fishoil | Arthritis Information

i have some weeks better than others. lately the last couple of weeks i have been taking 6 capsules of fishoil a day and for the last week i have had a lot of pain relief. enough to lower the prednisone. i wonder what effects the rest of you have had with fish oil. i never would have believeda fishoil could help with arthritis, but for the last week and a half that is the only thing different i have done. tell me if fishoil has made a difference for you.cowgirl75,
I had been taking between 4000-6000mg of fish oil for the past year and I think it helped some with the inflammation. But most recently I switched to krill oil and I think it works better for me, and at a lower dose - 3000mg a day. Off the Pred.

thanks mike,

i read a little of the krill, where do you get it, and how were you able to get off pred. i am down quite low and do not have any side effects, but i know its dangers and want off of it completely. it wil be a year in july with this stuff, and it is a year too long.......

Hi all

I have had PMR 6 mths....have come off the pred and now on MTX...what a journey..!!

..am interested in reading re fish oil etc

is there a web site where i can read further?? THANKX

cowgirl75,

I was initially trying fish oil from the Zone Diet, but have switched to krill oil from Mercola.com. They also have a krill oil for women which my wife is taking. I gradually tapered down to 1mg/daily of Pred and then switched over to 200mg/daily of Ibuprofen for about 1-2 weeks and then stopped completely. I advocate exercising, nutrition, and supplements.
To good health!
