My friend/neighbor with fibro went on our quilt retreat last spring. She was the first to sign up for a massage. She did take a lot of breaks and a couple of naps but seemed to get along fine. She is going again to one next month. It is only about 4 miles from our homes so we both go home to sleep. She is in her 70's.
Another friend who suffers terribly has prescription sleeping pills. Her doctor thinks sleep is the most important thing to help with the pain.
