First of all I see a rheumatologist for fibro. She put me on a low-dose antidepressant (for inflammation),one other RX strength anti-inflammatory as well as a low-dose muscle relaxant for sleep. I too am doing a gluten/sugar free plan and it does seem to help---though the extreme weather changes may cause some stiffness and achiness at times. Mine is "controlled"! I also do water exercise (they'll tell you to 'keep moving'--the doctors that is) so it's important. I'd say find a rheumatologist and go from there.
