Yes, and thanks for the thought. She started on a minimal dose (500 mg x 2/day) and it worked some. That's why I was doing the reading/research—to find out what the safe range was. She upped it to 1000 mg x 2/day this week and so far it's working much better. There's still a bit of wiggle room, but we're trying to keep it as low as possible.

I also learned it has some promise for pain—both acute & chronic.
