Yes most definitely. Fibromyalgia is one of the worst pain. It's there 24/7 no matter what you fdo.

Yes! But, it must be diagnosed by a specialist before you can qualify to go on "Disability."

I think it depends on where you live. I think the UK just considered it a disaility but that isn't so in the US and I am not sure about other countries.
