I've just had to disappoint my doctor's research coordinator by declining to participate in a clinical trial for a new #crohns medication under study.

I'd be willing to participate generally, but the time commitment is just too much. Numerous pre-launch visits, two endoscopies (colonoscopies) and then monthly follow ups for the first three months alone.

Not with a new job, unfortunately.
She was so disappointed when I wound up declining. I'm sure it's hard to find willing and able participants in central PA, though. So I get it.

But it's still a no for me.

Winding up missing an important #crohns tele appointment I was literally sitting waiting at my device to attend (for an hour!) because of stupid things really has me very, very annoyed this evening.

Oooh! I remembered to give myself my dose of #skyrizi today.

Go me!

And that's with post-general-anesthesia brain!
