Question 1

will msm & multivitamin with biotin stop and reverse hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Biotin if a vitamin that promotes hair and nail growth and can help people with hair loss.  Not sure what msm is can you elaborate?

Question 2

can msm supplements cause weight gain ?

Accepted Answer

No: Weight gain is not a side effect of msm supplements.

Question 3

performed oral sex msm (man 2 months prior was negative) i decided to test out of caution about 3 weeks after. i came back negative. its been a year and did not get any symptoms, sores or rashes after the test. do i test again? anxiety is bad?

Accepted Answer

: You don't mention whether you had any symptoms or what test or tests you had done. For peace of mind, I recommend going to a men's sexual health clinic for evaluation and advice. Any appropriate testing will be ordered.

Question 4

whats the best glucosamine hci , chondroitin sulfate and msm product out there for athletes?

Accepted Answer

See below: In my opinion (and not necessarily based on any head-to-head studies), i feel that osteo bi-flex and cosamin ds are two of the highest quality glucosamine and chondrotin products. There are very few studies that demonstrate a benefit from msm, so i personally do not endorse its use.

Question 5

what can you tell me about triflex (glucosamine, msm, chond.) supplements? are they all equally effective?

Accepted Answer

Not proven drugs: These drugs individually and separately have not been proven to benefit arthritis even though often taken. There is limited but unconfirmed evidence they help some joints, but there is not uniform agreement.

Question 6

my current pcp does not acknowledge me as an msm. how can i find lgbt-friendly pcps that are in-network for united healthcare?

Accepted Answer

Tell them: Surely your PCP will &quot;acknowledge&quot; your sexual orientation if you tell about it. If you cannot or don&#x27;t want to, an excellent source probably is your nearest NHS GUM clinic. (I think I saw you&#x27;re in UK, right?) They likely know nearby doctors who are sensitive to alternate sexual lifestyles and knowledgeable about their special health care needs. Or if in London, try Freedom Health Clinic.

Question 7

i received oral in an msm situation and tested negative for chladmydia twice. would this also rule out lymphogranuloma venereum?

Accepted Answer

: Chlamydia, incluidng LGV types, is rarely transmitted by oral sex. You didn't need testing, but the negative results are reliable. (I hope you were also tested for gonorrhea. That's the main STD risk from receiving oral sex among MSM.)

Question 8

my doc.prescribed me that i should take 1500mg of glucosamine,but i ran out of procosa.. can i take krklnd  glcsmine,chndroitin and msm 300tablets?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These are very comparable products. Best wishes

Question 9

is it okay to use msm cream for scars?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Silicon based ceam or pad can reduce the prominence of keloids or scar formation.

Question 10

whats the likelihood of testing positive weeks after testing negative at the 3 week mark for an std panel. was oral sex (msm)?
