Re: Re: About MSM

[Guest guest]

Hi , This is " CB " ..hope I'm replying OK...and that you actually get

this message from me!!! I read with interest your note about MSM. I went to

the Health food store to pick it up after my Rheumy appt. yesterday. The Dr.

wants to put me on MTX but is willing to give me another 2

months....sooooo....I am desperate and ready to try anything! My problem: I

reacted to sulfasalazine and the store told me that MSM is sulfa....Can I

take it? I would think I could because it is biological sulfur and found in

all living organisims and food. Any info from anybody would be of great

help ro me..thanks so much! " CB "
