I came accross this article elsewhere and thought it might be helpful.
"I suffered from the side effects of statin(lipitor) and lupid (gemfibrosil) drugs for three years ,this was the burning legs/knees,severe leg cramps,transiant muscle spasms.etc.I discovered (by accident) about a OTC drug being used for the treatment of fibromyalgia.This is called "guaifenesin" This is the expectorant in most OTC cough medicines.I had a bad head cold last month and started taking a "Tussin" Cough medicine,,Four days into the cold my leg pain was almost gone and i had no idea why..Then i read an article in the paper about a study in europe that reported that doctors were having success in treating fibromyalgia with this drug,The bells and whisles went off in my head that i was taking this drug allready and maybe this was the pain relief that i was feeling,,I am still taking 400Mg a day and feeling great"
