probably only if the trial was for a potential cure of some horrible disease that i already had

Not sure why anyone would even think of doing it :/

Well 3.5k is a lot of money, the cold isn't that dangerous...flu can be a bit more so but surrounded by medically trained people with numerous blood tests and checkups, I can't see too much going wrong. Plus I am medicated up to the eyeballs in daily life (a reason they might refuse me actually) so I am likely to get side effects from that anyway

Probably won't be able to do it anyway as I am unsure if I could get to London the 3 times thats needed just for medicals to check I am healthy enough to take part

not all drug trials are equal. Some companies rush products to market, others do due diligence before releasing them for trial. Its a very scary game of russian roulette. You may be lucky and earn a few quick bucks, you may also be very unlucky and have your life ruined. Still think its worth the money?

Yup.

Sorry for the pity party But I am ****ed either way. Might aswell be ****ed and have cash to actually treat my kids. Though fairly sure they will turn me down for existing health issues, looking at the site it looks like the only issue is if you have asthma, which luckily, I don't have. Will ask when they call me, which should be apparently by 5 today.

[bots]

you could get lucky and be in the placebo group, that is money for nothing .... if it was me, i'm never that lucky ... i would grow an extra head or something

[Vicky.]

Yeah the side effects and stuff are pretty scary, but its so tempting I don't usually go that much into my problems on the forum either, so not entirely sure why I did that either..as my usual way is to pretend everything is fine.

Edit. Found it, and spoke to Gavin just no and he doesn't seem impressed

Edit again. 'Thank you for your application.'

They probably wouldn't allow you do it Vicky because of your current medical issues and that you're already on meds for that. I think you have to 100% well and on no medication for these trials

[Beso]

I have a mate who has done this a few times over the years..he swears by it....


they gave him tourettes.

They didn't ring me back anyway, and this is before learning of my issues. Bastards
