If it's just fibromyalgia dx probably very hard. I won my case but I had depression and anxeity and degenerative disc disease as well. Well documentation is crucial. I also recommend a lawyer.

30+ years ago I got it first try. For Fibromyalgia, no other medical problems.

These factors were in my favor:
1. A doctor who took the pain of Fibromyalgia seriously (not as a psychological problem)
2. Filling out the paperwork, I made it into a booklet. I added pages so I could give very thorough answers. I was very detailed when answering questions about how drastically my life had changed.
3. Going to appointments dressed as a person with Fibro. No fancy hair style, no make up, dressed for myself in soft, comfortable clothes.
