Employment found to benefit female fibromyalgia sufferers

16 Dec 2008

Female fibromyalgia sufferers see improvements in their health when in employment, a new study has suggested.

According to the survey, put together by a team of researchers at the University of Connecticut's School of Dental Medicine, Farmington, USA, having a job helps women with the condition maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The study looked at female subjects aged 47 at the start of the study and noted that over the course of five years, they experienced less pain as well as improvements in fatigue and a lower risk of depression.

Dr Susan Reisine, one of the specialists behind the research, said the findings could be useful to female fibromyalgia sufferers.

"This finding suggests that women with fibromyalgia can remain employed with no negative consequences to their condition," she added.

The condition is more common in females and can affect the body in terms of fatigue, insomnia, stiffness and general pain.
