I also have severe fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis plus Sjogrens syndrome. My orthopedic ordered an MRI to check for bone cancer as my mother died of it. It showed arthritis in every joint. It's even attacking my new artificial hip. He then checked me for fibromyalgia and I responded to all the trigger sites. He said it was the worse case he had ever seen! I am taking medical marijuana- CBD with a .2mg of THC. I buy them separately and sometimes don't add the THC. I buy from a reputable firm and it has really helped. Last Jan. I had Gamma surgery for a meningioma and when the helmet was removed the headache and nausea was awful. The nurse had me take 1mg of CBD (they had told me to take it with me) and it got rid of the nausea almost immediately and the headache in about 30 minutes. I have COPD (never smoked), asthma, and AFIB. My pulmonologist told me to take the CBD to relax me when I had the gamma laser surgery as he was concerned about the type of drugs they were going to give me. The CBD really helped to relax me and it helps with the pain.. If you decide to buy it make sure the firm is reputable. Rely on the CBD consultants to help you decide on the dosage. In FL you have to go the a marijuana approved Dr. and then he/she will notify the State that you have the qualifying diseases and then you pay the State for your license. I am not happy with the marijuana Dr. as he gave me a list of things that I should take. He listed vaping (never with COPD), and 20mg of THC. I take .2 mg. BIG difference. The consultant said 20mg was way too high. He told me to take more CBD and a little THC. Their motto " Start low and go slow". Also my husband has really bad neuropathy from diabetes. He has started taking .4 mg of CBD and he can now sleep without pain in his legs. I hope this helps. Good luck.
