Back and Neck Pain

I am 28 years old, and I have been diagnosed with fybromyalgia and degenerative disc disease.  I have tried physical therapy, excercise, Lyrica for nerve pain from the fybromyalgia, and now I am taking pain medicine on a daily basis, because I have exhausted every other possible help.  I hate taking pain medicine, because it keeps me groggy, and feeling like I just want to sleep.  I have trouble sleeping at night due to the pain, and have been on Ambien for almost a year and a half.  I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, is there anything else that I can do, that will allow me to come off of pain and sleep medicine, so I can live a normal 28 year olds life, and enjoy playing with my kids, instead of dreading it?

Acupuncture can help it,some reaserch as fellow:
Study included 50 fibromyalgia patients whose symptoms hadn't improved with other treatments. Half of the patients got six acupuncture sessions over two or three weeks.
Those who got true acupuncture had notably bigger improvements in fibromyalgia symptoms than those who got fake acupuncture, write the researchers. (WEBMED)
So,try it,good luck!
