Why might fibromyalgia patients feel worse before they feel better when using guaifenesin ?

As the cells are rid of excess waste, they sweep their rejected phosphate into the blood. At first, the body may not be able to rid itself of the waste, and will store it temporarily in small amounts throughout the body. The wastes may collect in the muscles and brain, and at first will intensify symptoms such as muscle pain, fatigue, mental confusion, insomnia and depression. However, over time, as normal functioning of the cells resumes, fibromyalgia patients may see a great improvement or even a full remission of their symptoms.
