I have been living with fibro for 20 + years. I used to be on the monster roller coaster, not I am on the kiddy roller coaster. I have leg pain problems. I view fibro solutions as a tool box. When you have the pain you select a tool to address the pain event, if that one does not work, then select the next one. I start with focused breathing, then rub on relief or a infra-red heating pad, laying down with a weighted blanket, range of motion movements or stretched or a short walk, etc... Some your solutions are limited by where you are when the event occurs.
A doctor explained the fibro as the orchestra conductor misbehaving with your nerves being the musicians. You need to take back the control of the concert.
Cogitative behavior therapy helped me learn the focused breathing along with yoga classes.
