Have had sed rate and CK levels checked and they are normal. My ANA was 40:1 homogenous and my doctor says that is likely due to my autoimmune thyroid and my psoriasis.

Bottom line is, I hurt and the pain moves around. Today it is my shoulder and my knee. Some days it is my hip and my fingers...you get the point. So far, I have been taking advil and sometimes flexeril. But 3 weeks ago i started taking osteo bi flex with MSM for muscles and I felt wonderful. No pain at all. It was like a miracle. Then I developed a rash and found I was allergic to something in the Osteo Bi Flex....possibly the glucosamine, but maybe a filler? Who knows? Now I am hurting again.

Do any of you take a glucosamine with MSM? I would like to keep trying other brands because this was working so well for me. I am 53 and i felt like i was 23 again. I am bummed that my pain is back and I don't know what to try. Any suggestions?

I think I took glucosamine with MSM years ago. And I think it helped. I don't take it anymore and I don't know why. I guess when I ran out that I just forgot to get another bottle. In fact I didn't even remember that I took it and that I was out until I read this post.

On a lighter note I received, in the mail, a sample of the glucosamine called "Move Free". For the life of me I could not figure out why I got a sample of a laxative. Hubby finally read the box and told me what it really was.

Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.

Glucosamine/chondroitin with MSM. It does help me with alot of joint and muscle pain. I take the Sping Valley it is the Generic form at Walmart. I 1st started taking it a couple of years ago for my right knee, it hurt every time I was stooping or bending down it took about a month, but it really helped me. Within 2mos. my knee felt much better. I also have to get another bottle. Take care.
