Working with New York Life has been a nightmare

I am a 52 year old female who was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2004. My physician at the time stated I probably would not be able to work because of all of the symptoms related to Fibromyalgia and was off of work for a little over a year. I thought I would go back into the work field to see if I could overcome these symptoms and be able to bring in a income. I worked for another 6 years with the pain; however, now it’s not only the pain, but exhaustion, weakness, fibro-fog, stress all all of the other symptoms which pertain to Fibromyalgia. I go out for a few months and then start to feel better only to end up going on another off work due to the symptoms reappearing. The STD company the county deals with is New York Life and it’s been a nightmare. I have appealed my claim 4 times and still have no income coming in. Each time I receive a denial it’s always for a different reason, as the information from the previous denial has been met. I have found Fibromyalgia to be a very difficult disease to be accepted by many physicans and insurance providers. New York Life goes on to say I can work with the Fibromyalgia, but they don’t take into account the pain, the forgetfullness, stress, exhaustion and all of the other symptoms of this disease. I struggle badly with sleepless nights and am on all kinds of medications. What’s interesting also is they feel I can take something for the pain, unfortunately, when you have kidney problems you can only take certain pain medication so it does not affect my kidneys.
