Could I have Fibromyalgia? Migraines and many other symptoms

I have had migraines since I was 14...I am now 27. They started approximately once a month or so and became as common as 3-4 times a week. They are dibilitating and I cannot get out of bed besides to the toilet to get sick. I have been everywhere and seem to have tried everything...from MAYO Clinic, Chicago Headache Clinic, 2 surgeries, all sorts of drug therapy as well as natural things such as accupuncture, massage therapy, etc. It seems that accupuncture helps. Just recently I have started to wonder why I seem to be in pain soooo much more (in general, not just the headaches) than the average person is. I have sleep problems, CONSTANT muscle pain (my poor husband, I make him rub my back all the time) and almost every symptom listed for fibromyalgia. I am wondering if my migraines could be aggrevated by Fibromyalgia? Is it possible that I have it? I don't want to self diagnose, but I feel like a dork just going to the doctor and saying I tend to "hurt" everywhere most of the time. What do you think?
