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.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

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
