well i have a disease called pph thats (primary pulmonary hypertension) i have to much pressure in my lungs. well my doctor over at UCLA tells me she wants to put me in a study group. i guesss thats where they give one group a type of a sugar pill and another group real pill the patients dont really know what theyre getting only the doctors do.
the pill has never been tried out before. its suppose to lower the pressure. i am already taking another pill for this but they want to see if this will work even better on me. i am scared but if it will help other people including myself im willing to try it.

I guess if I was offered it I would give it a go, nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. I would be scared because obviously being a guinea pig means that you are the first to try it and so there is no way of knowing if there will be side effects. But these people are very clever and so I guess they know what they are doing and if you took bad to it then it would show straight away and they would just not give you anymore. I think its great that you are willing to take part in it, and lets hope it helps you out.
