Hi and Welcome,
Welcome and I'm sorry for your problem.
I have fibromyalgia too and it took a few painful years before I got it figured out. It was one of the things that led me to drinking, because I just couldn't get any sleep otherwise.
I don't use painkillers for fibro. I changed my lifestyle and it made a big difference for me. I have strengthened my body with yoga and weight-training and it's really helped. I was blessed enough to be able to work part-time instead of full-time and above all, I learned to say No.
Take a look around and I hope you feel at home.
