Re: MSM--anyone have success with it?

[Guest guest]

Hi

I thought it was only helpful with osteoarthritis (the only non-inflammatory

type of arthritis).

MSM--anyone have success with it?

I am looking into trying MSM.

I wouldn't think it would be wise to take medicine that was ordered for

horses. You don't know, for sure, what is in the tablets or where it came from,

nor do you know what dosage would be safe for humans to take. The following

article was written a few years ago, the second link was written recently from

the Mayo Clinic:

Hi Connie

You are so great at supplying great sources!

[Guest guest]

i've been using MSM for about 5 years. i noticed some reduction in inflammation,

more than when i didnt or havent been taking it. 2000mg per day, and they

suggest you combine it with glucosamine and grape seed extract for the best

effect. i get mine from the following company in the US "

www.worldimagenaturals.com

their prices are reasonable and their product seems to be of good quality.

good luck. james

never been able to afford to try it. But I have access to a place that

sells it in bulk--for horses! A friend with horses had a younger

arthritic horse and she gets a giant jar of the MSM powder for $12.

That would be enough to last me at least six months. It has done her

horse a world of good.

Any success with Reiter's patients?

I would be willing to try anything. If someone told me to run around

the house naked with chicken bones around my neck, I would give it a

try!!!

Exactly!! One thing that I have gotten over that past 5 years is

plenty of advise. When I tell people I have a form a arthritis,

everyone has a home remedy. I do not think they quite understand the

pain associated with Reiter's. I have heard, cherry Juice, castor

oil, hot tubs, bar of soap under the bed, potatoe in your pocket. I

remember telling my rheumy when I 1st visited him to consider cutting

my legs off at the knee. We can be pretty desperate.
