Fibromyalgia And Disability
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone felt bad for being so young and yet attempting to apply for disability? I feel horrible as it is, but for ssi to say yes we see you have limitations and deny me makes it worse.

Don't feel ashamed for a disease/syndrome you didn't cause yourself. The people who should feel ashamed is our government for denying people who need it d/t a real disability et not the people who f----- cheat the system all over the world!! I don't feel an alcoholic/druggie should get it...for what to go et get f---- up every 1st of the month or whatever day they receive their ck et then it's gone within a couple days. Bullshit!!! Fine SS wants to help them too there are programs for them they are curable et then they should be given 1 chance go through tx plus drug testing b4 they receive their ck each month. After their tx is done then they are on their own. Go flip a f---- burger you wanna drink/do drugs til you're out of your mind. But to turn people down that have physical ailments is absolutely wrong. And yes, I know there are a few states out there that do not to this so plz do not respond to me telling me how wrong I am cuz there a lot of states that do!! Rant over...don't feel ashamed. Hope you eventually get it, god bless et many hugs to you.

I have been feeling bad too about considering it. I am only 36.I work full time and because of my fibro have been getting write ups and fell it's just a matter of time before they fire me. Maybe that's what I need to do. I don't think epithet of us should feel bad. Fibro is such a horrible disease. And debilitating. We gotta do what we gotta do.
