I just had a phone call from the hospital (they managed to chase me up thou I had a new address and new phone number throu my hospital emergency family contact number ) and a follow study is being done for one which was done 7 years ago (it was published, the low blood flow spect scans etc).
They want to see if the abnormalities they found in those in the original study, if things have changed. So I'll be getting another MRI, spect scan, 24hr hoitler monitering (great as that is how I originally picked up my orthostatic hypertension) etc. They have also added in a whole lot of new test things they are going to add to their study, they'll be looking at the optic nerve, neuropsych testing, wearing of a motion dectector etc (I cant remember what else she said).
Anyway, Im excited to hear that all this other stuff has been added to their long term follow up study they decided to do. (I think they will be horrified at my results on my motion detector, they certainly wont be getting the normal persons inactive results there).
I thou will have to be off all my drugs/supplements for a couple of weeks (which is going to suck but yeah worth it in the name of science).
.............
I dont remember if I mentioned in in the other thread, I missed out of the part B of the other study going on in this state right now (into fatty acids) which needed less people then the part A I was in this year/end of last year? (the follow up research of the original carnitine study which I also had been in). That study is still going on.
