Anyone tried the Mucinex treatment for fibromyalgia?

karen, do you know the name of the generic mucinex? I am willing to try anything at this point. thank you!

I have found generic at Walmart under the brand Assured. It is called Mucus Relief. The active ingredient is guaifenesin. Good luck. Let me know if it helps. I never tried it. I've been feeling pretty good lately thankfully!

Hey Rosie..I a also a 2x a year patient of St Amand..cool eh?..Fibroheads must stick together..hehe except I have "Fibroglycemia"...mostof his patients do though if not already diabetic. E

I did research on that and it is a SCAM. Go to www.fmnetnews.com/resourches-alert-product6.php

i have had fibro since i was 14 years old thats for over 10 years now all so called cures in a bottle i have tried i have done exsream reserch into every treatment out there for fibromyalgia Going on the Guai protocol is the best ever thing that i have ever done for my health i have been on it since Aug 2006 and i can tell you that i have had over 200 pain free days being on this treatment i was pain free all** of last week i had 13 pain free days before christmas all in a row i had 7 pain free days about 2 weeks ago and i went to london to get mapped it was a 3 hours traveling and i was still pain free the next day before guai i would be bedridden for a very long time the Guai protocol works its NOT A QUICK FIX! you can recover from fibromyalgia with the guai protocol it takes time and you have to GO BY THE BOOK BY THE LETTER! i have a few friends that have a normal life now thanks to guai but takes time! and its for life its worth doing it and its worth being on it for a very long time too i would give it a change am here if you need any help Nicole

Mucinex is the Only Approved Guai for the protocol and you can get it in 600mg a tablet as thats what i take it has to be the Extended release bi layer ones too as the Dr has treated over 20,000 fms/cfs people and the one Guaifenesin that has worked the best is the Mucinex and th Dr has had people use other Guaifenesins brands BUT THEY WENT BACKWARDS AND IT WAS NOT WORING SO BECT TO USE MUCINEX!

I am also a patient of st Amand and his quest for curing FM in every human on earth..Mucinex is litterally the "expensive" version of Guaifeneson..which is why those who follow St amands protocal will ONLY take it becase it has NO sideeffects and is cheaper than mucinex..besides you would have to buy more mucinex than guai cause I am not sure if thee is a 600mg dose of it.

We have found that any plain Guaifenesin works fine. People selling expensive brand name products will have someone on here saying theirs is the only way. We take it twice per day, and it lasts for 12 hours, so that works out fine. Most important thing any Fibro can do is know which version of FMS they have. You won't hear anyone but me telling that (or someone who uses this method). If your doc has checked your Thyroid and your temperatue stays about 98.6, that's the first info you need. If it's off, you need to get it corrected. Talk to your doc. Simple test you do yourself is be sure your saliva pH is about 7.4 That's normal. Any number lower means you are too acidy. Won't show on urine test, just saliva. About 90% of us are this version. Test strip on a roll dispenser is about $13 at some health food stores. Will do about 300 tests, so it's very cheap per test. The lower the number, the greater the symptoms you have. You can change what you eat, use some type of alkali if needed, etc. Testing saliva tells you what all the clear fluid in your body is like. Lymph, interstitial fluid, etc. Just no one knew to check this. This clear fluid is what feeds, rinses and lubricates all the cells in our bodies. If it's not working correctly, we have Fibromyalgia symptoms.

Call your pain management doctor who suggested it to see what dosage to take. Like I've said before, I've taken mucinex for colds and never noticed any difference in my pain.
