    Of course, usual ableism from britbong land.

      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.

        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.

          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)
