Thank you for sharing your story. I too have fibromyalgia and know only too well those looks that obviously just don’t believe you. My latest was that of my PIP assessor! I’ve lost all my PIP because I was having a good day.
This happened to me too. It looks like when I have another dreaded assessment, the only way not to fail is to play up on things.
I did once have a bus driver want to take my bus pass off me because according to him, I don't look disabled. The criteria for a bus pass is that you have to be refused a driving licence. (or other things) I meet that criteria for various reasons, including the medication I'm on. But how would anyone know anything about my medication unless I actually say something?
I was once refused a bus pass on the basis that I can see too. I would love to know how anyone actually knows what I see.
