My daughter has been on prescription pain medication since 9/11/01. I just wrote to her and told her to get some prescription strength fish oil and give it a try. I have a feeling it will make her feel so much better. and hopefully she will be able to ditch those pain meds. They certainly aren't doing her any good.
My daughter sent the fish oil packets I take down to Honduras for my son-in-law's grandmother who was in a lot of pain. They couldn't get a regular supply of pain medication for her. Now if she needs some pain medication it is something like asprin, which they can get.
My doctor said to take fish oil for two weeks and then gradually pull back on the pain medications. I literally gave up one pill at a time over several weeks until I wasn't taking any.
I have been taking fish oil tablets for years & years. It has made my cholesterol levels perfect. The best is Norwegian fish oil, I get it off the internet. Just google. My husband had bad cholesterol & I finally convinced him to try it, and now his is o.k. too. If you can't find it let me know. I'll find the site.
