After a few blood work tests, my primary doctor was concerned that mymy triglyceride triglyceride level was too high. My doctor recommened fish oil capsules. After 3 months, my blood test showed a 30 point drop in my triglyceride.

I started taking Fish Oil December 2014. I have joint pain and swelling of the hands and stomach. Not sure if it is working yet, but, it might kill me first.

Cod Liver Oil (lemon flavored) was recommended for RA pain and swelling. After 1 week of 1 tsp, once a day I had significantly less pain and swelling and more range of motion.

I started using fish oil and after 2 weeks, I developed gout...big toe left foot. Did the fish oil cause gout ? Never had it before....quit using fish oil and the gout went away.

Taking Nordic brand orange flavored fish all. No mercury, contaminants. Very helpful in Cholesterol management and lowering risk of forming blood clots. Full cod liver oil by spoon. Blood test results of hdl and ldl improved. Not just Omega 3 or Omega 3-6-9, but the actual liquid cod liver oil.

My Dr recommended fish oil because I had joint problems as well as hormonal issues. Since using the omega 3's in fish and flax oils I have noticed better moods along with better mobility and less joint pain.

Honestly I haven't seen any changes. i can't find out what it does for me but i have SLE and I was also prescribed Plaquenil. So I'm not sure which one might be working for me cause I started them both at the same time
