Janelle,
I'm not going to be much help about the years/earned question cause I'm not sure how they figure the amount. I've worked for many years and earned a goodly sum over those years, so I never had to question whether or not I'd qualify. The thing you need to do is to call the SS office and ask for a statement. They usually send you a form to sign and then in about 2 weeks you get a list that details how much you'd qualify for.

As for my physical symptoms, when I'm having a fibro flareup I'm totally debilitated. Mainly my muscles ache and I'm very fatigued and feel toxic. It's just like the feeling of having a bad case of the flu with the deep aches and wiped out feeling. It feels like whatever it is affects my brain too, so I get confused and depressed and anxious. Sometimes I'll get stomach problems like cramping or diarreah or won't be able to go at all. Everything feels inflamed and toxic. It's pretty horrible, but it's definitely getting better now that I'm not exposed to the constant stress of my job any more. I also have just garden variety depression without the fibro and what you described as your symptoms sound exactly like mine. - Barbara
