Sounds like during sex your muscl s are becoming engaged, fatiguing and the fibro symptoms kick in. Here's an intimate suggestion: lie back, try to only let your "love muscle" get engaged-let him do ALL the work, maybe use pillows to prop where necessary. It should be fun at the very least!

I was beginning to wonder if it was just me having this problem and I have been to embarrassed to ask the question, I thought it was in my imagination. I don't have any answers but I hope it reassures you to know that you are not on your own with this.

Dani, I believe I am the only guy to answer but I do understand where you are coming from and where your partner may be at. The positive note is that your partner cares enough about you to not want to hurt you for the sake of his own needs. My best advice and I have a lot of experience with this, is to focus on foreplay. This will relax you and is more slow and sensual. Think journey not destination. It will take pressure off of both of you
