Sandel, the study will be held in Chicago but I need to verify the caller said it was through a university. I am not certain what group is sponsoring this study, but it is in connection to the Rehabilitation Institue of Chicago. I will find out more next week when I get a second call-back. I think they want to do some preliminary screening. Then you go to Chicago for the day for blood testing and assessment. Then if you are selected to participate, the rep said the study would begin this summer and involves nutrition with a control group and a test group. I don't know how long it will take but he said the results will be published.

I was hesistant to participate because I am terrified to have my blood drawn for fear of a spread. This caller said he would verify the technique used with the phebotomist before he called back. I would like to participate, but it will require a lot of windshield time on my part and driving is so difficult with CRPS in my left arm.
