Social Security Disability and Fibromyalgia

[Comment: There are many parts of this press release which could apply to MCS as well, since both MCS and FM fall into similar categories.  There is quite a bit of good information in the article about how the disability process works.]
 
 
"Social Security disability benefits are often the ultimate safety net for persons suffering from medical impairments that make it impossible for them to work. For many people, however, struggling through the Social Security Administration's bureaucracy is frustrating, confusing and slow. For people suffering from conditions such as Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the requirements of the Social Security Act can become overwhelming. This article will explain and simplify in general terms the requirements of the Social Security disability program and describe the application and appeals process."
