Countering these assumptions, participants portrayed the women as normal, valuable employees who did not \u2018give in\u2019 to their illness. The portrayals drew on two discourses, normalcy and mind-controlling-the-body, and a related narrative, overcoming disability. We propose that participants\u2019 portrayals helped women manage their identities in competitive workplaces and thereby remain employed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings augment the very sparse literature on employment with fibromyalgia.
