Hi Lynda, I suffer from Psoratic Arthritis and since I started taking high strength cod liver oil capsules, about 6 months ago, I have to say that I have improved 95%. The specialist at Sussex County was very impressed with the results. Sheila x

I wondered if there were any of you out there that also suffered, My Sister in Law ws diagnosed last September, and has it really badly. She was recently taken off the drugs prescribed by the Hospital as they were making her so Sick & Giddy. She hs been told that once she feels better in herself they will revisit the treatment. I would be so interested to know if anyone has tried complimentary medicine and if any one thing in particular has benefited them. Herbs, Aromtherapy, diet etc It would be wonderful if there were alternative treatment that did not include drugs, but I guess that is too much to hope for. Any information I pass to my Sister in Law, I have told her to discuss it first with her GP. I would be so grateful for opinions, I just want to help her in some way. Lynda
