OK. I will try these. My sister also suggested MSM; she suffers with inflammation from an unknown source. Since she's been taking it, she's had remarkable abatement of the inflammation. Do you have any word on it?

Oh, and I have noticed C has a little more of his tics evident; a few facial grimaces and eye movements. That must be the asacol. They first put him on another one, but he developed rashes from it.

Of course any time we're dealing with one doctor for one thing, they don't comprehend anything about the other; it's frustrating to say the least. The neurologst said "sorry to hear that" when we told him about the Crohn's, "so keep giving him the risperdol, clonidine and Lexapro..." Then the gastro-doctor, "sure, he can keep taking whatever medicines he's always been on..." when I asked him about whether some may have helped bring on the Crohn's.

You may not realize this, but you're my hero.

Thank you again!
