Hello,
I can understand your pain due to fibromyalgia, as I have many patients who's pain get worse during flares and Tramadol and Duloxetine does not help them much.
There are many things which you can have.
1. Try magnesium lotion on legs and arms and where you are having pain at bed time it helps many.
2. Gabapentin also helps to control pain.
3. You really need to modify your life style like you need to take breaks while doing any work do little work and take rest don't push yourself hard it will make you more fatigue.
4. If you are having extreme pain then you can try tab Diazepam which helps to relax your muscles. It is a chronic disease you need to learn what increase your pain how your body get relax don't overuse and underused your body be modest.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
