That's not the PEA I am using. I am taking Palmitoythanolamide (PEA) capsules and and ordered the topical PEA that is now being manufactured in the US. According to another member, it takes a while for the PEA to work. I have been on it less than 2 weeks. I am hopeful. There are many good papers and studies on it, Has been used for years in Europe and the UK as have many of these alternative treatments...Do you know anything about the Calmare machine (AKA "Scrambler")? I've have read some good studies on it and one paper by Thomas Smith from John Hopkins and it is endorsed by him and the Mayo... seems promising. My podiatrist had one. Thanks, Pam

@burningfeetinphoenix - thanks for clarifying the PEA you are using for treatment.

Glad @lorirenee1 connected with you here about the Calmare/Scrambler therapy. Here is another whole discussion on that therapy, if you want to check it out https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/calmare-scrambler-therapy-anyone/

This is written for medical professionals, but here is the abstract of a multicenter analysis of predictive factors of success (or not) for Calmare/Scrambler therapy https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25232861

Are you considering pursuing this therapy?
