If someone is telling you that it is because of smoking you should quit. A pain doctor or clinic is always a good place to go for chronic pain problems

I was recently prescribed Cymbalta which made a huge difference in the amount of pain I was feeling from the FMS. It also helped with the depression from the FMG. Ask your doctor if you can try it.

My sister has fibromyalgia and she says that exercise and sleeping well help her a lot with the pain.
