I cut back a little this past week to 4000mg 2x daily cause I was starting to have pains in my side (like cramps you get from running). Now I feel great! I've noticed that my lungs feel incredibly clear....I think I might go workout to see if it has made a difference workout performance. I'll report on it later.

I was thinking about taking this after i stop nursing my son. But i'll be on birth control and i read some posts where taking MSM messed with their cycles. I wonder would it mess with my birth control.

It messed my cycle up too! I know that it was the MSM because it was the only supplement I was taking. I had to stop taking them because of this problem. Now I take GNC UltraNourishair and It does have MSM but not enough to mess up your cycle.

I'm so happy I finally read this thread. I've been congested and sneezing (6-8 times in a row) for the past couple of days. Before my nose was running like crazy and my head felt like it was going to explode 
. I thought I was getting allergies (I've never had any) and started taking Nyquil. I'm glad to know my body is detoxing. I've just quit smoking so maybe it'll be harder for me. Thanks for sharing ladies, without this thread, I would be on the way to the doctor.
BTW, my skin is doing much better. I was just taking MSM for my hair, and I noticed my skin was peeling, but I thought it was the dry winter air. I was studying my face and my skin looks much smoother and different somehow, I thought I was imagining it, but all I can say is WOW!

I was massaging my scalp earlier, and it is soooo sore. I think it's the biotin causing the tenderness. My now feels the way it usually does after taking down braids and detangling. If my past experience is any indicator, that means it's getting ready to shoot out of my scalp at record speed.
but I am loving what is happening with my face. I will be excited to see if the hair on my head is growing...

If you mean me, it's from taking the powder. I started with 1/4 teaspoon per day on March 1 which is 1500 mg according to my bottle. I increased it to 1/2 teaspoon a few days ago (3000 mg). I posted more info in the Skin Care section too in CantBeCopied's thread.amorette said:
My scalp is still sore from the new growth. It started out on the back of my head almost right away. Now it's still my crown. I like this kind of soreness.

I started taking a single 1000mg capsule (GNC) a day a week ago. Today I started taking 2 capsules daily. How often are you ladies going up in dosage? I also take 2500mg of Biotin daily. I have not felt scalp soreness, but my crown sure itches a lot. Anyone else get itching?
I have experienced a white head on my face which I have never had before along with slight face peeling.

My dosage are up to 8750 mg per day.
I have not felt any soreness of scalp, itching or face peeling. I do have gas out of this world. Actually not as bad as before.
The pores of my face are tighter and my complexion has evened out nicely.
What is the amount most take before feeling the punch in the side??

I did some research on this MSM and flatulence. Here is what I found out....
Although you are doing all the right things, part of detox can be because your body's waste management has not been doing all it should be. By starting to give it what it needs to process and eliminate the wastes, you can still be thrown into detox. Bloating and gassiness can indicate parasite die-off (even if they are microscopic parasites).

I know that taking vitamins are good for the body esp. hair vitamins because they contribute to hair growth and strength but as I am reading some posts I am worried that some of you guys may be taking way more than you need to. Don't some vitamins cause adverse effects when you take too much of it? Anyway, if I kept taking a vitamin and having constant scalp itching, missed or late periods and cramps I would definitely decrease my dosage. Not to offend anyone but maybe you're taking too much MSM.

I started out March 1 taking just 1/4 teaspoon each day of MSM (1500 mg) and my scalp got sore rather than itchy right away. I know from experience this was indicating new hairgrowth. A few days ago I increased my dosage to 1/2 teaspoon daily (3000 mg) and so far so good.
I do agree if my body or cycle was affected in a negative way by MSM, I would stop taking it. But my body, skin and hair (nails too!) are loving it so far.
