guaifenesin

[Guest guest]

I've been on it for 3 years. It has helped with certain parts of my FM pain. It

has not helped my

vulvodynia. But I have spoken on the phone to many women who it has helped. The

problem is very

complex and the cause may be different for each of us so don't give up, just

keep trying all the

different stuff as it comes along if it is not to much of a burden for you and

seems to be safe.

Guaifenesin is safe.

One thing about guaifenesin is that sometimes people get symptoms which

they interpret as " cycling " . Your symptoms could be purely coincidental

and be due to something else entirely. So be cautious.

I made that mistake and ended up in Emergency with an infection which had

gone systemic.
