Hi dave , rant away, you don't say if fibro is your only or main complaint but morphine doesn't seem to work with fibro and it certainly doesn't agree with me ..... As for the sleep issue I can totally sympathise there. I have had fibro 23 years and its only the last 18 months I have got my nights meds perfect and I sleep.. It's a good idea to see your GP or pain specialist as meds can and have stopped working for me in the past ....
Fingers crossed you get things sorted and soon

I am experiencing exactly the same as you and I have put it down to the cold weather. Whenever it is cold I tend to be awake for 18-24 hours and then sleep 18-24 hours. Like you, my neck, shoulders in fact, most of my joints hurt and I have the most dreadful headaches. When I am like this I try to rest and not 'overdo' it when I am awake, but make sure that I do something to move my joints. .Have you tried self massage to help the pain in your joints or basic yoga? There's even chair/wheelchair yoga if you can't get onto the floor like me. I just use either my wheelchair or an ordinary chair for the exercises and I feel a lot better afterwards. My joints don't feel as 'tight' anymore. and the pain lessens. You can get information about this type of yoga on Youtube and online.. Here's a couple of links you might find useful

Take care of yourself and if you want to moan to people who understand where you are coming from , this is the place! It's a great site. Love S X
Me too. Its been a month of waking up at 3. My muscles are killing me. I think its weather too. I take morphine and paracetomol and I find it works at mo but need to see doc again. Simple hot bath helps to loosen tight muscles. Cant do my hobbies either xx
I completely understand what you are saying and have had very similar experience in the last week, my sleep has always and I fear will always not be good even though I take meds that seemingly would knock others out cold, still my eyes are open and my mind is, to be honest, probably more active than it ever could be during the day. And the knock on effect is not fun at all.
Wishing you the very best and hoping that your doctor can help perhaps with meds to help.
