Hi, I don't have Pseudogout but I do have Gout.
I also have Fibromyalgia which for me is debilitating. I also have Interstitial Cystitis and IBS amongst other things. I take Allopurinol for my Gout which so far has worked well in keeping my uric acid levels down. When I have a flare up, I also take Indomethacin. The Gout pain which I'm sure like your Pseudogout pain is so, so painful! Yes, I'm with you...it does suck always being in pain. I hope you get some relief. Malena
