Sounds like a good plan even if you were on the placebo side of the test.....if that's the kind it is. 50 bucks a visit and all your current other meds paid for, for a year and a half ain't chicken feed. Who knows maybe the drug will work amazingly well too and you'll be off and running.

That does sound exciting, but please find out ll you can about this drug before you inject it. Make sure this is from a reputable company. If it is all good, then go for it and hope it works out for you

OK, I looked it up and Astrazenica is one of the companies that makes one of my inhalers, symbicort. Its headquarters is in London, so now you are saying they are doing a study here in the US? Anyway, if this is the company you are talking about, it is a reputable company.
