So I’ve joined a clinical trial for a potential medicine to help with certain MS symptoms. Given the general nature of the symptoms it would likely help with other conditions as well.
It’s a double blind placebo trial, so I could be on a placebo, but so far based on its effects I suspect I’m not.
For those not on a placebo it’s randomised the dose level you’re on. Based on yesterday I suspect/hope I’m on one of the higher doses. In that I hope I could take a lower dose of it.
It’s been similar to a large dose of another medication, in that both the good and bad effects are magnified.
The bad effect could be worse, but it’s muscle weakening – and since the MS I’ve not had much muscle strength to spare. It also makes me, not sleepy per se, but more go-with-the-flow nonchalant.
