Have you found anything to successfully treat fibromyalgia pain?

I found Cymbalta to help some, but without the stretching and exercise it is not very effective for me. This past week, I have had WAY too much keyboard time, and my whole body is objecting - dealing with chronic pain of any sort is all about finding balance. So today, I will be doing an extra session of stretching and exercise, probably followed by a second long, hot shower to calm things.
What other strategies do you use to combat your pain?

I keep my muscles as warm as possible, even when my husband insists the house is "warm enough". Extra layers of clothes do fine by me! Stretching when it feels good, careful use of my energy quotient on any given day, healthy diet as much as possible, distraction by doing hobbies or getting outside. All of these, or mix-them-up, seem to help me.
