I read about the myofacial pain in two reports on this site, but it seems uncommon to me as well. I think it was caused from starting out at very high doses, which is never wise with anything. What brand of fish oil are you using. I was considering Omegabrite, but I need a high DHA content too, because I am in a depressed state, and need some of DHA's mood elevating properties. I know the recomended amount is a 2:1 ratio of EPA to DHA, but most products seem like a 30:20, with the exception of the Twinlabs, and I suspect they may be using cod liver oil to get the high concentration of EPA and DHA in such a small amount of oil. When I looked up the trademark Seven Seas Healthcare, they were basically a cod liver oil supplier, and cod liver oil is fish oil.
After researching further, I may try a product called Health From the Sun. They specialize in fish oils, and their products have been used in some of the research. They are more concentrated in EPA and DHA. The one I am considering is called Ultra 30/20 Fish Oil™, Health From The Sun, 1000 mg., 90 Capsules
