Thank-you @elizm it's always exciting to try something new, probably for me just as much as Linda. I mean, it really is so terrific when I am able to hit a home run with something that she gets a benefit from as it's so rare. She is pumped for trying this out. Thanks again. BTW, ever tried Penetrex? Linda has really had good luck with it reducing pain for her (she says about 20-30%) It has a homeopathic and may be similar to Topricin, which we have not gotten to so far. (Penetrex is on Amazon as well - tip: ONLY get the roll-on).
I am also trying to locate a good chinese medicine person in the Nashville area. A while back I saved the bookmark for one somewhere I thought, among the five thousand bookmarks I currently have. I'll find it hopefully. We are interested in the herb you mentioned.
I hope to run across more of your posts. You have a calming way of writing I think. Even my wife was impressed with you. Best to you for now, Hank

P.S. as to finding a good Chinese medicine practioner, have you consulted with Vanderbilt University Medical Center? It has taken a long-time for good regional medical centers to embrace Chinese medicine and practices, and they are still at the beginning of the learning curve. Vanderbilt might have some recommendations on who it has consulted with on the subject when introducing the subject to its physicians.

A note or two regarding the Zhi Bai Di Hwang Wan. Firstly, it is a combination of eight herbs/roots. I took it for about nine months before discovering the PEA so I don't know what it's long-terms effects might be. My oncologist noticed that, while on it, it seemed to raise my hemoglobin for whatever reason. Depending on Linda's current hemoglobin count, this may or may not be a consideration as to whether she gives it a try.
