ibromyalgia
"My Fibro pain started 35 years ago and all the doctors shrugged their shoulders.  In 2000, I was finally diagnosed and given pain and sleep medication to control the symptoms. At this point I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.  When I finally climbed out of the hole, I wasn't content with just "controlling" the symptoms with medication.  Yes, it put me to sleep the 1st week and made things worse but the guaifenesin worked very gradually, and over time I began to improve. This is NOT an instant fix. or cure. It takes months and even years. Over the past 16 years I have stopped taking Guaifenesin 3 times and each time I have been slammed with pain within a few weeks.  The lesson is just keep taking  it."
