How can I tell if the guaifenesin is working?
Reversal of Fibromyalgia is a cyclical process. The theory is that some abnormal deposit, probably phosphates, is withdrawn from the cells of the muscles, tendons, joints, brain, intestinal tissues, endocrine glands, and many other sites. As these reversals occur, all previous symptoms are reproduced, and patients experience pain and emotional disturbances similar to their previous ones but in reverse, and sometimes more intensely, as the entire process is accelerated. In other words, if you’re feeling worse, you’re getting better. We aim for feeling significantly, but tolerably worse. This indicates in a subjective way that the Guaifenesin is working. Many people also report feeling discomfort and pain in areas they had never noticed symptoms in previously. Also, the reversal symptoms often will move about from area to area. You may feel uncomfortable for weeks on end, but usually it is something different every few days or weeks.
