See a rheumatologist: True weakness is not a symptoms of fibromyalgia. If you physical exam is normal and there are no trigger points, that would also mitigate against a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Have you seen a rheumatologist?

Let's analyze: I presume you have been diagnosed as truly having fibromyalgia, which is a real disorder. This can cause fatigue, muscle cramping and muscle exhaustion, but not a true classical weakness. Many doctors do not understand these subtleties, and try to reassure verbally and dismiss. Try to find a rheumatologist or physiatrist who will pursue your issues.
