Marilyn, Congrats on your improved labs.

I do take Fish Oil. Recently I tried Eskimo 3 by Enzymatic Therapy and it does not leave me burping for half a day. Now I need to increase the dose. I am taking only 1gm. My heart doctor told me to take 3 gms.

DH is on Omacor which is a prescription fish oil - omega 3 acid ethyl esters - is that any different than non-prescription fish oil?

I was on statins for a short time but they caused muscle pain. My cholesterol was never very bad - he wanted me to take them for the "protective" effect. I am far from convinced that they are as good as the docs have been told by the pharmaceutical companies.

Anne
