Are there participants in this group who took part in this trial and would like to share their experience.

I participated in the trial. I may have been given a placebo, but I didn't experience any noticeable benefit. I don't think six months is long enough to determine efficacy. It may have slowed or stopped progression, but the disease progresses so slowly that it's impossible to know.

I was also in the trial and noticed no changes over the 6 months.

But did your symptoms got worse?

[power2k in reply to Ed-shakes]

Same question: did your symptoms get worse, or in other words, did your disease conditions progress after 6 months in the trial? If your conditions get stabilized or your progress slows down, then the drug still works imo.

My symptoms stayed the same but I started exercising religiously and got my diet in check. Strength training, five days a week and do cardio 4 to 5 times a week along with agility training. I’ve been off the drug since September 1 and my symptoms haven’t gotten worse since I’ve been off it. So I’m not sure if it was the drug or just me taking care of myself.
