There's a theory that guaifenesin, which is an ingredient in alot of expectorant (as opposed to cough suppresant) cough syrups like Robitussin helps fibro. You have to avoid all kinds of other things while taking it for it to work and it takes a long time, usually with an initial big time worsening of symptoms, but there have been reports that people have been cured.
I was taking Robitussin, then guaifenesin pills for awhile and it knocked me for a loop in that it made my symptoms much worse, but then for awhile things did improve. I'd forgotten about that, so thanks for the reminder. Now that I'm not able to work and can devote more time to such things I think I 'll give it another try. - Barbara
