Which will no longer be feasible as more and more people are priced out of city living.

Yeah that sounds about right unfortunately. And fibro is a diagnoses of exclusion but there are specific body parts that are more sensitive and that’s pretty easy to test for. The doctor basically pokes you and sees if you flinch in pain or not lol.

I have fibromyalgia along with audhd and this actually sounds a lot like my experience. You should look into that maybe!

Earbuds are usually less expensive and more portable for me. I can tuck the case in my pocket or in a small bag so that I always have them with me. They do hurt after a while though, but like after 2-3 hours straight.

Just wait until you get to all the things you had no idea you did until after specifically being called out in the assessment lol.

It’s no biggie though. I think a good assessor will have been able to gather enough information about you from what you did remember to bring up. My doctor let me know it was okay to email him if I thought of anything else because people often forget some things.
