572823 tn?1217209089 In 1978, the FDA approved dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for instillation into the bladder as a treatment for interstitial cystitis. Since DMSO is metabolized to MSM by the body, it is possible that MSM is the active ingredient in DMSO treatments (Childs 1994). Snoring: Blum & Blum conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of an MSM-containing throat spray for snoring (Blum & Blum, 2004).
Avatar f tn Hi. I have always been physically active and have never been overweight. There is no arthritis in my family and feel that for most of my life have eaten properly. I have arthritis in my hip.
Avatar f tn Alternative medicine can be very effective for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Avatar f tn MSM is an herbal remedy. Methylsulfonylmethane. It is for joint pain/support, but it also helps regrow hair and is good for asthma, arthritis, allergies and Fibromyalgia. Some people claim that it helps with headaches and heartburn. Doesn't help my heartburn - but does help me with the inflammation from Fibromyalgia.
398377 tn?1201534325 Some of them, yes. Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM found with the "people" meds are fine for dogs. Just make sure to check with your vet on dosages. There are also senior dog foods that contain varying amounts of these ingredients you may want to try as well. You could also check with Dr. Cheng on the Pet Health board here at Med Help for dosages. Does your dog have osteoarthritis or something more serious like hip dysplasia?

Avatar m tn t think that is what you are looking for. What symptoms are you experiencing now? What treatment has the doctor prescribed? What area of your body is effected?
Avatar f tn Can you please tell me what you did, in terms of how often you took what and in what form, to improve your cataracts and arcus senilus? I too have cataracts and wish to reverse the situation. Also, how do you make your own drops? And why not to use lutein , zeanathin and NAC while using the l-carnosine? Can one use astaxanthin? other supplements?
Avatar f tn Let me start by saying I am in pain everyday from head to toe, I am 64 & otherwise in good health. I am currently being treated by a Rheumatologist for cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc disease, osteoarthritis of ankle & foot and Achilles tendonitis. and am not getting much relief. What concerns me the pain which occurs at the base of my head, if I turn my head while lying down, I can hear crackle from that area & pain follows.
Avatar m tn I have severe osteoarthritis in my left hip and am looking at a hip replacement down the road. I have prescription IB profen and hydrocodone but very rarely have to take anything for pain. I firmly attribute this to take Triple Flex which is glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM. You have to take it for 6 to 8 weeks before it really starts taking effect. A lot of people expect it to work immediately and do not give it the amount of time it needs to work.
Avatar m tn I'm 74 y/o and have had osteoarthritis in my fingers of both hands for many years. Right hand ring finger swelled up at the middle knuckle with lots of pain when cutting things with a knife, shaking hands, unscrewing lids. The pain is on the sides of the knuckle, not the top, so that would seem to rule out a tendon problem. Ibuprofen or Tylenol don't seem to be of much help. Is there any procedure to relieve the pain, I'd rather not get into narcotic type pain meds?
Avatar f tn Yes. Use Brite Eyes III eye drops and MSM eye drops. This is what Europeans do. I have had enormous improvement in my cataracts. I was told I needed cataract surgery. After one year on this regimen I did not.
Avatar n tn Dear Allmymarbles could you please suggest which of MSM is better form y problem? i have checked at www.ebay.com but there are a lot of http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=pure+MSM&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.
Avatar m tn Is it true that if you take MSM it will help reduce scaring? I have a pretty bad scab from a chemical burn and wondering if i should go get some...
Avatar n tn Hi it is my first time ever posting on a forum, i need help and advise as to the best way to get help and treatment for pain that im in.
Avatar f tn Treatment of Osteoarthritis consists of exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modification, medication and other interventions to alleviate pain. If these fail then you go for surgery. Joint replacement surgery may be required. Individuals with very painful OA joints may require surgery such as fragment removal, repositioning bones, or fusing bone to increase stability and reduce pain.
1295500 tn?1272459927 Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are good supplements for maintaining joint health, but they are not curative substances. Your dog could be suffering anything from simple arthritis; to hip dysplasia; to a pulled muscle, tendon or ligament; to a ruptured spinal disc; a tumor or cyst in a bad place; or any number of other issues. She's obviously in pain, so get her to the vet as soon as possible.
Avatar m tn Some years ago I tried the carnosine drops for a short time and there was improvement. However last year, when I started the treatment in earnest, adding the MSM drops, the results were more dramatic. I don't know anything about your situation, but there are specialists at Life Extension (Brite Eyes III) you can discuss this with. I had occasion to contact them recently with a specific question and one of these specialists called me back.
Avatar n tn [6] Multiple reports have identified clusters of acute hepatitis C infection among men who have sex with men (MSM), primarily MSM who are also coinfected with HIV.[7,8,9,10,11] When comparing the risk among MSM with or without HIV infection, the risk is significantly higher among MSM with HIV infection.[12] Recent cohort studies have also shown a high rate of HCV reinfection among MSM living with HIV, with risk of reinfection associated with ongoing sexual practices and/or injection drug use.
1069378 tn?1255215132 Has anyone used acupuncture successfully to eliminate the pain from osteoarthritis? Does anyone know which treatment has had more success treating the pain of osteoarthritis, acupuncture or synvisc injections? Any help is appreciated.
Avatar f tn From what I've experienced having osteoarthritis of my lower back and degenerative disc disease plus a whole bunch of other non-autoimmune conditions since I was in my late teens, the best help you are going to get is from a doctor of Rheumatology who believes in and treats Fibromyalgia. He or she can test you for a whole slew of other illnesses to rule anything else out and then treat your chronic pain until it becomes to much for you to deal with.
