Can fibromyalgia go into remission and come back?

Good morning. I’ve just signed up to this forum as I am totally bemused by my condition and hoping you can help me.
Around 4 years ago I was told I had fibromyalgia. I tried various different types of pain relief and nothing helped. I was actually unsure the diagnosis was correct but I’m not a dr so went with it. After 2 years my symptoms suddenly started to go away and for the last 2 years I have been symptom free. I felt so well that in March I started my own cleaning company and now clean 4 days out of 7. Most days 6-7 hours a day. The last few week I have started feeling unwell again. Very similar to before.
My question is, can fibromyalgia go into remission and come back and have I chosen the wrong career choice? Or should I go back to the drs and see if there’s something else going on?
A new symptom this time is not being able to lie on the right side of my head at night. It causes a lot of pain around my ear and eye on that side and pressure across my forehead. I didn’t have this last time and wonder if anyone else suffers like this?

Thanks for your reply. I think I may have phrased my question wrongly. I was more wondering if anyone else with fibromyalgia had experienced a similar thing.
@ivycottage
firstly im sorry to hear you are constantly in so much pain.
I will speak to my gp this week. Thanks for your reply. X
I think it is a good idea to see your GP, let us know how you get on.
