Hi friends!<\/p>\n

Let’s just start with this.\u00a0 This isn’t medical advice, but information I’ve actually experienced, plus a ton of research on doctor websites and such.\u00a0 Don’t go off and take supplements without talking to your doctor.\u00a0 I mean it. Also here’s the drugs.com information sheet that contains contraindications, directions, side effects, etc.\u00a0 Guaifenesin Uses, Dosage & Side Effects – Drugs.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

OK, so here we go.\u00a0 I’m all over the forums and support groups for women with lipedema worldwide.\u00a0 I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while, but frankly, have been a little shied away because ya know, I don’t like being sued.\u00a0 LOL!<\/p>\n

But I’m seeing the actual lipedema doctors post on their sites about this drug called Mucinex that’s over the counter, and they’re recommending it to their patients.\u00a0 I tried an off brand of it a while back at a low dose and it really didn’t do anything but make my urine stink, so I got off of it.\u00a0 But then, I got COVID and pneumonia and actually had to take Mucinex at the maximum dose for two weeks to stay out of the hospital.\u00a0 One day during this happy event, I woke up and my legs were noticeably lighter, smaller, and they measured two inches less on each side. TWO INCHES.\u00a0 Also, when I walked, I could feel the skin on my legs moving very freely.\u00a0 Now I’m back onto taking Mucinex (the real brand) daily because of that amazing difference I saw.\u00a0 What’s odd is that I think it affected swelling, but it also affect fibrotic tissue in my legs, like it softened it.<\/p>\n
