Marilyn:

Thank you for mentioning that the guifenesin has also

helped your pain. I also was put on it following an

abcessed tooth that resulted in a horrible sinus

infection and have found it has helped my asthma and

my pain levels. When I saw the PA two weeks ago and

asked her to renew the Rx she was more than happy to

do it. I thought I may be imagining things but now

that you have said it helps you with the pain and

sleep I know I am not as crazy as normal. LOL
