I dealt with Fibro for many, many years until I came upon things that helped me. The regimen took approximately 2-3 years for it all to come together to help me. It's alot, but it worked.
1. I went on a low does of Amitriptalyn (spelling?), about 10 mg. This was used not as a psychotropic drug but as a drug to help me get into a deep, healing sleep.
2. I started aquatic PT. The warm water worked wonders.
3. I went for a THERAPUTIC massage every other week.
4. I went to a chiroprator in between.
5. I lost weight on Weight Watchers.
6. I started walking. My hubby actually had to drag me around until I could do it on my own.
7. Once I was able to walk on my on, I started to exercise....tread mill, weights, etc.
Now, although I no longer have Fibro pain, if someone presses in on one of those points, ouch!!
I did all this while I worked full time and went to graduate school.
Hope this helps.

@grandmar yes those pressure points still hurt regardless of what we do.
