Is it this study led by Dr Michael Rose?

Yes it looks the same as this trial but there is no names on it, I'm putting my name forward there is nothing to lose by it, I've spoken to the research assistant.

Hi Les, me too, I started this study last week, finding it interesting. When you start you will be given info on all the doctors involved in the study.

Hi did you have to go to London or did you do everything online it would be a long journey for me as I live in the north east and the initial interview is only for 1 hour.

Hi Les, don't seem to have much luck with this site, only just seen your reply. I have nearly finished this study (final phone call next Thursday). I didn't have to go to London but have done it all online with weekly phone calls.

Not sure how I feel about it all, I found it pretty hard going and can't say I have felt any real improvement but think I'll read through all the paperwork again and see if it sinks in a bit more.

How have you got on, have you felt it has been of any benefit?

Regretfully I must inform you that my husband George Leslie Tate had a fall and died of a heart attack last Friday 29th September and would be grateful if his name could be unsubscribed from the mailing list
