Last summer I signed on to participate in a Clinical Research trial. I had tried before but didn't qualify but they had me on a list and called me back for a different one and I qualified.
My thought was I have a lot of free time since no one wants to hire a 50+ year old dude who lives in MS.
There was conflict even from the beginning. The very first visit conflicted with my kids' annual pediatrician check-up. I had forgotten about it and NG was pissed that we had to reschedule.
Another visit prevented me from going to see my kids get an award or something at school.
I just completed Visit 6 so I am halfway to the $1550 payout. Of course, the story of my luck is that if I find a way to earn some extra money, a new expense shows up. We had to replace our dishwasher and decided to replace the fridge too because the garage fridge died. While we went frugal and got as many discounts as we could, the total cost was still higher than the Trial Payout, but it was close.
Nightingale and I believe that I have been given the placebo treatment. The drops do not sting and I haven't noticed any real change in my night or short-sight vision.

I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
