I know how you feel, sort of. I have dystonia, because of breaking my back. Besides pain in my shoulders, rotator cuff area, SCM muscle, I get arm cramps and twinges in my bicep and tricep. The pain is probably as intense, but a different cause. All that can be done, as far as I know for fibromyalgia or dystonia, is palliative measures like pain management, and finding the right combination is difficult. Ice, heat, TENS, meds, gentle stretching, a person who is trained in massage for those conditions help somewhat, but it is still difficult to manage. Also, the pain can also cause fatigue, beside med side effects causing fatigue. It can be mentally draining.
