Where to begin? My husband was recommended to take DMSO for his very painful joints--which completely works, but has the horrible side effect of bad breath (he used the cream, and we also took the liquid form internally) . After a little research, I learned about MSM which is related to DMSO, and we began taking it. We take anywhere from 4000 to 6000 mg per day (morning, noon, night). We have only taken it for about 2 months, but it helps in so many ways (and doesn't stink! yay!). I would call it a miracle drug--if it were a drug! Not only has it nearly eradicated my husband's joint pains (knee and neck surgery), but it regulated his gut and he no longer suffers from IBS, and he sleeps much more soundly (previously suffered from sleep apnea). For me, I no longer have pain related to PMS (it was very severe, nearly debilitating prior to MSM) and flow is normal; my gut is now regulated as well (used to suffer from constipation); belly bloating is gone and my appetite is normal; all over general pain from inflammation is gone; I have normal energy (used to suffer chronic fatigue); asthma is gone (used to have regular allergy induced bouts and had so use an inhaler, also had exercise induced asthma which is now GONE. I have been exercising and enjoying it because I am not suffering from lack of oxygen! I have not used my inhaler in months, and doubt I will ever need it again!); I am also sleeping soundly and even dreaming again! Both of us have also experienced that our sinus problems are gone (used to suffer constant 24/7 year round allergies, and now we've been free for several months!). And we think that we got sick (going around at work), because we felt like we might be coming down with something for about 2 days, but full blown illness never happened. We just had that "oh no, here it comes", but then were pleasantly surprised when we didn't get sick and were perfectly fine after 2 days. And there's another possible bonus for the ladies: your boobs may grow. I gained a whole cup size within a couple of months, suspected it may be related to MSM, did a little search on google, and found that many ladies have experienced this. I don't think that they will go on growing forever, but I did have a couple of weeks of soreness, a little acne (kind of like a mini and less traumatic puberty, lol), and voila, I was a cup size bigger. Yay for me (new and bigger bras! fun!), and no complaints from hubby. ;) Just be aware that it may happen, I saw online that many women had worried that they had become pregnant, lol. But since that little bout, my skin has been very clear and the itchy dry patches on my arms that I could never get rid of for years with a myriad of products are now gone too. This stuff is amazing and I look forward to seeing how else this supplement works for other people! ***UPDATE*** 3/25/17 Add another cup size to my original post. I haven't been a D cup since I breastfed nearly 20 years ago. That happened very quickly, hubby and I are both very happy (but don't buy too many bras at a time, haha!). Plus I have lost weight, only a few pounds, but hey, considering the girls are getting bigger and I haven't been trying to lose weight, that's pretty cool. ;) No soreness or puberty-like symptoms this time either. Woot woot
