You might also consider white willow bark, tart cherry, or CBD oil. CBD oil is my favorite, but I have used the other two at different times and had success with them.
I read somewhere that a weighted blanket might help in some cases. But for me it's just the opposite; I feel like I'm being crushed by anything heavier than a sheet. For cold nights I made a light blanket out of a piece of flannel and even that seems a bit heavy.
When it comes to supplements...
I can't comment on bad side effects because I haven't had any, but CBD oil does not seem to do much for my menopause symptoms.
I use extract in olive oil. It's doesn't taste that good, but it's only for a couple of minutes. It has taken me a while to work out the best dose for myself. The...
I went GF and also cut out non-gluten grains (seeds) like rice and corn as well several years ago. Gluten gives me nasty headaches, but does't trigger my fibro. Rice and corn make my gut 'gurgle'. Dairy makes me feel lousy if I overdo it. I also cut out alcohol. Last year I went to a low carb...
I purchase my CDB oil online (free shipping, no taxes) and, to tell you the truth I don't know if the price is good or bad, most companies sell their CDB oil for about the same price. I use a very small dosage compared to the suggested dose so a bottle lasts a long time. If I want to use an oil...
Constant pain and the lack of sleep finally drove me to try CDB oil. It took a little over 30 days to get the right dose for me. All I can say is it's awesome stuff. I had almost forgotten what it is like to sleep all night pain-free. I am using Charlotte's Web Premium Hemp Extract...

A good place to start is the website do a search on "gut...

Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...
