I have a problem with thin skin that will tear easily, my cholesterol is under control and he suggests I simply eat salmon at least once a week, easy to to where I live. Both Plavix and fish oil have been withdrawn. I try and eat salmon I catch or wild, troll-caught salmon, and avoid farm-raised salmon.
Maybe diabetes. I have heard of this as a symptom of it.
I was eating 12 almonds a day, 1 Fish Oil pill, 1 Black Current Oil pill, 1 Softgel multiple vitamin and 2 Tsps. of peanut butter throughout the day along with the 2 Tablespoons of Flax oil prescribed. Is there any other oils I can take to help with dry eye and macular degeneration that won't hurt the heart? I also use hot and cold compresses for the dry eye.
I was having usual symptoms of hypothyroidism - fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, etc. Have been on Levothyroxine for several months now and have seen improvements in all symptoms except hair loss. I'm also on Plavix (due to a TIA), which I understand can also cause hair loss. I started on it shortly before beginning to exhibit thyroid symptons. I've had breast cancer, so can't take estrogen.
Hi I am 38 year old female that on March 14th I woke up that morning with a headache, took 2 ibuprofen and didn't really think anything of it. While cooking dinner I began to see things thru both eyes that I have never seen before this lasted a few minutes. They were like half circles in zig zag shape to the left side of both eyes that also were electrifying looking as if to say like electricity. My left arm and hand began to feel funny almost jelly like and weak.

My question is why does it seem my ejection fraction is getting worse since heart attack on 8/7/2010? This progression is getting me worried that there is a blockage in artery to heart thus damage to the heart muscle is continuing.
The doctor is going to give the defiinitive answer, but in my case, I was told to take Plavix for one year after having a drug-coated stent placed in an artery, and for three months after having a coated stent. I've had both types placed in my arteries in the past three years, in fact eight of them. Some were coated, some were bare metal, but I've just been taken off Plavix as it's been a year since the coated stent was placed.
My husband has hep c and cirrhosis, and currently takes 1760mg of fish oil per day at the recommendation of his hepatologist. It was recommended for him because of elevated triglycerides and was deemed safe even though he has low platelets. Of course, always discuss any medications, including supplements, with your doctor.
I have very dry skin, which has been worse since I've been having thyroid problems - I had been taking flaxseed oil, but the doctor suggested that I try fish oil instead (3000 mg/ day), as it's more easily absorbed. It made a real difference - for the better :-) You should probably ask your doctor, but if they have no objections, it could be quite helpful.
I have tried different brands of fish oil on different occassions as well as my husband. I wished I could take it for the health benefits; but, in our case, it causes digestive upset such as bloating and gas. So, I've replaced fish oil with flax seed oil and we do not experience the gas and bloating we had with fish oil. In my case, I feel much better on flax seed oil, emotionally as well as physically.
