Clinical Trials: Why don't more MSers volunteer?

[ActiveMSers]

I've taken part in several clinical trials since getting diagnosed with MS 11 years ago. And as many of you know, one saved my life. Clinical trials are critical to finding a cure for our disease, and they are always in need of volunteers. Consider participating in one this year. For yourself. For all of us.

HowStuffWorks interviewed me about my experiences. Here's why it matters so much:

When I was diagnosed in 2000, the head of neurology at University of Mississippi MC told me, "Enroll in as many clinical trials as you can".

Took a couple years before I stumbled upon the knowledge of where to even hear about clinical trials. When I read about them, they were either held in distant cities, or I didn't qualify because I was told I was Secondary Progressive.

I did join NARCOMS (http://narcoms.org/). Hardly a trial but research nonetheless. Their >FREE< magazine, Narcoms Now, is a wealth of info regarding clinical trials. (hint hint)
