Brief Answer:
ok.... for fibromyalgia
Detailed Answer:
Medications on nerves are recommended and to basically shift focus onto increasing function (physical therapy to increase exercise tolerance and increase mobility).
Nerve medications generally prescribed for fibromyalgia would include the anti-epileptic pregabalin and the antidepressant amitryptiline.

Brief Answer:
yeah......wouldn't have recommended those......
Detailed Answer:
Ok, first, malingering does not seem even slightly reasonable. You wouldn't be on the site asking questions if you knew you were faking. There would be zero point.
But, other medical illnesses are certainly possible for fatigue. Infections including UTI, endocarditis, viral infections like mono, worms, etc. autoimmune disease, but also just a low blood pressure while standing (most common cause of chronic fatigue syndrome), also metabolic diseases like anemia, vitamin deficiencies.
Depression overlaps with fibromyalgia and the treatment would be the same for both.
