FIBROMYALGIA

No known direct cause has been identified and there is no cure for fibromyalgia. However, there are some very effective treatments, including both a doctor and a physical therapist. You will need disability benefits to cover the ongoing treatment expenses.

The main symptom of fibromyalgia is chronic pain in muscles, tendons and other soft tissues, accompanied by “trigger points” that hurt when pressure is applied.

Gulf War Veterans who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia which is service-connected may be entitled to VA disability compensation. The VA denies many claims. Don’t let a prior denial discourage you from seeking the Veterans benefits you may deserve. If you were denied within the last year, call us for a free consultation.
