I have both lupus and fibromyalgia. It totally sucks too. Anyway, my rheumatologist put me on Elavil. Once a day at night. It helps me sleep, it helps the pain. I also take Plaquenil for my lupus and the two together really make a difference. I don't hurt anymore, even during the day. I still feel tired a lot, but that is the two diseases together teaming up on me.
I strongly suggest trying the Elavil. It comes in different strengths. I only take 10mg a night and it works.
Good luck.
