Travel Insurance for Fibromyalgia

About this group

Fibromyalgia – also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) – is a long-term condition that can present a wide range of symptoms. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, though it's believed that abnormal levels of chemicals in the brain and central nervous system may play a significant role. Fibromyalgia affects around seven times as many women as men, and is most common between the ages of 30 and 50.

When planning to get away, it’s natural to feel a sense of trepidation; because we see holiday-time as valuable (and often well-deserved), we want everything to go right. For those with fibromyalgia – the symptoms of which can be both varied and unpredictable – the prospect may be even more challenging.

As with many things in life, a big part of the answer is often good preparation. The Practical Fibromite blogs on many aspects of everyday life, offering advice and information along the way – such as tips for travelling with fibromyalgia. There are also a number of other forums on the internet where people exchange their experiences on managing the condition. A common travel-related tip is to treat yourself to a massage, before and/or after a journey – particularly a flight – to help get the blood circulating again.

But if booking that first luxurious massage has just made its way toward the top of your pre-travel ‘To Do’ list, we suggest there’s one action that may take even greater priority: finding and arranging good travel insurance.

We are still working on an exclusive deal on travel insurance for people with fibromyalgia, and the more people join the group, the better our chances of negotiating the best deal, so thank you for your support.

In the meantime, our research has indicated that a good option could be to get a quote from Staysure.

This is because unlike other insurers, Staysure have a list of conditions which they accept without any need for declaration (this can be viewed on their website during the quote-and-buy process). Fibromyalgia is one of those conditions - this means that for the same trip, Staysure will give the same price for someone with and someone without fibromyalgia.

So Staysure could be a good option for these reasons:

As described, Staysure do not require you to declare your fibromyalgia, giving you a better chance to get a good quote

Get insured for single trips, even up to the age of 85

They specialise in provide great cover for over 50s and you can declare a range of medical conditions during the quote process

We'll keep working to get a better deal on travel insurance for people with fibromyalgia, but in the mean time do let us know how the quote with Staysure works out - the more we know, the better our negotiations can be!
