Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 a, what is MSM and does it help your RA.....Joyce M Re: [ ] glucosamine and msm ----- Original Message ----- From: " a " <a54@...> > Nina, Osteo bi-flex also has a formula with MSM in it. Does your rheumatologist recommend MSM? He never mentioned it. Just gave me that list and said to decide which one I want to take. ly, I'm so tired of taking pills that I am about to scream. Would be different if they made me feel better. I keep trying new ones, but they either don't help or have side effects I'm not willing to deal with. I told him I wasn't sure I was willing to risk an already compromised liver (by the PBC). Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi . There are many other RA meds that don't have sulfur. I don't know what is to low, but it may be a blessing that you can't take prednisone. It has some pretty nasty long term side effects. Pain meds treat the pain, but you need RA meds to treat RA. I would suggest you seeing a rheumatologist as soon as you can. a On Mar 29, 2005, at 9:42 AM, heahter hamilton wrote: > > > Hello My name is i Live in upper Michigan i really need > someone to talk to about my RA problem is there anyone out there who > has a min. i have a regular doctor, who is good to me he keeps me in > pain meds but i cant take sufa drugs and he said something was to low > for me to take perdizone is there any natural drugs out there that > could help me .
