Hello mbfribroGal, maybe you don't have fibro, that would be good.
As I see it, you need to investigate this rheumatic disorder that you have, find the name of it, go for a second or even a third opinions. Don't stop until you find a valuable diagnose that you can trust.
As for sleeping, you can ask your doctor to give you sleeping pills to help you. If you are not having restorative sleep, your pain and stress go hand in hand if there is no sleep.
You can try melotonin that you can buy at the any health or pharmacies, some people swear by it. Another thing that you can do, is take Benadryl for allergy, the active ingredient is Diphenhydramine or just hydramine this is a main ingredient in all of the over counter sleeping aids. Only take, when you are sure that you have checked the possible side affects of your other medications.
Memory, the pain, not being happy or being able to care for your child, all goes with not having restorative sleep. Depression sets in and then the longer you are without sleep and chronic pain, the longer it will take to get you comfortable.
Try to take a walk in the fresh air, this helps with the brain as well as helping you sleep at night. Until then, you have several methods for you to take to help you with sleep.
Like I said, you owe it to yourself to figure out what you have, even if that means you, changing doctors.
And yes, again, maybe you do have fibro, but only a rheumy or a neurologist can tell you for sure that you have fibro, after exhaustive tests.
Good luck to you
