Hi @toomuchpain
Thank you for sharing. I think this is a great topic to discussion.
Do you find it difficult to get a job when you disclose your illness? Do you want your colleagues to treat you differently or the same as everyone else? What can your employer do to make you feel more welcomed at work?
I will tag a few other members who may be able to share their opinions.

Hello all,
Obviously daily life is a chore, but how are my fellow fibromyalgia sufferers finding their employment or lack thereof. I hadn't worked for the last 2 years because of my condition but when I tried to get back in to the job market, I was alarmed to see the reception, especially once I told them about my condition. It is like they don't even acknowledge it! Please does anyone else relate and find it hard?
Thanks
