Hi there. I am sorry you are suffering from fibromyalgia.

I am not knowledgeable in the requirements to go on disability. They could have changed also under a new administatration. One of the things that are considered in your application is how impaired are you. For instance, have you lost a job because of your condition? How many times have you been hospitalized?

If you apply and are not accepted then there are lawyers and NAMI that will help you apply for disability.

As far as how disability would affect custody, that is most likely something a lawyer familiar with your case could advise you.
