagnose as it frequently appears alongside other disorders like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Hypothyroidism. Many symptoms are also common to other diseases, including fatigue, headaches and depression.

Those diagnosed with Fibromyalgia must deal not only with the pain of the disease but these related symptoms, which, when severe, can be disabling. The symptoms of this disease can vary from patient to patient. As with all SSD applications, the burden of proof is on the disabled. The more documentation you provide to the SSA the more likely your application will be approved.If you suffer from Fibromyalgia and your doctor has indicated you may expect to be disabled for more than 12 months, you may be eligible for Social Security disability payments.
