The issue is really that people with Fibromyalgia may not be able to stand or sit at a computer for very long due to fatigue and muscle spasms or pain. It likely has nothing at all to do with using the proper equipment! I can use a computer just fine, but I cannot sit at any desk or table for more than 15-30 minutes at a time, no matter how ergonomic it is. I am tired of reading "news" where people with Fibromyalgia are made to believe if they only did something better they could be cured. Advertisers use our guilt over these types of issues to sell us useless products, and it is a crying shame that vulnerable patients should be treated in this manner.
