Good show Marcy. Sounds like you drew the long straw. I sure hope so for your sake so that when this is over, hopefully, you will be clear.

Good luck for the rest of the course!

Went to the trial center to check in.  Been on the Merck combo for 15 days.  Since it's a blinded study I didn't know if I've been on placebo or real thing.  Trial coordinator is pretty sure it's the real thing since my liver enzymes have dropped by about 50%.  They've never been very high anyway, but I checked my labs going back many years and they have never been this low.  I had a very mild headache (lurking) the whole first week, which mysteriously disappeared the second week.  She said this is commonly reported by people on the med.  

 

So,  I'm super excited that there's a good chance I'm on the real thing.  biggrin
