Neuropathy

Last Updated Oct 2007


Q: I have neuropathy, which I developed 15 years before I was diagnosed with mild diabetes. I take Metformin daily. I also have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, both of which are well controlled by medication. I am 63 years old, overweight and don't exercise. Partly the lack of exercise is due to the neuropathy pain. I take Nicomide and Cymbalta for the neuropathy. Which of the fish oil supplements should I take?
 
Thanks, Dale
 
Dear Dale,
 
A: I would always start with OmegaRx at the recommended dosage for 30 days. Based on your description of your current health, I would recommend about eight capsules per day. After 30 days, replace one OmegaRx capsules with one EicoRx capsule and continue the same overall capsule usage for another 30 days. If you don’t see any indication of a spillover effect, then slowly keep increasing the amount of EicoRx capsules as you subtract an equal amount of OmegaRx capsules.
