The Disability Paradox, and How a Fibromyalgia Specialist Can Help Patients Preserve Gainful Employment: "I usually state that Fibromyalgia is a condition that may unpredictably flare up from time to time, resulting in impairment of work ability, and may require a time off work on a temporary basis.

Examples of work restrictions specific to a patient with FM include:
Not working more than eight hours a day five days a week. Specifically, no overtime or weekends.
Working part-time hours, working day hours only, or working flexible hours.

No direct air-conditioning drafts.
No repetitive reaching or overhead use of the arms.
No repetitive bending or leaning forward.
No sitting, standing, or walking for a long period to time without altering positions."
