1. How much MSM are you taking?
I started with 1,000 mgs and then went to 2,000 mgs. I am now at 3,000 mgs per day.
2. Do you plan to up your dosage?
Yes. I will go up to 4,000 mgs soon.
3. Are you taking it with anything special? (i.e. orange juice, ester C, etc)
I mix the MSM in water and also add Emergen-C, which has 1,000 mgs of Vitamin C, mineral complexes and B vitamins.
4. How much water do you drink in conjunction with taking MSM?
My goal is two liters of water a day. I usually reach that goal or close to it.
5. What form of MSM are you taking? (powder, crystals, capsule, etc)
powder
6. What brand of MSM are you taking?
Trimedica
7. What side effects/results have you gotten from taking MSM?
The first week I felt like garbage and my skin broke out. I almost stopped taking it. But that went away quickly.
At 2,000 mgs I started remembering my dreams.
I used to have a lot of shoulder pain from carrying my daughter in a sling all of the time when she was younger. It's much better now.
I am more "regular".
I haven't been taking it very long, so I am still waiting to see if there is an effect on my skin and hair.
8. Are you taking any other vitamins or supplements?
I take a multi-vitamin, vitamin D, flax oil and carrot juice
9. What was your original reason for starting MSM?
Detox, as a free radical scavenger, overall health, including the health of my skin and hair.

9. What was your original reason for starting MSM? I started taking it to get thicker hair, but the headaches weren't worth it so I stopped. However I liked the way my skin looked while taking it. Smooth looking without having to exfoliate.
wantlonghealthyhair, I didn't notice any drastic texture changes at first. It just seemed my perms lasted longer. But after time (even after I stopped taking it) it seemed my textured changed just a bit. But I don't know if MSM was the cause

I have been taking MSM capsules by TriMedica since June 9. I take 3000mg which makes me take 3 capsules 3x per day. I started taking MSM for my hair. I did have 2 huge bumps pop up on my face early last week but they are now gone!!
I can't tell any differences now except the fact that my stomach will cramp if I don't drink enough water. I try to get in 3 liters daily now! (about 96ounces ). When I run out of the capsules I'm thinking of switching to the powder form based on some many taking the MSM that way.

I've been taking for a little over a month (started May 21st). My new growth feels soft and has a nice sheen to it.
1. How much MSM are you taking?
Between 4,000mgs and 8,000mgs (I rotate every couple of weeks)
2. Do you plan to up your dosage?
I plan on sticking with 6,000mgs
3. Are you taking it with anything special? (i.e. orange juice, ester C, etc)
Since the taste is almost unbearable, I take it with my protein shake meal replacement. It's just vitamin shoppe vanilla whey protein, with strawberries and bananas.
4. How much water do you drink in conjunction with taking MSM?
Not as much as I should
. I drink a pathetic 2 glasses of water most days, more if I'm really trying 
.
5. What form of MSM are you taking? (powder, crystals, capsule, etc)
Powder. I tried the capsules and the liquid about a year ago and didn't notice the same results.
6. What brand of MSM are you taking?
I took Nature's Balance MSM (~3 weeks), then Doctor's Best Powder (~2 weeks). I've just purchased Vitamin World Brand MSM.
7. What side effects/results have you gotten from taking MSM?
New growth that comes in with soft ringlets in the front. The back is more wavy. It's so soft and shiny, and feels so healthy. I was really surprised, but noticed the other day after I went swimming.
8. Are you taking any other vitamins or supplements?
I was taking Biotin (5,000mgs) and Evening Primrose Oil of I remembered. I was most consistent with the MSM over the past month though.
9. What was your original reason for starting MSM?
Fast growth, hopes of extending my growth cycle. I don't know if the rate of growth is any different, but my new growth typically feels rough. It feels better than my texturized/underprocessed parts.

I would try the powder form, it's bitter but I chase it down with OJ really quick so it's not so bad! You can get it from vitamin World, I think they have a website.
