Hi annemari, thank you! I am so glad to see people get something out of my experience and writings. So you just started. How exciting for you! I know it probably doesn’t seem like that from where you are, but now when I look back upon that time it is exciting to me. There were a lot of changes while I was on guai best of luck to you!

GB, yes, multilevel approach – what a great way to put it. I totally TOTALLY agree. My approach was very multilevel, and here I am 8 years later, and feeling really good almost all of the time. My biggest thing was I never gave up. I never threw in the towel. I never said “well, I guess I’m going to be sick for the rest of my life”. I think that’s important.

Like a breath of fresh air reading your guaifenasin thoughts. Having 11 years firo-CFS I just last month began the protocol-and am intersted in hearing someone elses experience with it. I know it’s likely to take even 2 years to totally regain my old stamiana, concentration, strength but am hopeful when I get a few odd reactions from 2400 mg daily guaifenasin with no other meds taken. No doctors have helped in 11 years except to let me go on disabilily for as long as that lasted and now await a pending SSI case. I am my own healer thus far as I suppose many others are with this illness-especially those forced to rely only on MediCal doctors who are uninformed and unintersted in FigromialgiaCFS.

I am a pharmacist and I agree with you. The effects of guaifensin as a muscle relaxant are NOT well known within the medical community. It is actually structurally related to a commonly used medication called carisoprolol that is used as a muscle relaxant. Also guaifenisin is used in veterinary medicine as an aide to anesthesia.
I have had good results with long acting guaifenisin tablets in triple the OTC dose.
I often take this once daily to aide in the aches, tenderness of fibro. But I can tell you also that the approach to fibro MUST be at multilevels including EXCERCISE.
Thanks for telling everyone about guaifenisin use , it IS a good choice in the fibro fight..
