The diagnosis of fibromyalgia should come with a cost of living warning label! Seriously! This chronic illness has cost more than financial loss.
No Mention of The Cost of Living with Fibromyalgia
The first thing I did when I returned home after receiving my diagnosis of fibromyalgia was to go online to try and learn as much as possible about this funny-sounding disease.
To my disappointment, there wasn’t much information to be found in 2003.
Everything I found described the symptoms just fine, but nothing provided hope for relief. Nor did anything mention how expensive living with this illness would be.
