Do I need to mention Fibro on my holiday insurance and if so does that mean I need to let my car insurers know too - only diagnosed in March!

definitely no. 99.9% sure they wouldn't know what it is.
Yes, your medical history is confidential however, if you are applying for holiday insurance you must declare fibromyalgia. If something happened and you didn't declare then the insurance is void. I put fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism on mine just to be on the safe side.
You are definitely better mentioning it.. And it doesn't put the premium up by much
If you take I'll on holiday and it can be classed, loosely or not, given the multitude of Fibro symptoms there are, you can be guaranteed the insurance company will invalidate your cover by not having it declared.
I was actually just pricing 7 days European ( incl Spain) by declaring it , ( they ask about neck and back as part of it so didn't have to declare separate) rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, Vaso Vagal attacks, anxiety, depression and was surprised it was only £63
An annual multiple trip was £213
Hope this helps xx
Gentle hugs
@A MyFibroTeam Member I've never mentioned it to be honest it just gives them an excuse to bump up the premium x
Off to France tomorrow and have no insurance as its only across the water and we have the Euro health cards with us.
