Media Article: 'Fibromyalgia on the Job'

Here's an interesting article written by Elisabeth Deffner about working when you have Fibromyalgia. Although it gives US-based advice regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it also gives some good work tips that can be useful to you, even if you live outside the UK.

"Establish good ergonomic habits. "Have the body in the most neutral position you can," says Hagen. "Legs should be at a 90 degree angle to the floor. Arms should be at a 90 degree angle to the keyboard." She recommends using a chair without armrests, and not only because the rests are usually set at a height that contorts the body."
