Has anyone on the board been part of a clinical trial? Would you ever consider being part of medical research?

I have done some research things that pay you to participate. Nothing medical though.

Depending on what it was. I have never- but I would to try one for allergies. I have terrible allergies and would love to find something that would work with them.

I would like to participate in some trials involving diabetes and lowering blood sugar. I have a lot of problems controling my blood pressure though and would be very cautious unless the trials were being done by actual MD's and my own doctor was willing to help monitor me. (I do not live close to a major city and would want my local doctor to be fully aware of what was going on in case problems arose.

I've looked into it but I've never had the opportunity to get into one. I would try it though. I think it would be interesting to be a part of such research. I've heard that medical schools hire people to pretend they have a set of symptoms for their students to try to diagnose, that would be right up my alley.
