Heard From Clinical Trials Neuro

I had a really good day today! I had more energy at work. I did run out of steam, but I am still happy with everything I was able to do today.

I already heard from Dr. Rick at the MS Center, the neurologist who is running the clinical trials. Unfortunately, I missed the call, because I was working. I will call him tomorrow. I am dumbfounded that Dr. Harry did exactly what he said he would do (telling Dr. Rick to contact me about studies)--that is unusual for a neurologist, in my experience!
