I struggled a lot with the pain from an extremely minor laparoscopy. They expected me to be back to work within a few days, I was out for a month. I'm sending you love and I hope you can find something that helps, or that it lessens soon.

my symptoms have been getting so much worse over the last few months. lately, every other day or so I wake up in enough pain to cry. being in the same position for five or more minutes has become torturous, i have to move and shift constantly, and often i won't even feel how bad it's gotten...

when one of my friends got approved for social security disability, she got quite a few years worth of back pay, I think for how long she'd been trying to get it. (it caused a bit of a dilemma for her, considering the savings limitations...) I wish you luck

I'm trying so hard to get evidence... And I haven't been able to hold any 'real' job since i was 14. But the org that actually handles disability in my state approved funding a job agent for me, and we eventually managed to find a 8-hour-a-week, very light work job. I've been working it for...

@thparker13 I think there's far fewer scammers than anyone thinks, especially considering how hard it is to get disability and how restrictive and barely helpful it actually is. It'd be the longest, hardest, least paying out grift. I think our government just heavily devalues the lives of...

has anyone here managed to get on disability for fibro? or while you're still young? I'm in my mid 20s. I've probably had fibro since I was young, progressing more and more until dx'ed at 19. I've had people straight up tell me I can't have it because I'm too young, I've had so many doctors call...

I've been using it to manage my pain and fatigue for a few years. First off, the most convenient and healthy way to take it, in my opinion, is with a dry herb vaporizer. It lets you "smoke" it without combusting it, so no actual smoke; you get multiple sessions from the same small amount; and...

that's true... it's one of the rare fibro pains that's actually asking me to do something achievable and helpful, haha. i'm always having to fight this thought process in me. it's just one of those things that floats around in societal consciousness until it sticks into your own. even just...

Jay, sunkacola, very helpful, thank you... it feels like such a minor and uninteresting thing to have to do, but ah well. Jay - i'm so glad (and sorry) to hear someone else gets that! i get about as pained after sitting in one place for an hour as I do after working for an hour. I can't even...

sunkacola is right, though I understand feeling overwhelmed and dismayed. it's a hard and scary thing to deal with. but you're still you. your needs might be a little different, but you can still work towards your dreams. i think being a naturalist isn't necessarily incompatible with having...
