How Can Restrictive Lung Disease Be Managed?
Hi I m 75 years old, about 80 pounds over weight, type 2 diabetic, restricted lung function, post heart surgery 2 years ago and really not enjoying my Golden Years that much . Would taking Krill oil make a significant difference in my health? I m taking a lot of prescriptions right now. The Question: Spend what little money I have on Krill Oil or decent casket?

Hello,
Corticosteroids are the first-line therapy but are associated with myriad adverse effects. Corticosteroids, the most commonly used drugs, halt or slow the progression of pulmonary parenchymal fibrosis with variable success.
In my opinion, you can use the Krill oil but first, consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
