Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
From the history given it seems that you might be suffering from fibromyalgia.
You can feel better by following this:
Getting enough sleep and the right kind of sleep can help ease the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia .
Although pain and fatigue may make exercise and daily activities difficult, it is crucial to be as physically active as possible.
You can continue to work, but you may have to make big changes to do so.
It is important to have a healthy, balanced diet. Not only will proper nutrition give you more energy and make you generally feel better, it will also help you avoid other health problems.

What tests will confirm fibromyalgia? pls advice.
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query again.
Diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia include:
Widespread pain lasting at least three months
No other underlying condition that might be causing the pain
While there is no lab test to confirm a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, your doctor may want to rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms. Blood tests may include:
Complete blood count
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Thyroid function tests
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health...
