It seems to reduce the pain from osteoarthritis in my hip.

1433314 2017-03-27 18:20:00 Are you taking it orally?

Very interesting to find it is a supplement in some foods and drinks. For some arcane reason, I don't like to think it's in what I eat or drink without my knowledge and acceptance prior to ingestion.

I'm glad it's working for you and the extensive lab rat tests seem to indicate it's pretty safe. (GRAS)

Still don't like it in my ice cream though

1433315 2017-03-27 19:29:00 Yes, as capsules 1000mg two of each morning, no flavour like you describe. KarameaDave (15222)

Don't trust a nibble of the vege...eat a decent bit to check
Nonsense, what do you think Mother-in-Laws are for? Give them a heaped bowlful and you can sit quietly observing and recording the reaction quite dispassionately. ;)

1433317 2017-03-28 00:51:00 I haven't got a MIL. Son could have, in fact I gave him a container full of the chopped stuff, he ate a chunk and said it was a mild variety. LOL. He's a chilli freak though. pctek (84)
1433318 2017-03-28 01:09:00 KD: "It seems to reduce the pain from osteoarthritis in my hip . "

Not being nosy - but as we age we actually wear things out - like hips, knees, elbows, etc . , and I wonder if you're gonna tough it out and just take the MSM forever or option for a new hip?

I'm looking at a hip replacement after a bit too - but mine was fractured many years ago and it is now raising it's head as I learn to walk correctly with a straight right leg .

My left leg - because of my fractured pubis (1 . 5" offset) and the straightening of my right knee - have elevated my leg-length difference to almost 2 . 5" .

The doc and I have a lot to talk over next Tuesday .

However - I digress - are you a candidate for THR?

1433319 2017-03-28 07:02:00 Eventually Joe, my mobility will reduce and the pain increase to the point that I may qualify
for surgery. My left hip was replaced 10 years ago, now the right one is near failing, but our health system has been allowed to
run down under the right wing government and such ops are tightly rationed, roll on a change of government later this year.

1433321 2017-03-28 07:33:00 You really think people will warm to 'Double Dipton' this time round?

I have my doubts, thankfully.

A right wing government even to the left of Helen's ...
