I’m So Sad!
Well, it’s been quite a rough year so far. Just not having a lot of luck as far as getting into studies is concerned. Just little things getting out of whack like too much potassium (strange as I don’t eat bananas) or my blood pressure is too high. Unfortunately, that is part of the game. You will have times when you don’t get into studies and it always seems to be at a time when you want the money the most. If you are excluded from a study for a laboratory result, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are unhealthy. It just means that your results were out of the range the sponsor was looking for. Your lab values change from day to day and I’ve said it a millions times that it’s amazing that all the things they check for are ever all within range at one time. You just gotta make sure you eat healthy, don’t do any heavy exercise and keep trying. And by way, a lot of people like me, get nervous and overexcited during vitals. So your results are artificially high. As soon as I dose and know I’m in the study, my BP is rock solid in the mid range. So, a few tips, don’t look at the machine or the clock, keep your feet flat on the ground, wear loose clothes, breathe deeply and just relax. Your friend in time, Paul
