A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity and pleasure of speaking with a group of folks at the Fibromyalgia ME/CFS Support Center. The most important thing I stressed is that you must have a diagnosis (and regular visits) with what is known as an “acceptable medical source”. In Social Security language, that refers to a person who has certain medical degrees, including an M.D. or a D.O. degree. So if you are treated only by a naturopath, you will have tremendous difficulty winning your case.
