Exercise making insomnia worse

Hi,

I've been diagnosed with fribromyalgia and I'm told the right kind of exercise would help. But even going to work or going for a walk for longer than about 30 or 40 minutes not only causes pain, discomfort and fatigue (the first two I'm more than prepared to live with) it seems to correlate with particularly disturbed sleep, including joint pain and anxiety in the night.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've already had to give up playing piano with any seriousness, as well as many foods, drinks, and I can't jog or swim. I hate losing a decent walk in nature too.

Does anyone have any advice for what I could do to help? Thanks
