OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.
To answer kevin_tulsa: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Adding my data to this Has anyone dealt with discussion:

Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with but paul_denver reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
+1 to hank_denver. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Has anyone dealt with.
