Hope this works for you! Keep us informed. I was given a message from a neurosurgeon to take double doses of Omega 3 Fish Oil - now everything I eat tastes like sardines, but I am willing to give it a try.

I have been told that all us pcs sufferers should take fish oil but I also was told that its best to begin taking it right after the concussion. Something about free radicals causing more damage. Of course, I did not know this until much later b/c most of the doctors I saw are dumb about pcs.

HI - I have tried the fish oil - Omega 3 I think it is called. Didn't help me, (at least I didn't grow any scales - ha ha!) I have now come across some herbalist through a friend of a friend, who's mother is a naturopath in the UK who has come up with something and is sending it out to me - I will do some research on it and let you know how that goes - I guess you just never know!

Yes I know what you mean about the barf of fish. Get Natures Bounty Oderless Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fish OIL.
I take about four tablets a day and no fish oil belch or breath. You can check at Walgreens and also at Wal-Mart and they should have it on the shelf. Also look into EEG Bio Feed Back to see if they can offer some help in retraining the brain to work better and get you on the road to a normal life. Hope this helps, I am in my thrid year, fourth month of recover from the auto accident that occured seven years ago. |

Thanks Mark, I will look for the Natures Bounty fish oil. I had given up on it and switched to flaxseed oil because it was aggrevating my acid reflux - my only health complain before getting hit by a car (okay, maybe some aches and pains in the old joints from overuse, ha). I hope you continue to improve with the bio feedback. I might look into that if I am not recovered by the one year mark.
