Played the lab rat today

I spent about 3 hours today at the research facility my neuro works with to get tested for entering a couple of ms-related trials:

- use of bazedoxifene for remyelination (can't pronounce this word so it does not seem to quite exists, lol) in MS

- while I was there, they also enrolled me into a COVID_19 vaccine test. This is a simple one, blood test prior to the vaccine, blood test after. Not quite sure when I'll be able to get the vaccine.

- and the good news is that they're restarting the on-going tracking of Ocrevus when used as the first treatment

Just sharing. The good news is that all tests are free, including MRIs, results are directly available to my neuro. And hopefully, it helps the cause...

I'll share anything I hear but it might take months...
