Why should I put up with the guaifenesin treatment, when my doctor tells me fibromyalgia is not progressive?
fibromyalgia is very progressive, albeit cyclical. It cycles through bad and good days at first. More places are progressively recruited, anywhere in the body, until one merely cycles from bad to worse. Most people with FMS have experienced numerous lesser symptoms prior to the final insult that precipitates full-blown fibromyalgia. Viruses, accidents and unrelenting stress can all be a final straw. Fibromyalgia is, after all, an energy deprivation disease at the cellular level. Dr St Amand maintains that FMS is the early stages of Osteoarthritis.
