Hello,
Fibromyalgia is treated with physical therapy and regular exercise. Pain killer medication with anti-depressents may useful. If pain is under control the dose is slowly reduce to minimal maintenance dose. Then this maintenance dose should be maintained. Please consult with your rheumatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
