A Helping Hand For Chronic Pain: Fibromyalgia Will Now Be Recognised For Maltese Sickness Benefits
Fibromyalgia, a source of intense pain for many Maltese people, will finally be recognised for sickness benefits, the government has announced for next year’s budget.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterised by widespread pain, accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. While sufferers also experience high sensitivity to pain and may also suffer from migraines and IBS.
To qualify for the benefit, a person would need to undergo stringent tests to prevent abuse. The condition, unfortunately, is something of a mystery as it can’t be detected with scans or blood tests, yet it causes lifelong pain for millions of people.
