I am a 31 year old and have been diagnosed with CFS,Fibromyalgia, and I am Bi-Polar. I just did the interview for disability because I am unable to work due to the CFS and Fibromyalgia. I am also having trouble with my Bi-Polar. I am wondering is there anyone with the same problems, or similar?? Has anyone gotten SSID? I am stressing so much now and hoping things will work out. Of course the stress and worry are making things only worse. Especially, the cold weather. My Mother is in her 50's and has about the same thing, and she has gotten her SSID, but there is a big differance in age. She doesn't help me with this, she is like talking to a wall when I try to ask her questions...and she was a nurse. Go figure. I guess it would be nice to talk to someone that is going through what I am or close to it. Please let me know if anyone can help me. Thank You!

For those applying for permanent Disability or SSDI, it is wise to get an attorney, my sister was denied once, got an attorney and received an approval the next go around.
From what I hear CFS & FMS are noticed viable illnesses.
Ive had an Attorney with me on the last 2 deniels and will be with untill the end. I just think it has alot to due with my age (now 40) and a now 3 yr old I have to run after. I guess they think if I can be a mother of a toddler I should be able to at least flip burgers.

Yes, an attorney is imperative and one who specializes in CFIDS even better! They do exist.
CFS along with Fibromyalgia
