Social Security disability benefits obtained for fibromyalgia patient

Getting Social Security disability benefits for fibromyalgia is extremely difficult. However, the Dallas, Texas law firm of Kraft & Associates was able to do just that recently for a young woman who contracted the disease after having breast implant surgery.

[USPRwire, Thu Feb 02 2006] Obtaining Social Security disability benefits for fibromyalgia patients is quite difficult, and obtaining benefits for any claimant under the age of thirty is even more difficult.

However, one recent Social Security disability claim successfully made by the Dallas, Texas law firm Kraft & Associates involved 23 year old Kacey Long, who developed fibromyalgia after undergoing breast implant surgery. Of course a law firm wouldn't normally mention a client by name, but Kacey is on a mission to educate other women who may be considering breast implants, and does not object to the publicity.

Kacey had breast implant surgery in 2001. Almost immediately after the surgery her health began to decline, and eventually reached the point where she could barely walk. Kacey was diagnosed with several impairments, including rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Kacey had her implants removed in 2003, but is still fighting to regain her health. She is determined to warn other women of the dangers associated with breast implants, and has been on a nationwide campus speaking tour. Kacey's story has received media attention from many sources, including The Washington Post, USA Today, Good Morning America, and MTV. Visit Kacey's Web site at www.implantsout.org to learn more about her.

Kraft & Associates wishes Kacey all the best in her attempt to regain full health, and in her efforts to educate other women about the risks of breast implants. Her Social Security disability case shows that a person of any age can be found to be disabled under the right circumstances, and that it is possible for fibromyalgia sufferers to obtain Social Security disability benefits.
