Have any of you read the book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell Yiu About Fibromyalgia " by R. Paul St. Amand, MD and Claudia Craig Marek. If you do. Can you tell me if it is a good book.

Yes, I've read it. It sets forth something called the guafanesin protocol that supposedly can successfully treat fibromyalgia. A nurse in my community swears by it. I think it's worth the read, just don't get over excited. I tried it for about 3 months but couldn't stick with it. Guafanesin, the active incredient in Mucinex, does seem to help a lot of people with fibro pain. I would read it, but with a grain of salt.

If you do a search in this Q&A for guafanesin, you'll see that other people have discussed this protocol. ...

I don't remember if I've ever seen it or read it but I did hear him speak at a fibro seminar years and years ago in Seattle. I believe he's the doctor who uses guaifenesin, a drug which is in Robitussin cough syrup and is also used for gout.
