Need multiple : Different approach include medications, deep message, low impact exercise, cognitive behavior therapy, sleep quality, etc. If fibromyalgia is secondary then need to treat the underlying cause. It is very complex and require in depth eval. Cannabis use is controversial and definitely not the first line and mainstream therapy. Improve Vit D level could be beneficial, but not first line either.

Each case is unique: Each case is unique, what works for one may not work for another. I suggest you consult a clinician for a thorough clinical evaluation including history, physical examination, and blood tests. You and your doctor may also decide to consider alternative therapeutic modalities.
