Widespread chronic pain syndrome with debilitating fatigue and cognitive symptoms affecting daily function.
Book Evaluation Do I Qualify?Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. While often invisible, its functional impact can be severe enough to qualify for IHSS.
