Hello,
I empathize with it. I know it is problematic to live with such a problem. I am sorry about it.
Fibromyalgia is a difficult problem to treat sometimes.
It requires a combination of medication, exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy.
The recommended drugs are pregabalin, duloxetine and milnacipran.
You may also require taking carnitine, which also helps.
I also suggest relaxation techniques, meditation and breathing exercises.
In addition, you may see a psychiatrist for the depression.
Go for graded exercises under the expertise of a physiotherapist that should help you with your problem.
I hope you get well soon. Let me know if I can help you further.
