: I have had R/A for 11 years with no remissions. Three months ago I started taking MSM 6000 mg daily and within a 2 week period noticed a tremendous difference in the pain level as well as my mobility. I am nearly pain free at this time as well as having beautiful nails and soft resilient skin again. This has been a lifesaver for me. I am now walking 1/3 mile and am going up to 2/3 this next week I hope. I also take methotrexate, celebrex, plaquenil, prednisone and a multitude of other supplements, but MSM did the trick

.
Just what is MSM? Is it an over the counter drug or by prescription only? I too am taking all the above medications..plaquenil, prednisone, celebrex, methotrexate, plus supplements.
