I PM'd Donna about my "problems" yesterday. I am facing knee surgery in May and I have some long ongoing nerve issues that I'm just getting a diagnosis for. I can't avoid the knee surgery but all the other pains being eliminated, could give me a whole new quality of life. I would be interested in hearing more about the fish oil deal. Thanks.

Not trying to hijack, Donna. Sorry. I hope this will give us all something to try.
D&D,
I have been told that if you take fish oil tabs in very high doses, it can cause one to have a fishy odour.......but very high doses tend to be taken by those people who believe that the more you take, the more benefit you get....which is untrue. In fact....what you are trying to do is balance out Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6 fatty acids, so you really don't have to have a heavy dose. I remember when I was taking it....only about two capsules a day.....which is a pretty light dose. But remember, if you are on ANY other kind of medication, then check with your local doctor first, to see if it's ok to take those Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules.
They worked really well for me......I wasn't on any other medication....so I just bought them at a health shop, followed the recommended dosage, and popped them for a couple of months, and I don't have any more pins and needles or pain. It was actually a doctor, who was the wife of one of my mates who told me about it.
Here's a link for you.............

Do some searches for yourself on the net.....Omega 3, fish oil, osteoarthritis, etc etc.
Hope you can get some relief from this.
