Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Disability Claims in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Fibromyalgia is a complicated condition. There is still a lot of controversy about whether it is a psychological, genetic, neurobiological, or environmental disorder. It can often take a long time to diagnose, and be confused with many other disorders such as depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, or multiple sclerosis. Insurance companies can often see fibromyalgia as a "catch-all" diagnosis that lacks credibility. Some of the symptoms include:
- Extreme fatigue
- Pain to the touch
- Non-restorative sleep
- Lack of sleep
- Lack of concentration
- Widespread pain
- Joint stiffness
Fibromyalgia Disability Benefits Lawyer
As well as making it difficult to do housework or care for your family, fibromyalgia can make it very difficult, if not impossible, to work. Pain, lack of concentration and memory problems can make it very challenging to perform well at any job. You may also need to pay for treatment or for people to help take care of you or your family.
We can help explain your symptoms to your insurance company or to other legal professionals. We can also help to explain that the diagnosis itself doesn't matter: what matters are your symptoms and limitations, and how they prevent you from living a normal life.
Whether your symptoms and limitations make it difficult or impossible for you to work and live your life as you did before, our Calgary fibromyalgia disability lawyer can help you to get the compensation you deserve under Alberta and Saskatchewan law.
