Fish oil

Has anyone had success in reducing NSAID intake though the use of high dose fish oil? I think I will ask my rheumatologist about this. I would like to cut back or eliminate NSAIDs but I haven't been able to so far.

There is a lot of " fake" information out there about fish oil. Here is a scientific view on the effects of fish oil.

I was on Nsaids for a long time and tried different nontoxic ways to wean off. Now I take LDN, CBD oil and aspirin and no longer need other pain relievers. The benefits and therapeutic effects of aspirin cannot be put in the same catagory with other nsaids.

When I was first diagnosed my Rheumatologist suggested I take Omega 3 fish oil. You may find this article from Arthritis UK interesting.
