MSM -has anyone tried for Arthritis?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Maine Coon Cats : One Thread

My 8 yr old Maine Coon has arthritis. He's on cosequin but I have to limit it due to diarahea flare ups. Someone mentioned the new "wonder" drug MSM Methyl Sulfonyl Methane as an alternative for pain relief. Has anyone tried it on cats. It is natural and apparently humans and animals both have been using it for years in Europe. I would be curious to learn if anyone has been using it and their successes and failures.

I don't know if you're interested, but I have had great success with controlling my Maine Coon's arthritis with acupuncture.
