Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Eileen hope things goes good for you tomorrow at the Doctor's office. I didn't get a chance to call my Doctor today but will in the next few days. What is Krill Oil??? I have never heard of it. Joy L Subject: Re: [bronchiectasis (Eillen)To: bronchiectasis Date: Sunday, May 22, 2011, 1:49 PM 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. EILEEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi Joy, Well it's confirmed, I have osteoarthritis in my hands and tennis elbow in the right arm. She gave me a 12 hour patch to wear on my right arm and Voltron (sp. ?) gel as a topical rub. She also gave me a sample of Vimovo a new anti inflammatory which contains Nexium to combat stomach pain (Hiatus Hernia). If it's effective, I can fill the prescription. Go to http://altmedicine.about.com/od/herbsupplementguide/a/krilloil.htm for explanation of Krill Oil. I'm at work and just started a coughing spasm......have to go.
