Fish Oil (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) for Dietary Supplementation "I have severe neuropathy and my Dr prescribed gabapentin. In 3 months I gained 30 lbs and it really didn't do anything for my pain. So, when I went to my cardiologist and told him about my weight gain. He told me it was the gabapentin. He instructed me to wean off of them. Then as I was talking about the pain and he told I had blockages he told me I could try fish oil but I would have to take a lot. He had look on his face which didn't seem too convinced or so I thought. I asked him about how much. He told me 10000 a day. I figured I try it. Since my pain was severe I'd try anything. I wish I hadn't. Took it for two weeks and every time I sweat from anywhere there is a foul fish odor. It's been about a year. It's finally starting to decrease but only by about half. My next hope is activated charcoal to see if it can help. I hadn't been willing to try it because of my medications. So now spring is here and I can get off of some of my pain medications. The cold weather makes it worse."

TheraTears Nutrition (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) "Took proper dosage then had problems of extreme difficulty in urinating. Two months ago I had a procedure that really helped in that department. Now this, on the first night I’ve take it? I wonder what’s in it besides the listed ingredients."

Omega-3 (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) for Dietary Supplementation "I am 55 years old and since taking omega-3 1000mg. I have noticed glowing skin, and my joints are not as stiff. But the negative is tender breast, stomach discomforts such as gas, bloating, and lower abdominal pain. I feel like I am moving in reverse toward menstruation. Why?"

Fish Oil (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) for Dietary Supplementation "This reduced triglycerides big time. Four fish oil pills per day caused digestive issues, but two a day still bring down triglycerides. Nature Made brand worked as well as pharma fish oil."
