Hi Rowena, It may not be a specific homeopathic for FMS but for years FMS was considered a rheumatic condition so from what you wrote below it might just be indicated.
If you know of anyone who has FMS they can find a great deal of relief from FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent, www.frequencyspecific.com). Dr. Carol McMakin is probably the leading authority on non-pharma tx of FMS... and her system works. She has isolated a sub-form of the condition she calls Cervical Trauma Fibromyalgia or CTF. This form she does not believe is curable but is manageable with her system. With non-cervical trauma fibromyalgia it seems there is a percentage of the population that can actually be cured. When it comes to the FSM treatment of FMS I can speak from personal experience. It has made the world of difference in my life. For anyone who has trigger points (not a part of FMS but rather myofascial pain syndrome) FSM coupled with a certified myofascial trigger point therapist can mean the difference between living life and just existing to manage pain. When it comes to a trigger point therapist I have had a number and, by personal experience, I would recommend one that has been trained in the work of Janet Travell, MD, as I have found clinicians trained in her system far superior to those trained in other systems, in general.

In connection with FM the guai people talk about calcium phosphate deposits in the tissues, but fibrin is also deposited, it would appear, which I think enzymes such as serrapeptase might help treat. My reservation was mainly that it was a pharmaceutical product - isn't it a kind of synthetic version of the guaiacum tree, something like that? In homeopathy guaiacum never shows up as a remedy for FMS. This all from memory, but might be a starting point if anyone wants to research it. http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/g/guaiac42.html It is a mild laxative and diuretic. For tonsillitis it is given in powdered form. Specially useful for rheumatoid arthritis, also in chronic rheumatism and gout, relieving the pain and inflammation between the attacks, and lessening their recurrence if doses are continued. It acts as an acrid stimulant, increasing heat of body and circulation; when the decoction is taken hot and the body is kept warm, it acts as a diaphoretic, and if cool as a diuretic. Also largely used for secondary syphilis, skin diseases and scrofula. http://www.vithoulkas.com/en/books-study/online-materia-medica/2644-guaiacum.html This is a very deep acting remedy, even deep enough to cure the symptoms of and turn into order a constitution that is RHEUMATIC, GOUTY, and HAS INHERITED PHTHISIS.R On 4/11/2012 11:56 PM, PT Ferrance wrote: During the 20+ years I have coped with fibromyalgia I came across a great many strategies for doing so. One was Paul St. Armand and guaifenesin. He claims it is perfectly safe. I would disagree. In terms of Oriental Medicine it dries the Yin. In layman's terms it dries the taker out because it thins the body fluids so the deposits can be excreted (along with some of the fluids). If I had known then when I know now I never would have used it. For women, who tend to be Yin deficient anyway because we bleed each month, it just makes us drier... something we fight constantly after menopause. So please, if you are considering taking guaifenesin do your research and talk to others who took it and stopped. I have never met anyone who said, "guaifenesin, I'm so glad I found it." >My two cents... >PT > > > > ________________________________ From: Rowena <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Sun, November 4, 2012 5:25:20 AM >Subject: Re: CS>Guaifenesin/Fibromyalgia support link (was >Cracked >Brittle Nails) > >It's usually an ingredient in cough medicines. >Here's a link: >http://www.psha-inc.com/guai-support/ >The site covers all sorts of information for >fibromyalgia >sufferers. >R > > >On 4/11/2012 8:44 AM, Jane MacRoss wrote: > >What is Guaifenesin?? // Jane
