Hi Lioness,
I glad to hear other people are using massage and Epsom salt baths too, I also have cupping treatments (the heat, not the cutting) by a wonderful Chinese Doctor, as there is peer reviewed research to show this helps. It aids with my sleep and reduces the symptoms of the fibromyalgia and neurophatoc pain from several herniated discs. For exercise I do Gi Gong, yin yoga, walking, meditation and gentle stretching exercises, as I work freelance and this ables my body to keep mobile, strengthens my muscles, reduces my pain and other symptoms. Also, like you said, getting as much rest as possible.
