Flax seed oil and Lupus

I dont know if I have Lupus, but what ever it is I find it very painful. My joints kill me and I have swelling as well. I started taking flax seed oil about a week ago as I had researched it and it said that it helped with RA and Lupus along with a few other things. As of yesterday my hands were not swelled or my feet. This morning I woke up and I didn't have any stiffness in my hands and my joints are barely tender to touch this is the first relief I have had other then when I take pain meds which I hate to do in as long as I can remember. I was wondering are any of you taking this and did it help you? LMG

P.S. I has also really curved my appetite.

Interesting. I didn't hear anything about plax seed oil and lupus before. Does anyone know if there are any drug interactions, such as with coumadin? Sounds like something I'd be interested in trying. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Flax seed oil and Lupus

Sam,
I don't think so because it is oil naturally found in vegetables. But I would double check with a doctor to beon the safe side. I tried other omega three like fish oil, but flax seed oil is amazing. There are different types so look into it a bit. I take it by the teaspoonful (it tastes like motor oil mixed with drano) (not that i've ever tasted either, but it is very gross). However, you get used to it. If you don't like the taste you can buy capsules at any drug store. I take the capsules when traveling. They're much more expensive though, and you need to take a lot to get to two tablespoons a day. Anyways the first week or so after taking it, you'll get stomach aches and stuff, but after that it really makes you feel good all around. (It also can cause some weightloss in the beginning because it helps clean out your body and stuff, a good natural laxative.) But of course I would as always follow this info up with a good ole doctor! Good luck! It's called flax seed oil, any health food store would know about it.

Re: Flax seed oil and Lupus

After I read your 1st post I went out and bought flax seed oil in gelcaps. I just read that you take the liquid form. How many mg. is in a tsp.? I'm just curious to see if I'm getting enough.
