A friend with ALS volunteered for a drug trial. It was a heroic choice, but absolutely horrible for her. Her ALS progressed very quickly; she had less than a year after diagnosis.

Participating in the trial meant taking 10 (extra) pills a day as well as multiple two-hour trips to the clinic. Worst of all, it meant she couldn't take a medication to ease a heartbreaking symptom of ALS, uncontrollable sobbing. That wasn't disclosed when she signed up for the trial.

Please be sure you fully understand what this drug trial would entail.
