Negative effects of MSM?

Any?
Other than vivid dreams. Thanks for sharing.

MSM can cause breakouts also. Some complain of headaches, tiredness itchy skin and dizziness.

As for me, it gave me cystic acne, vivid dreams and extreme exhaustion, The vivid dreams and exhaustion stopped after the first few weeks and the cystic acne has calmed down a lot after a few months of taking it. I also added Super B Complex and vitamin C and that seemed to help.

The weird thing about MSM is that my skin is much prettier even with the acne it caused. Hard to explain but the complexion is more clear and has a kind of glow to it. It also gave me softer new growth.

Thanks ladies. Some of my hairs are split. Not sure why. Could be the color that I used. Seems like it's always something.

I have not had any problems with MSM. I take it for my autoimmune disease.
(joint and muscle pain associated with MCTD or mixed connective tissue disease)

Irregular periods.

Just started taking them a week ago... I had my first vivid dream last night... It seemed so real. It was just really weird... other than that nothing negative yet.

My period was different- I think it was lighter, which is a God-send for me. I recently started taking MSM regularly again about 3 weeks ago. I'll see how this cycle goes.

Thanks ladies. My hair is a little dryer and I have some splits. Guess msm isn't to blame

Weight gain. I gained 8 pounds and could not lose the weight until I stopped taking the MSM.

What level of MSM are you guys taking? I am starting very gradual - only 500mg - but I have had headaches recently - I had attributed it more to dehydration...maybe I really need to drink more water when taking this...

I only take 1000. I had worked my way up to 2000 and took that for about a week and then I got sick. Now I only do 1000. I may work up to 1500 but will stop there.

My hair vitamin has 750mg. If I take msm separately, I stick to 1000mg's

apart from for my hair, i also take MSM for my rheumatoid arthritis.... the best thing, even better than prescription meds, at least for me.

I also was literally just researching how to make an MSM lotion for eczima

I usually get lighter periods (which I really dont need), glowing skin and generally better health

usually have weird vivid dreams even without MSM, the only negative (but not really)is that I talk more in my sleep.
