#actually fibro

[satellites-halo]

Hi. My doctors diagnosed me with diffused AMPS after running one physical exam and asking some questions. Looking online, apparently the only difference between this and fibromyalgia is fatigue and brain fog and headaches- but fatigue and headaches and brain fog are also considered symptoms of AMPS?

The doctors INSISTED this wasn't fibromyalgia at all and shut me down every time I called it that. What the fuck is going on? Why does AMPS exist as a diagnosis? What's the difference between it and fibromyalgia? Pleaase if anyone can explain it'd be very appreciated . I'm so confused and really trying not to assume the worst

People with fibromyalgia, how did you get your disabled parking tag? I would like to get one but I’m unsure how to breach the subject with a doctor (and also haven’t found a doctor.) I feel like most doctors don’t take fibro seriously period, so how do you get as far as a tag?

Separate question, for my first appointment with a doctor, should I go in my wheelchair, should I take a walker, or should I use a cane?

In case you're new to the disabled/disability tags

Just so people are aware, the 'disabled' and 'disability' tags contain posts from p//orn bots/blogs. Most of what I've seen is hidden behind a link, but their icons can be graphic. Some don't even bother hiding the images or gifs behind links so you some seriously graphic posts. Blocking them by going directly to their page, like on mobile, will often reveal yet again more graphic content. The other tags, from what I've seen, aren't always consistent beyond the disabled/disability tags. Not even a NSF//W tag. So it's probably not a good idea to scroll through either tag in public unfortunately.

I had no idea before I started going to those tags, so I figured a heads up would be nice! And no, this is not being anti-NS//FW across the board. Tag your stuff properly and I can blacklist it no problem and ignore it. Don't co-opt tags while you do it. (Yes I am aware the bots won't care. Censoring tags so it won't be caught just for those tags.)

Also, apologies if there's another post like this out there.

Petition to call men (including trans men!) with fibromyalgia FiBROS Fibromyalgia is not a women's only disease, and you're not more feminine just because you're afflicted!
