This exchange of well-intentioned folk remediew and anecdotal suggestions reminds me of a joke from my childhood, seventy-plus years ago,

Two doctors meet on the street.

MD1: Hi, How are you?
MD2: Not so well -- I have this strange pain in my arm.
MD1: I've got something like that too. What are you doing for it?
MD2: Well, my housekeeper said to put a cold compress on it.
MD1: That's strange; my housekeeper said a hot compress.

Nothing changes! Good luck, Liz.
