I'm mostly only making this post because someone I care about told me I should look for more answers. I've only had fibromyalgia for about 4 years, and the first year or so I could still kind of function but it's slowly become worse and worse. For a long time I tirelessly pursued relief and...

Having successfully been managing fibromyalgia on guaifenesin for the last ten years I have recently stopped taking it after being diagnosed with colon cancer. I have had surgery to have a tumour removed from my colon and also liver surgery to remove a node that had spread to my liver. Doctors...
