Omega3 symptoms and conditions

I am 50, pretty healthy, but have had a new condition of inflamed and severely painful joints and muscles limiting activity. Doc put me on 60 mg prednisone for 3 days, then 40 mg 3 days and 20 mg 3 days. First day was ok. Since then I have been a raving lunatic! I read the post about the person chasing their cat around and had to laugh and relate. I flipped off the neighbors workers because they were backing up a truck and it was noisy! It is all I can do to keep myself in check. I have canceled/rescheduled all unnecessary appointments until next week when I am finished. I "sleep" about 3 hours a night. Last night I peed the bed. I eat constantly. I have to work and concentrate (teach college) and that is so hard. I imagine my students must think I am on meth. I can't take it any more. I have 1 day left and I am not going to take the last one. I hope that this regimen will have calmed down the inflammation and if it recurs I will seek alternatives. AM NEVER going back to prednisone unless it is life or death situation.
Good luck to all those out there who have to take it long-term. Bless your hearts.

The only thing that I have experienced with Tricor is passing gas. And I don't mean now and then, I am talking about the competitive level for some farting contest.
But does it do what it is supposed to? So far, nope.....But then beside the 145mg Tricor I am also on Zocor 40 mg and even with that combo, I am still over 300 Cholesterol, Triglycerides at 1200+.
This is kind of a last ditch effort as I have been on all of the strong Cholesterol drugs. Doctors have been alarmed at my 535 cholesterol level and the 3265 triglycerides - as for HDL/LDL who knows where thats at.
Now, everyone say WOW! then I tell you I have been like this for over 15 years. From Omega3, to extreme high doses of Niacin (the kind that makes you flushed badly), Lipitor, Crestor, and others with some that I took multiple pills - Nothing touches me. (Now 9 different drugs and nothing)
Sugar levels under 120 avg., BP 120/72 or less. As for Muscles, no problem. My only real complaint is the farts 24/7. Yes, even in my sleep.

I also recently had a very bad reaction to Levaquin. After finishing a 10 day course, I had severe joint pain, swelling and then lower back pain. I did take ibuprofen and it helped a bit with the pain, but not the numbness. I also was losing my balance because I had a strange sensation that I was walking with someone else' legs!!! Now, 3 days after I stopped the medication, I do feel relief. This morning I did not have so much trouble walking. I notice that I do have significant burning in my extremities, much more apparent at night and it's very uncomfortable. I will say, though, that improvements are noticable and I do hope others improve as well. There is no doubt in my mind that Levaquin causes very severe side effects. I am also taking antioxident vitamins, Omega3 and folic acid. Good luck--there is some hope. Just forge ahead, try to go through each day without worry about it and try to maintain a regular pace. But DO NOT STRESS YOUR TENDONS as it's apparent from the literature that you can cause permanent damage. Take it easy physically, but don't stop moving. Drink lots and lots of fresh water or seltzer.

i stuffed my last post

Where was I... oh Please.. all of you... INVESTIGATE RECENT RESEARCH INTO OMEGA3...

you will find its a major cause for slow metabolism and depression/anxiety... go get some fish oil suppliments from the local chemis..

Recently a study was done on people admitted to hospital for depression related injurys ... bad so to speak.. 2 lots of 20 people, the first 20 treated with traditional meds 12 remissed back to depression... those treated by raising their Omega3 intake (6g) a day... 1 out of 20 regressed...

I will try to keep you updated how I go.
