Beth: I am interested in this guaifenesin and mapping

November 14, 2001

Beth, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Lyme. Did your

doctor give you any information on this medication and the mapping? I would

like to read it and share it with my doctors. We never know what might help

someone else with similar problems! if you did not get anything, could you

call your doctor and see if they would send you something that maybe you

could post for all of us to read and learn from, or I will pay for the

copies and postage if necessary! Thanks for your thinking of others!

Especially since we know that Lyme does effect our heart as well as other

organs and tissues in our bodies! KC in TX
