CIRS Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
Helping clients prove how CIRS impacts daily life and work
Understanding CIRS
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a complex condition caused by exposure to mold, toxins, bacteria, or environmental contaminants.
It can affect multiple systems in the body, including the brain, nervous system, and immune system. People with CIRS commonly experience chronic fatigue, pain, headaches, brain fog, and weakness, which severely limit concentration and endurance.
At Eric Buchanan and Associates, we understand that CIRS is often misunderstood and difficult to diagnose. Many people struggle for years before getting answers, which insurance companies use against them during disability claims.
Common Symptoms of CIRS
- Chronic fatigue or weakness
- Sleep disturbances
- Muscle and joint pain
- Brain fog and memory problems
These symptoms affect both physical and cognitive abilities and make full time work difficult to sustain.
How Insurance Companies Deny CIRS Disability Claims
- Medical Records: Insurers argue diagnosis is unclear or unproven
- Lack of Testing: Claims denied due to limited objective evidence
- Doctor’s Opinions: Symptoms labeled as anxiety or stress
- Vocational Analysis: Claims you can still perform sedentary work
Insurance companies often ignore environmental illness and multisystem symptoms. They deny claims by attacking diagnosis, even when symptoms clearly prevent steady work.
