@noodleann. Have you searched in the wellness forum? That's where posts like this usually go.

I searched all the forums for Palmitoylethanolamide and came up blank. If someone misspelled it, I'd miss it, of course. I thought posting it in Community would net more eyeballs, since some here may not visit Wellness but still know about PEA. I'm a little leery because it seems like a "too good to be true" nostrum, but with a white coat endorsement, I'm game.

@noodleann @Read the link to the scientific review of all the research on PEA. The review discusses all the research any professional would turn to so why look anywhere else.

@Mindy D , in this case I was looking more for personal and anecdotal experiences. I don't expect big med to  endorse this because it's not a big pharma production so I don't put a lot of weight in the studies. As someone who had a great response to a medication being considered for use for some MS symptoms, a med that didn't pan out in studies (so no on-label indication and consequent insurance approval), I know that things can work for some and not others. I'd like to be one of the some. I was hoping to hear from others. That's all.

Granted these are case studies but the patients presented here were able to get decent relief from the supplement. It's not over,h expensive like some meds and there doesn't appear to be any drug interaction or major adverse effects so I'm willing to buy a bottle and see.
