Hi Kerry, Oh my gosh! I was so relieved to find your thread. I am new to high doses of MSM. First thing I noticed after 2 weeks on 3 scoops a day was that my very painful hip aches were relieved as well as other aches. BUT, then I started having the most horrible nightmare visions. I am dream lover by nature, these dreams freaked me out. I also noticed after my usual evening wine that I had bad headache. next morning headaches felt like a hangover. MSM, being, the only new treatment I had added to my regime. So, I went online and started digging found out some interesting material.
I will way lower my dose and see if the nightmares go away. Don”t really want to give up the wine. (Ha) I had could not sleep, felt like i was on speed. But during the day I feel better than ever. seriously, so much less pain.
thanks
: I have heard of this before on very rare occasions but only during the detox phase of taking MSM. After being on MSM a while, this stopped happening.
: I can not say for sure why it happens. One theory would be that microscopic infections (such as yeast) in the brain are being killed off by the MSM. During initial detox, it could be previous drugs trapped in the body tissues being released. To try to minimize it, I would suggest taking all of your daily MSM as early in the morning as possible, and then drink lots of water during the day to flush out as much as possible before going to bed at night.
: : Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this and why? I swear by this stuff for my fibro and arthritis but I suffer from horrible night terrors (and I mean horrible). When I stop taking MSM for only two days, the dreaming stops. I'm anxious for feedback. Thank you!
