Fibro cant be cured. Period.
Try to have a good diet...no wait, excellent healthy diet! That and voiding triggers is the best prevention of flares. 
There are treatments for symptoms but no cure. The doctors are just now starting to believe it exists and starting to research what might cause it, which remains unknown so far.
Oh and vitamins and supplements and such are a must! Vitamin D3 & Melatonian for better sleep. Catnip tea also helps with sleep. So does Valerian Root. 
Peppermint for brain clarity,
vitamin E for cramps & spasms.
The aloe plant (in capsules, not aloe juice) really helps.
Vitamin C and garlic gel caps to keep you from catching sick.
Avoid caffeine, soda drinks and coffee, because they make pain worse.
So does processed foods.
Avoid smoking because its been proven to cause depression and increase pain levels.
Eat fresh fruit and veggies. Eat cabbage raw (slaw) every day.
Sometimes exercise helps, sometimes it makes it worse. Sometimes you have to just stretch and let it go at that.
Hot baths or showers help some people, while ice packs help others.
Avoid refined sugar.
Avoid gluten to see if that is a problem.
Avoid overdoing it.
Get a good counselor.
Get a good support system/friends & family. Educate you and them on what Fibro really is and how it effects you.
Use EVOO not crisco, lard or vegetable oil. Use sparingly. Eat raw veggies often as possible.
And drink lots of water! Pure fresh water, not water from the tap with chemicals added. Just not over the recommended limit.
Drink extra water after chiro!
Avoid like the plague aspartame and saccharine! AVOID

Creatine helps my muscles not be sore.
