While I don't have fibromyalgia, I do have a couple of other conditions that make pain a pretty much daily companion. There are better days and there are worse days. I grew up with my conditions, so I have adapted to living with it and I don't usually think it restricts my life or my kink, but yeah, it kinda does. There are positions I can't hold, I have to avoid certain types of strain on my body and on the worst days the pain just makes me snippy and generally a sad person to be around.
You need to find the methods that help you keep the pain on a tolerable level and work around that a little, but there's no need why you couldn't enjoy your kink. The pain inflicted by J is completely different from the chronic pain I have, so I enjoy the pain and sensations that are intented to be painful. Sometimes I even feel like it helps with the chronic pain, probably because of the endorphines and it definitely helps forget the underlying chronic pain.
J knows what the situation is and believes me when I say not to push something further. He also knows I don't use my conditions as an excuse to get out of doing things. Well, not with him anyways. Some boring things when I was in school... Then I wasn't afraid to play the "woe be me" card.
I hope you'll get help for your pain and learn to work around it when need be. It might take a while, but it's definitely doable.

Autoimmune here, lots of externally inflicted time outs.
Sometimes all that really works is lying in bed and talking about the filthy things you're gonna do when you don't feel like ass. Or watching, directing, stuff like that.
And that can actually be pretty great.
If your pain or any meds your're on haven't squished your desire to do that like a little bug, you're totally in business. Get mental and creative.
