Glucosimine

[rg11]

Has anyone ever tried Glucosimine Chronditin MSM supplements?

Hi rg11

I have personally never heard of these supplements before.

From the very quick research I did it seemed to me that it is more for arthritis sufferers than Fibro peeps.

Having said that anything that helps with the symptoms of Fibromyalgia is well worth looking into.

I will read up some more about it.

Just out of interest where did you hear about it? Are you trying it yourself?

Hi...I took Glucosamine and chondroitin for many years for arthritis, but my GP told me if it hadn't helped within 6 months not to bother!!!! So I came off it and didn't feel any the worse!! Don't be put off trying though, it may help you....xx

I used to be given glucoseimine by my GP for osteo arthritis but it was stopped. NICE who decide what drugs are available on the NHS decided that there wasn't enough evidence to show they worked. He never prescribed the Chronditin as he felt I was on so many meds. that one would be a step too far. The cheeky devils sent me a letter telling me what dose I was on and where to purchase it if I wanted to carry on a buy it myself!!!!

My husband took this as a combo tablet for his arthritic knees. It was quite good and helped his pain but he has a weak back and felt it was making the discs slip more easily and giving him more problems so he stopped.

I take enough tablets already, I don't want to take more!!

Thanks for the rrsppnsrs. Was told it would take around 4-6 weeks before I start to notice any significant difference in pain levels. Only took 1 yesterday but was really drowsy a few hours later and then could hardly sleep at night. Still drowsy even this morning.

Hi rgogarty

I have tried that supplement and sorry to say that it did not help me, but each of us are different especially where meds are concerned what works for one doesn't for others. Have even tried Rosehips and again did not work have heard that Cummin is supposed to help a lot of athletes use it.

Keep smiling

Love & Hugs

Hi rg11

I tried this many years ago and my GP stopped it as it affected my breathing. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck my friend and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you
