“GLP-1s May Ease Symptom Burden in Patients With Fibromyalgia” (Medscape)

It's not wildly convincing, the measure seems to be whether those in the GLP-1 group were less likely to use opioids for pain relief.

A minority were, but there could be any number of reasons for it. People who meet the conditions for a GLP-1 prescription often have obesity, and losing some weight can ease joint and muscle pain on its own.

Looked at it hopefully for a friend with FMS, but I'm not sure she'll be persuaded it's worth the risk.
