MDJunction to me

Fmsdaddy"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

Does anyone take Lovaza and what exactly is it for?? Google says to break down fat in blood. Once again my husband is hiding it from me and I found it in the back of his sock drawer. I heard him in the drawer taking out the meds this morning. Frustrating he is hiding all of this from me. But when I confront him its a fight.

cyndel,

It's used for high Triglycerides (fat)

All Meds like this carry liver warnings but rarely harm the liver. Many take some form of this especially those with Fatty Liver Induced Cirrhosis.

They usually give it to prevent blocked arteries.

I know you must be frustrated. I can't imagine having to deal with him hiding everything. You have my respect and prayers.
