    I've got fybro too and it's a nightmare been diagnosed just over 3 yrs now. It seems to affect my legs the most but I'm wondering if they hurt because I'm not using them. Tiredness has been exceptionally bad this year but I have depression so I'm not sure if that's affecting it too.
    I've decided to try CBD oil again but just drops not vaping to see if that helps 
    Good luck and welcome xxx
