well taken it for 30 days is it helping well hard to tell as been on ibuprophen as well for most of the time. but swelling much less only had one really bad time and that was over doing it. will keep taking see what happens have stopped ibuprophen now so will see which it is helping joints do feel less stiff so fingers crossed val

    Got my fingers crossed for you val that it is the omega 3 that is making the difference and not the ibuprophen. Keep us informed.

    (are these omega 3 tablets or are you just buying food rich in omega 3?)

    I believe that it can help some people valval, but thirty days could be a little early as yet. I was always told three months, so keep it up for a while longer: even if it doesn't help the joints it will help the brain! My fingers are crossed that it does make a difference for you. DD

    Hi Val,
    I know I should do fish as well but I'm a veggie...I know a lot of people think veggies eat fish or they eat white meat but I dont eat anything with a face on it LOL :lol::lol:
    It is supposed to be 3 months for tests on this sort of thing but I think one month and some results is great.
    If the pain gets bad again start SOME Ibroprufen again...Or maybe back to the full dose, and cut them down bit by bit until the omega gets into your body properly......I would say that if taking those meant you could take less Ibrop. then RESULT ...even if you didnt stop it completely

    Love
    Hileena
