I just received a message from a friend on here. After I had replied to a post about saying "I would like to participate in a research study on FM".
I was just curious whether anyone else here at DS has done so?
I would be lieing if I said I was not scared, and I am sure my family and friends are not going to be happy with me if I to thru with this....as I did just fill out an application to participate in a research study.
I also said " at this point, what do I have to lose"..(maybe that was just a little selfish) as I do have 2 grown children whom have given me 2 wonderful grandchilren....one of whom was just born this past sunday. IT'S A GIRL!...lol...the other is a 2 1/2 yr old grandson.
But I do look at it this way....if indeed something did happen to me..but as an end result...it would save at least just one more person from this pain and suffering we are all in. I in fact would do this.
Just was curious how others felt, and or if, anyone has participated in one...?
Please let me know...and I will let you all know if I do get contacted, and just what it is I may be doing.
THanks,
Lori

my chiro simply adjusts me...neck, back, hips and one ankle...then he has me lie on this table and hangs me upside down for like 5 minutes !! thats it !!
the Thing that scares me the MOST about Medications...is What else are they Masking ??
I mean, if you do not Feel Pain right...how can you tell if something Else has gone Wrong ?? and then there is the whole other matter of becoming either Dependent, OR Addicted...Not to be Confused as the same Thing...Not used Interchangably...tho The End result can Often SEEM the same...if you have to Come OFF the Meds for Whatever Reason...
I would be willing to allow then to Scan me, xray me...take my Blood and research ALL that is going on within me...but never would I Agree to take a Medicine blindly...and for those Brave Souls that Do...God Bless ya...I Hope nothing Irreversable happens within you...
