Re: CS>Guaifenesin/Fibromyalgia support link (was Cracked Brittle Nails)

That is why I mentioned that you can get it in the plain version, and 
get it inexpensively in generic form.  I get mine for 4 bucks for a 
bottle of fifty caplets.  Getting pure powder, without the stuff used to 
bind it in caplet form, would be great, and perhaps even less 
expensive.  Just don't buy the namebrand kinds of pills - you'll pay 4 
to five times as much for them.   Sara
The trouble with getting it with a decongestant is that you could get 
an overdose of the other medications to get a high enough dose of the 
guai.  It's freely available in the US, and you could probably get it 
on its own from a compounding chemist in other countries.

Some people have it made into a cream and use it for painful muscle 
problems.

I made the powder into a cream originally with emu oil, later with 
coconut oil; I also added cs/dmso mix.  The initial oil/powder leaves 
a gritty element which the liquid seems to dissolve.

It's usually an ingredient in cough medicines.
