    Default Clinical Trials

    Not sure what all of this means - but thought you might be interested if you have not already seen it. Evidently the U.S. National Institute of Health is recruiting participants in a number of Wegener's related studies.

    Participating in such studies is one thing we can do to help in research for treating and diagnosing Wegs. If you are near one of the research study centers or go to any of them for any reason, participation is quite easy. Some even have some perks like paying you for lunch on the days you come. The only down side I know of is they often have to take double amounts of blood for the extra research studies but once the needle is in, six tubes or 12 tubes doesn't make much difference, does it?
    Knowledge is power! Wisdom is using it to make good decisions!
