Smoking
According to a 2009 study retreived from Rheumatology International, it was found that smoking can worsen fibromyalgia by intensifying its symptoms such as overall pain, poor sleep and depression. In another clinical study in 2011, smokers are reported to have more tender points than non-smokers. Quitting overnight might not be possible, but you should definitely move towards that goal in order to get pain relief.
