Oh absolutely they are fully aware that I have posted in here,
Doc John is aware of this too!
No worries - it is 100% valid!
And yes, I am permitted to discuss and disclose anything if
anyone has any questions and if necessary - depends on
what the question pertains to - I can answer it on the thread
or merely mark it - please see your PM.
Emory / WebEase are fully aware of this - and this is not the
only place either ---> they know exactly where all I'm at, and
they know exactly where the others have posted elsewhere likewise.
THEY STILL NEED PEOPLE DESPERATELY!
To make it easier for everyone to understand this and how
easy it is:
- the questionnaire is very simple
- it is broken down into 3 simple stages (you will find that out in due time)
- it is not a difficult thing nor is it "time consuming or hard"
- everything is done on the internet and it does not interfere with anything to do with your rapport / relationship with your Physicians.
- they do not have anything to do with your medications or give/tell/instruct you on that issue either
- they do not give out any advisories but rather it is based upon solely you
- the structure itself is "all about you and how the epilepsy impacts you" in xxxx (won't disclose this part) way.
- there is nothing offensive or 'sexual' or such of that nature in that study at all - but rather a daily / day by day issue with living with epilepsy.
I hope this brings more clarification of its simplicity into light
and encourage others to participate once they realize that it
isn't "what they presume or assume" it to be.
Is it worth it? I say, "Absolutely" - for it is giving the CDC (Federal
Government) and Emory University - the generalized perspective
of (n=xxx) {with "n" meaning number and "x" meaning the population}
having this, having that, etc ...
Hope this all brings forth the clarification even a broader horizon to you.
