Has anyone tried the protocol to help fibro or taken guafenesin? I'm going to start this treatment soon and was wondering if anyone else has.

Members shared mixed experiences with guaifenesin for fibromyalgia, with one person finding modest relief while another saw no benefit, emphasizing that treatment is often trial and error. Several members highlighted the significant role of vitamin supplementation, particularly noting how correcting a severe vitamin D3 deficiency (from 7.1 to 2000 IU twice daily) provided noticeable improvement, with gluten-free options recommended for those with celiac disease. A recurring theme was cautious optimism tempered by skepticism, as members encouraged each other to try the protocol while acknowledging conflicting reviews and the importance of avoiding ingredients that may block guaifenesin's effectiveness.

I have read some very negative reviews. I think it is being overly hyped and personally do not trust it.
