My Trip to Atlanta Was paid For By Drug Company
I had so much fun in Atlanta. I went to be part of a Clinical Trial for a drug named Dimond made by Medivation, Inc. It is supposed to help movements and memory. It is a drug for Alzheimer's Disease, where people forget things. I am taking it, testing out whether it makes a person smarter or whether it just keeps the person at current level and not change their abilities and not get worse in their disease. I have to have doctor appointments weekly, and then bi-weekly, and finally monthly for 3 months. I was assigned a doctor to have when i am in Atlanta and his name was Dr. Stewart Factor. He moved down from Albany, New York where my Mother lived and I grew up there, too. My doctor asked anyone i my family had Huntington's Disease. I told him my Mother's name was Joan Van Gelder. He was excited to hear her name and said she had beeen one of his clients! i tried to get into Tampa to do the study and they already had their 24 people. i could not go to Tampa. God blessed me by getting the Dimond from Allanta and getting to kno and use my mother's doctor which was very exciting for me! My church was praying for me and that was an answer to prayer.
