    @Allele What dose of PEA do you use? And do you split dose? I've never heard of this stuff before, so I'm intrigued and may research it when I have the energy. A quick check on Google and Amazon suggests it may be too expensive for me, whatever its benefits.

    Edit : I found a version of this stuff for animals, advertised under the name :

    "Pharmox Dog and Cat PEA"

    The name wasn't appealing for some reason. :D

    :rofl: Arnie Pie you're on a roll today!

    I basically take 1 350mg capsule at night, with a daytime dose when I remember (I often forget my daytime doses of everything, even with alerts, am so forgetty.)

    I have no idea if this works in combo with the other things I'm taking, but the shift was remarkable soon after I started taking it.
    Since it has some action via the cannabinoid receptors, it might be working so well for me bc I also use the raw juice of cannabis (non-psychoactive) which greatly reduces inflammation for me. But if there is or is not a synergistic effect I couldn't say as I am not a chemist or pharmacologist :nerd:

    Oxytocin nasal spray works well for muscle relaxation too.
