Oh yes, Best of luck with round #2 sugarmomma. Thanks for the post! I am gaining back my optomism about the trial!!

Thanks for the tip and the ray of hope. Best of luck to you and Merry Christmas!! I think my Campath journey will start within the next 60 days.

I just got back from my pre-trial screening. The site I am looking at is in the final stages of hopefully getting approved. I should know by next Monday latest. A lot of things concerned me about the site and trial. I would be the 1st participant at this site. That means possibly not as much experie...

I am going for the trial like a bum on a baloney sandwich. No pain, no gain?! I just waffled a bit.....

As Bob said -In a lot of ways this is a "no guts no glory/no pain, no gain" decision. Is that where you're at mentally?

This is where I am mentally. I am going for it. Thanks to all those who post for the support. Hopefully I'll start SOON.

I hope to start Campath trial shortly, but after reading some of the stories here I am not as optomistic about that. Hello Cheer and AC - just to clarify - I am not pesimistic about the Campath trial, just not as optomistic as I was once I found that I likely will be on it. I just read some real ro...

Well 2008 has been an unusually crappy year for me. A severe fall and head injury, wicked vertigo for over 6 months now, optic neuritis in both eyes, balance and gait problems, and now a new gift from the MS grinch of the holidays... right arm numb from the elbow down and some loss of function in ri...

My advice is to save your $$. That is only my personal view, but health fraud comes to mind.

Wow, that sounds terrible. I has somehow missed this post. I am due to start the phase III trial for Campath shortly. Now I am more scared than ever. - Fudge

Legal issues aside - I believe I am an outlier as MJ makes me almost instanly worse and unable to function even more than before. I get tremor and almost imediate balance issues. I even had a "friend" speculate that the MJ caused my MS - Arshole he was!. Anywho I will not participate in an...

Shortly after MS diagnosis and onset of major symptoms I became really depressed. The interferon and the MS both are known for that effect. I had some really dark days where I just wanted to take a permanent dirt nap. I started some therapy and meds which seemed to help. Now I am entering a new phas...

If the FDA speeds the approval process and then problems surface once the drug is on the market they are to blame. If they take time to fully evaluate safety and efficacy and that delays a potential treatment they are to blame. It is a balancing act for the administration. I know that for sure. To s...

I am in discussions right now with a trial site in S. california. It looks likely that I will start in a few weeks. I hope that others who are trying to get on board are able to. I am nervous of complications, but I am 99.99% sure I will go through with the trial. Best of luck everyone.

Maybe someone has been slipping it to me...???? That explains it.

Hey Robbie. I have never tried that one, but diazapam - valium works well for my ntremor and spacicity
