My doctor lent me the book; I then bought my own copy and followed the protocol to the letter. Buying cosmetics, lotion's and such made me more knowledgeable about ingredients; I even took a magnifying glass along to Wal-Mart so I could read the fine print on the packages! <br /><br />When I began the protocol I stopped taking the antidepressants that I used for sleep and began using Benadryl 50mg. Actually, I used Wal-Mart’s Equate version as they are less expensive. <br /><br />While on the Guaifenesin I kept a daily calendar of how I felt. At the end of 19 months; <br />I had taken the highest dosage possible and the last month read as the first. I had no improvements other than I was having more normal sleep with the Equate allergy medication. While on antidepressants, I didn’t fall asleep, I was rendered unconscious and then was dopey until 11:00a.m. <br /><br />While on the Guaifenesin, I felt as though the pain was worse at certain times.<br /><br />I still use the Equate and take Shark Cartilage to reduce muscle pain. Another Fibromyalgic suggested this and I have found it beneficial at bedtime and during the day if needed.<br /><br />I hope you hear from someone who has had better results.~Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124978623730840068noreply@blogger.com
