In many clients,the pain of fibromyalgia occurs as a direct response to sleep deprivation.Encouraging the client to get sufficient sleep every night can drastically reduce the amount of pain experienced.Wearing gloves will not decrease the pain of fibromyalgia,but it may help a disease such as Raynaud's phenomenon.Weight-bearing activities should not increase pain in a client with fibromyalgia.Similarly,sun exposure has not been identified as a causative pain factor.
