I hightailed it and got my diet back on track (not loosing weight but eating properly) and watched for the triggers of stress. Still under a lot of stress but managing it better. You need to take time for yourself and regroup...at least I've learned that. 
I had a girlfriend who was doing the fish oil and something else. I'll have to ask her and get back with you. She swore by it. It was another vitamin type. I'll check with her and let you know. |

Oklay, the other stuff my girlfriend was taking is Flax Seed. She said that there was no medical prescription or anything from the doctor about this but she started taking these 2 things--fish oil and flax seed and her cholestrol went down and her good stuff was up. Her son is into herbal stuff and she has followed his advice for a number of remedies. Good luck!
