Fibromyalgia Nutrition - MSM
One such supplement is MSM or Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. MSM is an organic sulfer which is known to help ease the pain of arthritis and muscle soreness. You can find MSM in cow's milk, meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. You can take MSM in either capsule or powder form and there are some creams on the market. MSM is also known to be a detoxifier. What that means is that it helps to get rid of the bad. When taking MSM, you may notice some initial side effects. This may come in the form of a rash, mild headaches, feeling wigged out, or feeling like you have slight flu like symptoms. Don't freak out though. This is usually just the body's way of telling you that it is getting rid of the bad stuff.... that is the bad stuff that is in your body. What you may feel is that if you start at 1000mg or 2000mg (1 gram or 2 grams) of MSM, but they go away after a couple of days, you can increase the dosage of MSM and get more benefits/less pain.
MSM is a very close cousin of DMSO, so if you would like further help, make sure you ask about DMSO.

- Thank you for a valuable resource. Diet is very important when managing fibromyalgia. Certain foods also aggravate other symptoms of fibro such as the IBS. I used to drink a six pack a day of diet soda, once I quit my symptoms improved a great deal, I rarely need to use a cane anymore.
Take care of your body, it's the only one you have!
