Kim, I think MSM might have some anti-inflammatory properties. I
know some people swear it helps them with allergies and with joint
pain. I'm glad you're starting on the antibiotics.
According to Garth Nicolson:
http://www.immed.org/illness/autoimmune_illness_research.html
"We found that about one half other autoimmune diseases (Inflammatory
Bowel Diseases, Sjögren's, Hashimoto's, Graves', Reiter's, Crohn's
Diseases and others) are also associated with mycoplasmal,
chlamydial, and other infections."
He doesn't mention what treatments would be for Graves, so it's
possible they don't know at this time.
You might want to google "Graves disease linked to mycoplasma" and
then "Graves disease linked to chlamydia pneumoniae" to see if you
can find out if there are other legitimate studies on this.
