Maybe--Maybe Not: Fibromyalgia can be tough to treat. Check your thyroid. Most folks with fibromyalgia are hypothyroid. Also, increase magnesium intake to "bowel tolerance." You can't OD on magnesium--it will give you diarrhea. Titrate dose to where you're comfortable (500-1500 mg/day). Try Gabapentin at night--to help you sleep, and to relieve your pain. Titrate your dose to sleep all night, wake up alert
