Knowing my luck, I'd come home with MRSA.

Someone did a coffee trial at my uni and this is what happened

Wow, our children really are getting dumber with every generation.

I'd have a cold for 3.5k, why not.

I wouldn't touch anything involving experimental drugs, though .

bear in mind the side effects that all the commonly available drugs have AFTER having gone through clinical trials. Multiply that 100 fold at least and you are getting close to the potential side effects you may experience. Also, how many drugs have been discontinued after 10 or 20 years in the field, and you are accepting the risk of trying something not on the market yet. If your life depended on it, its worth the risk, otherwise ... don't go near it

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

[Josy]

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

Yup.

Also someone has to do stuff like this or we wouldn't have safe drugs tbh.

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.

[Beso]

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


they gave him tourettes.
