Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia While Having Diabetes

I am a Type 1 diabetic for 36 years. It is autoimmune, I m quite sure I also have fibromyalgia. I take A generic Zoloft for depression for about 20 years, I would like to take a drug that will help with my fibromyalgia. Is there a test I can take to bring to my GP to help prove this is what I have?
