Greg - I always think that drug trials are exciting, but I think I would hesitate as well, not knowing what they were testing. The upside is that it is probably a drug that has already been released in Europe, so any really weird side effects (like a hand growing out of you forehead) probably have already been seen. Also, you have to realize that you may be getting a placebo which can put you into relapse. Or you could get a drug that makes you feel like a million bucks. Who knows? Sorry buddy, this is a decision you have to make on your own. All I can say is "exciting and scary, all-in-one". Remember, ask lots of questions (possible side effects, length of trial, opportunity to take the real drug, if given placebo, etc.).Good luck with your decision and keep us posted. - Cam
