Day 4

Today is day 4 of my guaifenesin protocol and I am still taking 300 mg of guaifenesis 2 times a day. So far my pain has not gotten worse to tell me I've reached my correct dosage.

On a side note, I did have about an hour earlier where I was completely pain free. I seriously doubt it was connected to the guaifenesin protocol, but you never know... I don't know how long it has been since I have been pain free. It was short lived, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. I celebrated by doing laundry. I sure do know how to party!!

Day 3

My new salicyclate free make-up arrived today! I was sitting on the front porch working on my laptop when my favorite man in brown rolled up the driveway. Yeah!

I LOVE what I got. Granted the $100.00 of make-up fit easily in one hand, but it was sal-free, it was new, and it felt like Christmas!

Here is what I got:
Foundation
Blush
Mascara
Eyeshadow
Powder
Concealer
Eye shadown brush
Powder brush

I haven't had any new symptoms so far...just regular old fibro pains.

Day 2

I started my guai yesterday and today I've continued to take 300mg. I haven't noticed any change in my symptoms.

Day 1

Okay, so I've changed my mind.

Yesterday I posted I was going to start taking my guai on Wednesday. The rest of my products will arrive on Tuesday, so figured Wednesday would be a good day.

Well, I've decided to start today instead. The only thing I am waiting for is my salicylate free make-up to arrive. The way I am feeling, I am not going to be leaving the house for a few days anyway, so no sense in waiting for make-up to arrive. Hopefully my family won't mind my natural look. :) Another factor is today is October 1st and I like the idea of starting Day 1 on October 1st.

For my guaifenesin I bought the Mucinex 600 mg. Since Dr. Amand says to start with 300 mg 2 times a week, I cut the guai in half this morning and took 300 mg. I am not looking forward to the guai reversing my fibro - I know the pain will be horrible. I feel horrible as it is.

So there you have it - I've started!
