answer:I don’t have fibromyalgia, so I can’t really imagine what you are going through. The only chronic pain I have is my back. I have had a really bad back since I was a teenager. My back can “go out” by doing the most harmless things, like picking up a piece of paper. It might cause weeks of near sleeplessness and walking around like I am 95 years old. First of all, mindfulness meditation has been shown to be somewhat effective in reducing pain. I have personal experience with this. Also, I highly recommend that you investigate a better mattress. In my experience, a good mattress can be life-changing. It’s all very personal, however. You’ll need to find out exactly what type of mattress will work for you. Take your time and spend as much $ as you can. I spent years thinking that all I needed was a softer mattress, only to discover that I needed a mattress a bit softer than pavement in order to free my back from pain. Go to an office supply store and try out tons of chairs. Again, a small investment might make a huge difference in your quality of life if you are spending 10 hrs/day sitting in it. For the record, to me that chair you are currently using is indistinguishable from any number of medieval torture devices. My back is hurting just thinking about it.
