I don't know what dosage you are taking but I was taking a rather high dosage to get at the trigger points. Basically, it dries one out. As we age we dry out anyway and the guaif just made it worse. It is one of the few things I regret having done.

I figured you would know more about guaif's effect on FM better than I. But I have used it for years & years for sinus drainage and have never noticed any side effects as long as I get the pure guaif with no additives etc. I have to get and rx and order from a compounding pharmacy in Nebraska since 'they' made it otc.

Not matter what is said about the safety of the drug it does have side effects.. long term side effects.

Guaifenesin is a product used in cold remedies to 'water' down mucous etc and is fairly harmless.

It seems most discussions of FM are for ways to reduce the effects (e.g. mask the pain, various stretching exercises, diet restrictions), but very little is said about actually curing it or preventing it in the first place. CS/EIS doesn't seem to help (included to keep on topic!). I reduced my joint pain (mostly knees and sometimes hips) to a very low level (often no pain at all) by cutting polyunsaturated fats out of my diet. (confess sometimes I cheat and suffer for it). This includes all vegetable oils except for expeller pressed coconut oil and butter and the fat in half and half, etc. No chicken fat, no lard, no more cooking with bacon fat, LOL. No flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil, borage oil, grapeseed oil or the like, either, almost no nuts. No fish oils. Fish oils are the most unstable of all the PUFA oils. This is obviously not the conventional wisdom re so-called "essential fatty acids" but it worked for me. Probably all the gelatin I now eat helped a lot as well, since I did both things relatively close together time-wise it is hard to separate which one was the most beneficial. But I do notice when I cheat and consume poly-unsaturated fats, the joint pain comes back. sol -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
