@A MyFibroTeam Member that is not true that EVERYBODY gets turned down on the first try. I know people that have applied without a lawyer and was approved the first time.

I filed in June 2012 and was awarded disability on my first try ... main reason thought was osteoarthritis. Fibro was the secondary disability.
