Re: [bronchiectasis (Eillen)

Eileen, I was reading the directions on the bottle this morning and it concerns me about starting this without contacting my Doctor. I am on Hydroxchloroquine. The RA Doctor wanted to put me on prednesone but the lung Doctor said no. I am having a lot of pain in my fingers today, some are swelled up a lot. My lung Doctor said because of the conditions my lungs are in I am very limited to what drugs I can take. I am going to try and reach him tomorrow. I am also looking for a RA Doctor closer to where I live. I have only seen one RA Doctor and that was at the Mayo Clinic. I really didn't care for him, he didn't explain nothing to me or didn't seem concerned. He told me to come back when I made appointments to see my other Doctors at the

clinic. I did have ex-rays done and that showed I had RA in the fingers, wrist and elbows. I couldn't believe this could hit me over night. `My left arm is worse than my right. One day I couldn't get my left arm above my waist I have trouble waking up in the night with pain and then I can't go back to sleep for hours. I have been taking the fish oil tablets too. I was hoping that would help with the Sinus problems. Please take care and reply when you get an extra minute. Joy L

Hi Joy,

I also had to stop the Krill Oil which also helps reduce joint pain. In addition I take 7000 units of Fish Oil daily which I also had to stop. I don't know if Fish Oil also helps with joint pain, but I do know that it keeps my triglycerides down to a low of 114. My Primary stated that very few people have such a low number.
