Clinical Trial

Hi everyone.

I’ve started a clinical trial in London again - my last one was 3 years ago - unfortunately I got the placebo which was disappointing as everyone on the trial felt so well.

Anyway this one they change my meds to Trelegy and I take tablets - first time I’ve ever done tablets so I’ll be interested to see how (if) it works. They use on cystic fibrosis patients and want to see if it works with COPD.

Anyway I’ll keep you posted how it goes.

Hope ur all well.

Pepparuby in the photo it was her 10th birthday yesterday. 🐈‍⬛

I applied to work for clinical trials last year but it didn't work out and since then their job has reappeared twice on the vacancies board!

Nice to see pepparuby for a change as she isn't hiding from being bossed about by Mollie!

Quite possibly Dave the last one I trialed three years ago that was placebo still isn’t on the market a better version of Trelegy
