Janet, I've had fibromyalgia for around 20 years now. It varies in intensity. I can have long periods with little or no pain (fibromyalgia pain, that is). Other times, I can have mild pain or sometimes, stong aches & pains all over.
Depression & fibromyalgia often go hand in hand. Sleep isn't as satisfying, anxiety can increase. For other reasons, I take a stimulant, Dexedrine, & have found that since I've been using it, my fibro hasn't bothered me much. I did a search on Google to see if there was a tie-in & with some people there is. I've found the Dexedrine acts as a AD for some people too.
Like another person mentioned, if you were bipolar, I think you may have noticed more emotional ups & downs than you've mentioned.
If you have any more specific questions, I'll do my best to answer them.
