I've been taking MSM for a year or so - when I run out of it, the pain is worse. It doesn't take care of ALL the pain, but it sure helps. Also, I've been getting massages starting with once a week, then easing off to every two weeks, then every month. I need to keep ahead of the pain.
Sometimes I just want to stay in bed.
I've also been walking every day during lunch - about 2 miles.It helps also, but some days I need to force myself to do it.
I find the fibro moves around - right now I've had bicep pain in both arms for about a month. A few months ago, I had TMJ pain for about six weeks and saw a chiropractor for the pain. Eventually it went away, but landed in my arms.
The fatigue is terrible.
It seems never ending. I just want to be free of pain.

I have tried MSM for my Fibro but gave me terrible stomach cramps and the runs, so I never used it again. I seached on the internet and they said it does cause diarrhea so it wasnt working for me....

I just started taking MSM. let you know if things get any better

i started MSM about two wks ago. no side affects so far, no relief yet either. was told it could take up to a mo. to be effective so i'm still hopeful.

I use NOW brand. 2000mg daily
