We, my coord. and I, talked to Opexa and they said they could not do the epitope shift 'test', whatever that is. I wasn't sure the reasons why, but I do know that they are going to try and determine that and adjust at some time, at least that's what I remember. If I'm not mistaken, they did say that sometime in the 2nd quarter, maybe, but since I've exited the trial, I really didn't commit it all, or I had to make room for a phone number or something

. The discourse in the Tovaxin thread sure has gotten emotional. I think this is a natural response to hoping, with every bit of my heart and soul I might add, along with everyone else, against hope that this was going to fix us. As I've always stated, you can check the history of my posts, it doesn't work for ME. Neither did Avonex, and it works for many. Part of accepting you have this is the realization that nothing may work in your particular case, and that is a hard pill to swallow.
I can't in good faith tell everyone to "calm down". Do you guys remember the lunatic named Loobie who was going batshit because they delayed my extension stuff so many times around X-mas last year? I sure do. At any rate, we should not pass judgement all over each other based on our emotionally charged reactions to all this news. As Mike has pointed out, there are different ways to look at the data. I wish we could all get together in about three years and have a beer over the news that could come out by then. One thing to keep in mind is that we are all arguing about our interpretations. It's much easier when you have absolute empirical evidence about something. But once opinion gets involved............well just read the top four or so threads on here and watch the fur fly!
