Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 and side effects
omega-3
I have talked to a lot of people taking statins and some feel no side effects and others get them bad and right away. I react very badly to them and got off of them several times. My sister reacted the same way when she got on them. One question to ask yourself is why to people with low cholesterol have just as many heart attacks as those with high...that's because cholesterol is not the total picture. Inflammation is.
I am having some pretty severe side effects from 3 years of Cymbalta use. I was prescribed Cymbalta when I was diagnosed with Poly Myalgia. I do think it took the edge off of severe pain and fatigue.
ANyway, I now have a rash that flairs about 12 hours aftyer each pill, and I have had three kidney infections in the last 4 months related to not emptying my bladder completely. I think it is also from Cymbalta. The side effects peak together.
While he was put on a regime of steroids he kept the side-effects to a minimim by practicing a low-carb diet and exercise. I know steroids are not good on the liver and increase the VL. When I was first diagnosed with Hep C I couldn't get a biopsy because my platelets were so low. I couldn't take the steroids because of their reaction with Hep C.
Omega 3 oils by themselves won't replace statins. Doing this the natural way would require a complete program, including diet, exercise, relaxation exercises, and supplements for reducing cholesterol, protecting the integrity of the blood vessel walls, etc.

I would try treating him with herbal meds, but be careful those can have side effects too. Do research and give him flax seed or fish oil but the flax seed is safe as far as I know. It has omega 3s in it to help the brain function.
His symptoms may go away in time if he doesn't have these kinds of medications again.

I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed.
I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.
I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.
About the time I quit taking Neurontin I began taking omega-3 supplements and my libido came roaring back. Apparently omega-3 helps build testosterone which helps the libido. The only side effect to omega-3's we've found in my family is that for my daughter they can cause nosebleeds--if bleeding is an issue for you might want to check with your doctor--otherwise it's an over-the-counter supplement.
At the suggestion of a friend, I recently started taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules. I am also taking high blood pressure medication. Over the past six months my medication has been changed four times as I've had a host of side effects from each medication. Unfortunately, each side effect would occur in conjunction with some other change in my health/lifestyle so it was hard to detect or pinpoint what the cause of my problem was. This recent condition is no exception.
