I'm disabled, I have Fibromyalgia but that doesn't give me the right to behave like an entitled asshat. I am very aware of my needs and limitations, and I plan accordingly. I know a city trip with lots of walking is just not possible for me. I would have arranged for some sort of mobility scooter. I'm also very tall, and a plus size due to mobility issues, so a wheelchair is out of the question: I'm too heavy to push or self-propel because my shoulders and hands are bad. I can't blame OP for not wanting to go on another trip with this friend either.

I don't have fibromyalgia but I do have scoliosis and while it isn't fair that I got dealt a bad hand, it's still my responsibility to plan around it, not the responsibility of others. If I can't function a certain day, I don't make it the problem of my friends, I just stay back and rest while they enjoy their plans. On the days where I'm ok, I join them. It's pretty simple. Don't drag the people around you down just because of your condition. It sucks, but the dildo of life often comes unlubed, which I and everyone else with chronic pain understands.

I have fibromyalgia- I know my body has limitations so I plan accordingly so I don’t impact others enjoyment. If that means I have to chill in the hotel while folk go do something fun then that’s what I’ll do. I’m not about to scream at strangers due to my s****y planning knowing full well my decisions dictate my pain levels. I would make sure anyone I travel with is well aware that planning in advance may not be a good idea as I can’t say how my body will feel day to day and if they’re not ok with that I totally understand. My condition isn’t anyone’s responsibility but mine to manage, not my friends, not strangers in a train station, not even my family - it sucks, it really really sucks and the pain can be awful and I get that people can have truly bad days and feel at their wits end, still no excuse to treat anyone like s**t.

I have fibromyalgia, autoimmune/inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis. When I travel, it's my responsibility to plan for increases in my symptomatology. Yes, it's excessive that I bring my heating pad, electric blanket, my physiotherapy bands, etc. It takes a lot to keep me functioning. But it's also my job to know my limits and not push past them so that I become an emotional mess from the pain. And just because I'm in pain doesn't give me the right to infringe upon other's lives. I try to make things as easy as possible for the ones I travel with.

I have MANY completely able-bodied friends who I would never travel with because of all sorts of reasons! If a person is obnoxious to travel with, that is all the reason in the world to leave them at home. PSHAW!

I have MS, the type that's known as RRMS (generally the most common) which stands for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. I can feel fine one day, then one or two days later I'm unable to walk properly, or hold things in my right hand, or even swallow my food without it being difficult. When planning a trip, I have to plan for the possibility that I could have a relapse, especially if it's somewhere hot climate. When you have these types of medical conditions, you have to plan. You can't just expect everyone around you to suddenly do everything you need them to at the drop of a hat. I wouldn't travel with that person again either, who wants a holiday with someone who throws a tantrum because they feel the world owes them something? You know your own body, you know things could go wrong at any given moment...plan for it!

I'm disabled and I plan accordingly. If something unexpected arises, I ask for assistance as needed, and I'm patient about waiting on the last-minute accommodations. And even if someone didn't wanna travel with me in the future because my struggle becomes their struggle, I'd completely understand. People pay money to go on vacation to relax, explore, etc... I'm perfectly capable of traveling alone with appropriate planning.

As someone with fibromyalgia, I bring a motorized wheelchair (folds up and fits in the back of car) anytime I travel. I also know that my day is pretty much over by 3:00, and I need to relax in the hotel room while others continue their day. For this reason, I don't travel with friends. It's not fair to them, and it makes me feel like I'm being judged for my limitations (although, that might be in my head). Having an invisible disability sucks if your friends don't understand the issues.

She shouldn't have been so rude to the staff and shouldn't have complained about her own mistakes.

The friend has a lot to learn about managing her condition. I speak from personal experience since I have fibro and ME - not nice. I find I need to plan trip very carefully because I know I can't lift much, I organize walking aids or wheelchairs because I know I can't walk far and I know the when I've reached the end of my limits that's my problem not someone else's. If you have a condition of any sort it is your responsibility to manage it not other people's. (There are always exceptions of course)

I have fibromyalgia, and you're NTA. (Also, I would never behave like that.)

I have fibromyalgia, a herniated disc and a busted hip. I understand maybe getting a taxi back at the end of the day so that I can walk a little further from the hotel, but the rest is entirely Ashley's personality and nothing to do with her disability.

It's not the Fibromyalgia, its that she's annoying and unrealistic and entitled. There are trips specifically for people with physical disabilities. I hear they're great. Maybe friend would want to investigate that option.

Oh, hell, no. I have severe fibro, a wrecked back and arthritis everywhere. I would *never* do what that woman did. She's using her disability as an excuse to act like an a$$hole. I wouldn't want to travel with her either.

NTA. You chose to no longer travel with her based on her horrible planning skills and her wretched treatment of other human beings, not because of her disability. Even if you decided to no longer travel with her solely because of her disability, that's completely fine, too. It's your vacation and it's your life, period.

Clearly OP is not an ableist if she agreed on these trips to begin with. The friend just became too exhausting to deal with and it had nothing to do with disability and everything to do with personality. When vacations become endless chores and drama, best to stay home or go alone

You'll get your money back.
