I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a teenager, I am now 62 and have been in a severe flareup for 9 months.

I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a teenager, I am now 62 and have been in a severe flareup for 9 months. I was taking 400 mg plaquenil, 400 mg celebrex, 20 mg prednisone, and 500 mg of pain killer a day which stopped about 75% of my pain, but after 8 months I had very little improvement in movement and felt like I was just stopping the pain, the underlying problem was not getting any better. I was begining to get desparate since my doctor was going to start reducing my prednisone, whichs was the main drug keeping my pain level down. I came across an article on MSM and thought I would give it a try. I was hoping that in 4-6 weeks I might see an improvement. I started out taking two 1000 mg capsules a day. I was amazed that after one day of taking MSM, I awoke the next morning aware that I felt much better than normal and that my pain was almost completely gone. I am definitely getting better everyday. I even forgot to take my other meds severaly times due to the fact that I was pain free. I can't say if this is going to be a permanent return to a normal life, but in my 62 years of having arthritis, nothing has ever helped reduce the pain as fast at MSM. I am only writing this in hopes that it may help someone else as much as it has me. I was just about ready to give up on life due to the extreme pain I was suffering. My rheumatoid factor was over 750 and my SED and CRP readings were also way off the charts. I have my fingers crosed that this is going to be a cure for my condition, not just a short term gain. My improvement may have been a coincidence with my starting MSM, but after 9 months of relentless pain, for what I experienced the day after starting MSM, I have to bet it was the MSM that stopped my pain. So far no side effects. I will post again in a month to let everyone know how things are progressing.

Being unable to take anti-inflamitory medicines, and in terrible back pain with a lot of spinal problems, I researched this, and am pleased with the relief already!

MSM has been a miracle for me. I took a lot of it for the first 5 days and then decreased my daily dose. Now I take 1000 mg about three times per week. I no longer have pain in my knees or lower back which was previously debilitating. I love this stuff.
