I am so sorry that accupuncture didn't work out for you. Very early on, I tried TENS (electrical stimulaton) and it had an awful effect on me. It was downright painful. Later I tried a chiropractor and it hurt. I'm so jealous of those who find relief being cracked (no one with fibro that I'm aware of). I plan to ask my doctor about a medication mentioned here. It's used to prevent migraines of which I get up to 7 times per month. Topamax, I think is the name. It also helps with nerve pain and fibro. I hope to switch from Tramadol to that. I would love something to help with evening pain without it disturbing my sleep.
Take care and I hope you find relief soon.

It is so important to keep muscles strong with fibro, plus I find that movement relieves tight muscles/tendons that cause referred pain. I am painfree moving in a pool. Your overall strength will make tasks easier. Avoid staying in bed with a heating pad for hours. Also, I found that a non-inflammatory diet helped immensely in reducing sleepiness/pain/achiness. Basically, avoid sugars, aspartame, dairy, nightshades (potatoes/tomatoes), processed foods. Keep a food diary for a few weeks, and note days where you do not feel well. There might be common foods that are causal. I am also sensitive to fluorescent lighting, high UVA days, and fragrances.
