HER STORY

Meet Dr. MacDonald

Dr. MacDonald is a physician with 30 years of experience in Family Medicine, Neuroscience and Clinical Research. She used to be very active as a hiker, and a skydiver, until her body started betraying her time after time. She knows firsthand what it is like to go through years of struggle and finally quit work due to Fibromyalgia. When she found the Guaifenesin Protocol, it made so much sense and she did not understand why it is so unknown in the medical community. After making remarkable recovery herself, she established a new mission to care for Fibromyalgia patients and hopes to further the cause for research in this field. Dr. MacDonald has trained under Dr. Paul St. Amand who wrote the book “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia”. Previously, she was an Integrative Medicine subject-matter expert for the military and is also trained in biofeedback and other non-drug modalities for alleviating pain and anxiety and improving sleep. She is thrilled to once again be able to take care of people and help them back to health! Dr. MacDonald offers whole-person, relationship-based, integrative medical care and rehabilitation for Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). The medical standard of care for Fibromyalgia is uninformed about a safe and effective way to reverse the symptoms of this terrible illness. This treatment is called the Guaifenesin Protocol, as developed by Dr. Paul St. Amand. Go beyond standard approaches for symptom management and start on your path to wellness again! You deserve to be cared for by a physician who understands your illness and has personally experienced recovery on the Guaifenesin Protocol. Let’s work together to remember what “normal” is! You deserve it!

A patient of mine was very upset after seeing a surgeon who told her that fibromyalgia is just “a trash can diagnosis".

“How would you like to see your career slip away from you as you gradually become less and less able to sleep, to rest, to feel awake, to feel like your memory is failing you, to be taking pills every night on call because your legs ache so badly, to become upset so easily you don’t trust yourself to handle stressful situations at work? How would you like to have to stop working because you can’t do it anymore? This would certainly be a catastrophe. But not one of your making. So, the next time your patient appears at their wit’s end, please don’t assume they are just somehow lacking in coping ability. Take them seriously. Show them some empathy. You will both be better off for it.” Margaret Macdonald is a family physician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Fibromyalgia is not a trash can diagnosis.”

Here is what most people want to know

Find the answers to commonly asked questions about fibromyalgia and how to get you back to yourself.

Get Started

Fibromyalgia is a chronic, progressive disorder that causes widespread body pain, profound fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, brain fog, and a host of other symptoms.  The current standard of
medical care states that Fibromyalgia is a problem with hypersensitivity of the central nervous system.

However, there is another sound theory that Fibromyalgia is a genetic and metabolic disturbance caused by a buildup of substances that are not properly excreted that affects energy production in every cell in your body.

Fibromyalgia can be treated with a medication that can reverse the disease process but there are other things you may have to do to ensure the success of the treatment. Dr. MacDonald can guide you through this process.
