Hello Maria @Maria23 and welcome to the community. We're very glad to have you with us.
We have many members who suffer from fibromyalgia in particular. This link is to a conversation about fibromyalgia and PIP https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/34397/fibromyalgia-recognized-by-pip-is-mobility-ever-awarded which you might find interesting.
There are posts about the condition, from other sufferers, in 'Invisible Impairments' https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/invisible-impairments, 'Dealing with chronic pain' https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/chronicpain and in Talk about PIP/DLA https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/talk-about-pip-dla.
You'll probably find others elsewhere, but these seem good places to start and will introduce you to other members. I hope that helps.
You have found a safe place here, Maria, and are among friends. Don't hesitate to tell us or ask us anything that might help us find ways to help you.
Warmest best wishes to you,
