Of course, usual ableism from britbong land.

Next off "we gonna cut all disability benefits AND ban the autists from working, bcz fuck you go to the gas chambers now."

Life is so miserable here I would consider it a blessing to be sent to the gas chamber at this point. I honestly wonder why they don't legalise assisted suicide, they clearly want us dead. It would be kinder than killing us slowly as they do now.

Fibromyalgia is a serious condition, that employers must compensate more.

P.S.: I am a disabled person

everyone's pain and suffering is real, the bucket it's put in is more fake than most diagnostic labels.

afaik It's more correct to say that people diagnosed with that have something going on that should be accommodated more but it's not a very rigorously defined thing. If we had better healthcare systems we'd allocate treatment without requiring a pay code label that's really a collection of ambiguous symptoms and misleads patients and caregivers.

I don’t what it is from a cursory glance looks pretty bad

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 1 points 2 hours ago

The label covers a set of symptoms (Pain, tiredness, depression, stiffness, and lack of rest from sleep), united only by being idiopathic. (Without a known cause).

From a diagnostic standpoint fibromylagia is throwing your hands in the air and going "Something's fucky, but we don't know what it is". Which doesn't mean that the person doesn't suffer, some people with this diagnosis are basically bedridden and in agony (Others have mild aches and pains, which still sucks)
