bellgirl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It alleviates the pressure and inflammation on your sinuses and your head possibly, which decreases the dizziness. Does it have an antihistamine in it? or anti-inflamatory, like NSAIDS or aspirin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giftcreations123 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mucinex just thins the mucus .. Maybe it helps blood move more freely through my body .. Strange ?Advil also helps some of my symptoms but can't take it with beta blockers .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icesktr189 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Im thinking its either autoimmune or my body is too busy figting the cold to deal with the autonomic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hm that's interesting..I know when I had infections and had to be on an antibiotic, my symptoms surprisingly went away for awhile..but then it always come back. I don't know how Mucinex works though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeSprings Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 My doc said its an indicator that my problem is autoimmune.Interesting. Why would this be? Immune system targets the infection instead of "X" ? Or maybe it's the opposite and we're immune suppressed and the infection gets it working again?

ramakentesh Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 My Rheumy said that a lot but not all of his patients with other autoimmune problems find that infections lessen their autoimmunity for a while as does controlled fasting. Do you guys find your symptoms fluctuate over time or even within the week quite dramatically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
