MSM

Post by calguy »

Was doing some reading at the health food store and found a lot of info on MSM(methylsulfonylmethane) which is used to support joint flexibility, cartilage and there are claims it helps digestion and inflammation. Has anyone had any experience with MSM? Was going to give it a run and see if it helps.
Age 32, onset 32 Onset Aug 07- frequency was main problem in the beginning-really bad. Now 1 to 2x per night when frequency flairs up. Sore and tight lower abdominal muscles. Occasional burning after bowel movement and full feeling. What helps: Healthy diet(this is huge for me) Started drinking super greens supplament and almost going totally vegetarian to get body more alkaline, starting Prosta-Q, quercetin/zinc tablet in morning helped frequency problem I believe. Massaging abs and doing stretches helps calm down frequency when it is acting up. Wine or vodka after long day. Flexeral and melatonin at night. Swimming and light weights. .5 of Elavil every other day helps with frequency and healing process. Trying to stay positive and not stressing over this!

I've used it both internally and topically but couldn't tell you how it helped, with everything else being used at the same time.

Did my back a world of good! I had already cured the chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome when chronic back pain set in but MSM started to improve after 2 days.
