AbstractPatients with fibromyalgia have an altered quality of life that is hard to quantitate using existing indices. The principal legal issues associated with the syndrome are: Does fibromyalgia exist? Can it be caused by or flared by stress or trauma? Does disability apply to fibromyalgia and if so, how? These issues are critically reviewed.
