Thank you all who responded. I'm going to my GP in a couple of days and again asked to be checked for tender points since I didn't have any last time.

I worked on the computer today and it feels like I have loads of concrete bricks on top of my shoulders. I also have very weird sleeping patterns. I wake up constantly and remember my dreams. It makes for a interesting but unrestful sleep!

I've read that a theory that if the sleeping issues with FM are addressed, it helps the fatigue. It makes sense, but I wonder if dealing with that alone also helps with the pain. It seems like a treatment of addressing the sleep and pain is the best way to go?

As for working, I guess if I can find a job where the boss doesn't mind me being in a fog for a couple of hours in the morning and being too tired to even show up at least a few days a month, I'll be ok
