Has anyone ever participated in a medical research study for BP? I have a 4 hour assessment on the 17th and I am really nervous.

i had an MRI done on my brain in London, ON when my pdoc and some colleagues at the univ. hosp. were conducting a study on the physical structure of the bipolar brain...if there were any minute differences b/w them and normal brains....never got the results back, even though i specifically asked for them ,and legally they have to provide them

When they start to fuck with your meds you start a real strange cycle. For the money maybe, but it's not for me... The testing is really invasive as well...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
