Being a guinea pig, I feel as if I a working with out a rope sometimes. My last phase IIb exam is May 9th, hope I have a boat load of MRTC's. Kind of a scary wish if you think about it, and we all know how stress and symptoms seem to be best of friends! The other link got weird, but I believe we saw something similar in the past, forget her name, but she's never been back. I believe that is when I first contacted you.

I am pleasantly surprised at the nmss stance on this.

Although expecting drug companies to buy & hand out another company's medication as the "placebo", and then risk having their own drug look inferior.... hard to fathom.
