Can You Get Disability for Fibromyalgia?

I had a hearing April 26th, I have an attorney helping me get my disability.

I am in Florida and have been denied once by SSI and once by a lawyer so I'm afraid to try again. But someone my husband knows said I shouldn't have any trouble if I file again. Of course I am worse now and have a few more issues and the long COVID, so we'll see. I know it depends on state, what you have, severity, age, support, length of time, how much you've worked in the last 5-10 years..... it should not be like this.

I havent been able to get it . ive tried 3 times

I'm sorry for your loss! You are worse off than me with the OA! If you need to talk I'm here! May I ask your age?

I started the process again last week with a lawyer. Got denied in 2019 then the world went to you know what....the lawyer said it will NOT be easy. I have OA as well and need multiple joint replacement surgeries. Had first total knee replacement surgery in January next is scheduled for July and then hip and then shoulder. In the last year I lost my husband and my daughter as well

You can but it won’t be easy. I don’t have it yet but I’m planning on getting some kind of disability.. I plan to use a lawyer because just off of research it’s best to get a lawyer when you have fibromyalgia and are trying to get disability. I’m sure you have to have paper trails of your doctors visit etc and maybe have more than just fibromyalgia. I think your doctor will have to report all your symptoms too such as brain fog, arthritis like pain and pretty much everything that goes along with fibromyalgia.. anxiety & depression etc..
