Yes, it will be nice to have a positive .... it only took the tech 4 sticks to get those 13 tubes of blood out of me today! I was happy to see the new consent forms with fewer blood draws in the new trial! Thank YOU whoever!!Lyon wrote:It will be nice to see the positive result!av8rgirl wrote:If I am once again negative then I wait another 90 days to be retested, if I am positive then I get the procurement visit scheduled!!!

I was originally schedule to receive my first OLTERMS shot on 10/18/08, but hurricane IKE delayed that. I am now scheduled to receive my first shot Friday 10/24/08 at 1:30pm. I am continuing with this study, going to ride the bull till the buzzer rings!
Diagnosed with MS in Feb. 14 2000! Was a Tovaxin guinea pig.

I received a phone call from my IIb trial site coordinator. She told me that I was on placebo during the trial and wondered if the injections (I've had 2) in the extension study were doing anything. I let her know that I don't notice any difference yet. No better but no new symptoms. Maybe there will be a difference after the next shot on 10/7. The 100 day club is still about 6 weeks off.
My coordinator said that Opexa will need to complete another stage 2 trial before moving into stage 3. She feels that Tovaxin may turn out to be a great treatment for the newly dx'd with RRMS and especially for those newly dx'd at a young age.
I told her I would continue in the extension study to see myself through the series of injections especially since I was on placebo for all that time and would make a decision at that point on what my next step will be.
Have any of you all heard similar info from your trial sites?

I hope the news is traveling West fast! I've not heard a word except that I have my next appt scheduled if I don't convert. It's Jan 7th. Otherwise, status quo.

i received the WHOLE shebang straight from my trial site neurologist; mri results, the placebo or drug revelation, and a strong recommendation to stop before things get even worse. this came on the same day Scott called me to schedule a procurement!!! to say i was shell-shocked by all this would be an understatement of the century. i'm still trying to process everything and decide how to proceed forward in treating my damn ms. sometimes life is real funny that way...
