[sunshine008]

hi

so i have been taking omega's 3s purfiied fish oil 1x a day i just increased it to 2x a day.

rumor has it, it can help replace some of the damaged mylien sheath dont' know if i'm spelling it right.

i also changed my diet to alot of fish, cod, salmon etc. and i'm taking tumeric for swelling.

anyone see a difference using omega 3s?

I'm currently taking krill oil and flaxseed oil. I haven't noticed any difference in my symptoms, but I plan on continuing to take both oils because of the research showing they're beneficial for MS.

The fish oil and turmeric you're taking both have blood-thinning effects, so be careful not to take too much. Watch for unusual bruising, and maybe discuss the issue with your doctor or pharmacist.

so, the other two you are taking do not have the risk of that? i dont know why i began the tumeric i think for swelling....

lol gotta love the memory

Yes, the krill oil and flaxseed oil I take [U]do[/U] thin the blood. Some blood-thinning isn't necessarily a bad thing...in fact, for many people it's beneficial.

We just have to be careful we don't [U]overdo[/U] it.

hi i'm taking 400mg once or twice a day as needed. I do find my swelling in my knees particularly has decreased alot.

i am now looking to solve the spascity issue next and just overall legs feeling heavy each day. i can totally deal w/it yet i'd rather not lol.

also i wanted to tell everyone disomin which in europe a script is needed for it is a huge huge benefit to me. i tried it 3 mos ago my circulation has been i'd say 90% better. i ididnt' feel the effects until i hit day 30 than wow it was like night and day.

the name of the product i use is lovely legs. i suggest you all go and get it! i am thinking of increasing my dose for summer because the swelling returned a bit today with the extreme heat of 85 out

Hi sunshine,

Your thread on Diosmin is now located in the Medications forum.

I have taken Omega 3 for the last few years and it seems to prevent me from ever catching colds etc.

What blog was that, [B]heidelee[/B]?

There is no evidence that Maxalife's Omega 3 Fish Oil is "the purest in the world." This sounds like a sales pitch to me.

i also take omega 3. no repairing that i`m aware of. may need to try the tumeric for my swelling. thanks for the tip! a dr once told me that many vitamins and herbs acted as a blood thinnner. (with my memory though, who knows!) good luck. keep us posted.

I just started taking Fish Oil Omega 3. Because I read that taking it can help with inflammation, immune system and heart and vascular health. So we shall see how it goes. This is only my 2nd day.

Also bought Magnesium. Read that to take it at bed time to help me sleep. And also read that it's supposed to help with spasticity and pain. Also constipation, LOL.

I take B12, cuz I did read it's supposed to help the Myelin grow faster. Helps with the Nervous system, proper body function, brain and nerve cells. DR. Perl Mutter said B12 helps formation and function of Myelin during exacerbation.

Now this is from my own research and studying. Nothing is proven. And I have no idea if it will help at all.

Yes, yes and yes. I take flax oil every day. To start, you should tank up on fish oil and then transition to flax. But depending on the type of fish oil, you will need a lot to achieve an immune benefit. You can read here and there are further sources referenced.
