I was first diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the late 80s, several years later Fibromyalgia was added as diagnosis.

Let's see, what works? I take lots of hot baths, heat helps. I use menthol rub stuff on my shoulders and neck. I've tried various meds and treatments over the years, currently just taking Flexeril in evening to help with sleep.

A great self help manual is Bruce F. Campbell's "The CFIDS/Fibromyalgia Toolkit, A Practical Self-Help Guide".

Folks can feel free to ask questions and share what works for them, there is a lot of info out there but unfortunately no cure. And having both fibromyalgia (or any physical challenge) along with mental health challenges can definitely suck sometimes.
