I have been doing well, first on cuprimine, and now on zinc, for about 30 years, after having been devastatingly ill for nearly 15. I am currently doing my student teaching late in life toward an elementary school teaching degree.
My question is this: I broke my kneecap into three pieces in August (dog pulled me over on a walk) and after having two screws inserted, my knee is still not right. I was advised by my orthpedic surgeon to take fish oil to help with my recovery, and to prevent serious arthritis in the future.
I currently am searching for a new W.D. doctor, as mine moved his office beyond my transportation abilities, so I have no one to ask about the advisability of fish oil for someone with WIlson's Disease. I have been taking glucosamin chondroitin since my injury, with no one to ask about that, either. No doctor will answer a question if they have not seen you in their offices.
I am abit nervous about the possibility of taking something I shouldn't. At the same time, it is so important to be mobile as a teacher. Does anyone have any information on the compatibility of fish oil or glucosamin chondroitin with Wilson's Disease? My symptoms were neurological rather than liver-related.
