... even eliminate off periods,,, that would be quite acceptable if they could do that. in fact, eliminating off period would pretty much be all I would ask for right now

Between the FDA's ridiculously obstructionist policy about this medication and the drug makers extreme cost, almost $1,000 a week for the medication, this will never see the light of day. Anyone remember the Amgen fiasco, and Abbott has not even sought approval. To my knowledge the phase 3 trials are out with results reported at a conference in April 2012 in New Orleans the company was said to looking towards seeking marketing approval sometime towards the end of 2012. I think it is also affected by this new healthcare legislation. Oh, lest I forget, this drug was developed from something that was on the orphaned drug list, compiled from stuff that
was alreadyB approved but on the shelf! Shheeez!!!! And we're searching for a cure??!!!
PUUUUULEASEwe haven't cured anything since polio! We've got this disease for life!!! With or without big pharma. They don't want to cure it, just keep 'em going for another day. Oh, and it's time to take another pill.
THAT my friends is the truth of the matter!
