I heard this helps people with fibro. I just bought some in generic form. Does anyone take this? If so, do you just take it as directed on the bottle? If anyone knows please help. (((hugs))) Jen

I've never heard that it helped with Fibro. why would it? It is for chest congestion, and it works great for that. What were you told it helped with?

Oh, I'm sorry Dixe. I answered your question wrong. I'm not sure what it helps with. I just heard that it helps.

Well, if you try it and it does anything let us all know. But it really is for chest congestion.

I take it, one every 6 hours instead of 2 every 12. It seems to work better for me that way and I don't end up with cotton mouth. I have chronic bronchitis so I take it quite often. Don't take more than 4 in a 24 hour period. I get relief with it or I wouldn't take it. I buy mine at SAM's (bottle of 40), pricey but works for me.

the guai used for fibro is supposed to be ina more pure form than that is the cough remedies..
Most fibro specialists agree that this treatment doesnt work for fibro anyway..it is a neurological condtion so why would a cough medicine help?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
