When you say "spots", are you referring to locations in your body (joints) where you are experiencing inflammation and swelling?

How much fish oil are you taking? I think the normal dose is a tablespoon, how much did you have to increase the dose?

Have you tried Cod Liver oil instead?

Are you taking any other vitamins regularly?

RA creates a sort of skin rash for most (all?) people. If you google image search you will see what I mean.

I would suggest focusing less on the "how much volume" and rather more on the "how much DHA & EPA". Dr. Rhonda Patrick suggest 4g per day though.

Personally I was doing 2 teaspoons during that time and continue to do so today - liquid version (they also make capsules).

As for Cod - it looks like Carlson Cod has DHA and EPA but I personally use the "Very finest fish oil" one.

The one thing according to Dr. Patrick is that the plant based versions just don't work the same.
