Fibromyalgia?

Hello, I need a bit of advice please.
I'm showing all the symptoms of fibromyalgia but Im unsure whether to go to the docs again about it.
Been feeling like it for almost 12 months now.
Symptoms include...
Pain pretty much everywhere every day.
Can't sleep at night because if I stay in one position for so long I seize up and it then hurts to move again.
I struggle to get out of bed in the morning because I feel like ive been hit by a bus.
Permanently tired and when I do feel a little energetic it don't last long then all I want to do is sleep.
It really is driving me mad and on top of that I'm insulin dependant.
Whaat are everyone's thoughts.
Many thanks.

Some days are good and some days I just wanna cry and go to bed because I haven't got the strength to even lift a kettle.
