Well tried it for a bit and couldn't really tell so it fell by the wayside. Fast forward to this morning.
My aches and pains are pretty bad at the moment, I'm waiting for a second MRI before they work out whether to cut me up, and I was in the cupboard looking for Ibuprofen (all out!) and all I had was amitriptyline and the MSM.
An hours drive to work, in pain? I'll try the MSM again. Slapped a heaped teaspoonful in a glass of water and drank it down.
Got to work and realised, no pain....no pain!! about triple the dose seems to work. I've topped it up through the day and it's still working.
I'll give it a week and report back
It kept one old mare going for more than three years. I was under the impression that it was a herbal remedy.Not sure MSM counts as homeopathic Steve, as the flakes & tablets I buy are undiluted and full strength. However as long as it assists me you'll understand that I'd happily even accept it as a placebo. And I bet, if they could, your old horses would be as gratefull as this old ass is for any relief they get.

Unless you lift your tail, kick up your back heels and fart for Britain when you finish your dinner, then yes, the resemblance ends there.Yeah, it's a natural nutritional supplement supplying biologically active sulphur accoding to papers I've read online. I just know that, like your old mare, it's keeping my knees going. ( And there, I devoutly trust, the resemblance between the mare and I cease ).

There are some studies linked to on the Wikipedia page for MSM.We give it to our old horses. I suppose it could work for old Brits, too (and the O-man is even older than I). The problem is that any relief if purely anecdotal, as there haven't been any published studies that show any efficacy from homeopathic therapies.
