I can’t do anything because of my recently diagnosed fibromyalgia and I’m just. So so so tired.
I need help but no one around me is taking me seriously; saying that I can “recover” from my chronic disorder, that it’s “all in my head”, etc even after being diagnosed.
I recently read that fibromyalgia can be registered as a disability so I wish to get myself registered as one so I can avoid having to “prove” that I have fibromyalgia to doctors just to receive some help in a really bad flare up.
I feel like giving up. I feel all of this pain but since no physical injuries show up on scans, and I don’t have papers to prove I have fibro, I’m just taken as a mental nutcase everytime.
Since I’m new to disability related things; if anyone knows what I need to do so I can be registered as such, please let me know. I really need the assistance and support right now as it is hard to even function/live in general.
In case any info helps: Im a japanese tokyo resident/fluent speaking in JP/ENG so no language barrier/i have medical insurance
