For years and years, Ive heard a friend of the family talk about MSM. She is from the country and has raised horses all her life. Recently, we reconected and started talking again. She lives several states away. Ive known her for about 20 years. Recently I told her I was having back pains and tried everything to Yoga to working out to chiropractor and nothing helped. She told me to take MSM as she...

Over the months that I took the MSM supplement, I gained an unbelievable amount of weight. I don't know why I didn't realize that the MSM was causing it, but it slipped up on me quickly. That has been 40 pounds I have yet to get rid of...the effects for fibromyalgia were great but not after packing on the pounds and more to immobilize me.

Pain and stiffness have been greatly relieved. However both thumb joints seem at times to feel loose, like they are slipping. I have cut back from 2000mgm per day to 1000mgm to see if this will eliminate this side effect.

MSM helps reduce the pain in my finger joints. I have used it for a numer of years and stopped at one point. I had much more trouble with swollen and painful finger joints so resumed using and have little pain and swelling in my finger joints.

I was using Glucosamine and Chondroitin when I was fist diagnosed with Arthritis.When I started using MSM I could finally use the stairs so much better. I have a hard time taking most drugs,so this was a blessing to me.I have had arthritis for 11 years and am so glad I found this early on.I walk every day .Even places with steps are easier for me.

although, I'm really not sure how effective this is. I do notice it helps just as much as presdinone did and my hair, skin and nails look great!

I take MSM daily for knee pain. I have been able to start running again, pain free. It has worked well.

Yucky taste, but can get over. Used it to help with joints in knees to help me be able to keep exercising. Helpful for the pain, but I seem to get all the nausea, itching & other side effects. Not sure if it's a good trade off.

I have used MSM for back pain and hip pain. It worked great. I am now running 4 miles a day with no pain. It also helped with my seasonal allergy.

I've used it for pain for several months on and off. It really works for me. I usually do not have to take for more than a week at a time then do not use it until I have a increase in pain from arthritis.

Used to treat osteoarthritis. It has been effective, where glucosamine has not.
