HI
I have taking Omega 3 fish oil for 25 years 6 gms a day. If I flare which is rare I increase to 8gm per day. It was a rheumatologist group in KIngston ,Ontario Canada that did a study then and I took part in it. In six weeks the swelling in all my joints settled down. It didn't stop the SI pain, and thoracic pain, but sure settled the pain down in my feet.
Janet I think I need to up my omega 3's. I should be taking 3000 mg a day, usually i get half of that. the pills are so big, hard to take! does anyone think it really matters the source of the omega 3's: fish oil, flax, borage, etc. or is borage different from the flax and fish?
