Hi there,

I would definitely say your symptoms are associated with fibromyalgia. I'd recommend ibuprofen, which can help with inflammation and reduce the cramping. I'd also recommend staying well hydrated, as sometimes cramping can be a sign of dehydration. Finally, make sure you're taking a multivitamin, as sometimes cramping can also be indicative of vitamin deficiencies.

I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or if you feel I haven't adequately answered your question.
