I've noticed some of you take fish oil and some have even been directed by their RD to take it, and somewhere someone put fish oil in with a list of dmards. I mentioned taking fish oil to my RD and he said be careful to watch for bruising. I don't take a lot- but if it acts like a dmard I would like to try the higher dose. I am on just Orencia because mtx and arava cause me side effects. RD will have me try them again if next mri shows erosions- and I need an alternative!
Can anyone give me specifics on fish oil as a dmard? Thanks!fish oil is not a DMARD it is a supplement that provides healthy omega 3 oils. Omega 3 oils have been shown to help reduce inflammation.
