How To Manage The Pain In The Body And Joints Without Metformin, Xanax?

I am 47 with hypothyroid for 27 yrs.. Also metabolic syndrome and take metformin, Xanax for anxiety. Recently diagnosed with fybro and can t tolerate any of he meds for it... All over pain and joints. Terrible fatigue.. And leg pain. Rheumatologist ordered test that I am slowly getting results. Really want to know what they all mean.. ANA titer was high.. 320, ch50 was over 60 and drrvt was 30 flagged low. I am waiting on one more test result.. Are these looking at lupus? Or results from autoimmune from thyroid? The pain is unbearable at times. Worst during menses and when over exertion. Have a terrible time falling asleep and pain wakes me up every night. I m a mom of a little girl who was born with type 1 diabetes and she needs a mom who can function to care for her. Any help? Thanks
