Loss of oestrogen will result in women being able to produce less long chain Omega 3 DHA [The Omega 3 found in fish oil] from the mother fat in the diet [vegetable sources like flax seed oil].

Arimidex [anastrozole] further decreases DHA production by the body.

The DHA and EPA in fish oil are anti inflammatory. Omega six is a raw material of inflammatory chemicals in the body.

Fish oil has been reported to reduce pain and assist in arthritis. Please see Greek Diet thread.

Please discuss dietary change with your doctor.
