While I don't have a formal diagnosis of FM, it appears I've had the symptoms and have been treated accordingly for 10 years. Typically I have persistent low-level pain and stiffness everywhere in the body (2-3 on a 0-10 scale). Have been on Duloxetine/Cymbalta 60mg for a decade, we've tried a higher dose which didn't help.

I have been very active regardless of the mild pain and have been attempting to find triggers. On occasion, the pain level skyrockets to 7-8 and lasts for a week or so when triggered and it hits whole body. After a week, it starts calming down. These "pain storms" cause poor sleep and brain fog.

One trigger for me is too much physical activity - mainly repetitive bending.

Also just recently diagnosed with arthritis and a torn labrum in my left shoulder - surgery is pending and also arthritis and a torn labrum in my left hip - that's awaiting a cortisone injection to reduce pain. Trying to get these fixed/managed before re-addressing the possible FM situation. Off the record, I've been advised to consider weed for pain relief twice by different medical professionals.
