Has anyone tried taking MSM? I buy in bulk online. It is crystallized in form. So it can be mixed in tea or anything warm disolves it. It has helped me with pain. I'm not sure why or how it works, but my mom who is fibro also told me about it. It's very good for muscles and all sorts of stuff. Helps them relax and hurt less. I'm still researching natural remedies. Hope someone on here has some more information to add. :)

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a substance sold in dietary supplement form. Also found in cow's milk and in a variety of foods (including some types of meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables), it's said to treat a wide range of health problems. One of the most common uses for MSM is for arthritis relief.
MSM contains sulfur, a chemical element known to play a role in many biological processes. Proponents suggest that increasing your intake of sulfur can improve your health, in part by fighting chronic inflammation.

It should be noted that sulfur deficiency is very rare.
Uses for MSM
In alternative medicine, MSM is touted as a natural remedy for the following conditions:
Alzheimer's disease 
allergies 
asthma
chronic fatigue syndrome
chronic pain 
constipation
diabetes
diverticulosis
hemorrhoids
high blood pressure 
high cholesterol 
migraines

TMJ syndrome 
In addition, MSM is said to promote weight loss, stimulate circulation, boost the immune system, enhance mood, improve sports performance, and protect against some forms of cancer.
When applied topically (i.e., directly to the skin), MSM is purported to treat skin conditions such as rosacea and reverse signs of aging.

My sister and I take Omega 3 Fish Oil and most days it helps but there are days it does not seem to help as much which could be the weather. Fibro does not affect each of us the same nor do medication and herb supplements it depends on the person what is good for someone else may not be good for you.

I still take MSM at least once a week. You cannot take too much of it. My parents who do not believe in Medicine from doctors see a naturalist healer. A person who specializes in homeopathic ? medicines. Natural medicine. They have both been taking it for many many years now. They have increased their doses because they can tolerate it better. I can take it for a couple days and nwe'd to wait a few days but it does make you hurt less and gives you energy. Both of what I need. My mom has fibromyalgia and so she says MSM works well for her. But, do your research because too much of even natural supplements can do harm for some people. I had told my doctor I was taking it and they looked surprised and said, wow! That is great! Most people don't start taking that until they are a lot older. So yeah, even doctors know about it. Ask your doctor too. ;) The crystal form I get it in comes with a small measuring scoop, so you know just how much you are taking. Love ♡

I take tumeric used to in the powder form with luke water, however there is a capsule now much easier this assists with inflammatory burning. I also use hemp cream for my hands I have rynauds disease.
