D Thanks for that Dinky, pity I'm not on methotrexate, as I live near the facility. 

There is also a trial for Prof. Ranjeny Thomas' rheumatoid vaccination. If you live in Brisbane you may like to attend her public lecture at the convention centre at Southbank on 19th November http://www.di.uq.edu.au/events#RALecture.  She is a very good speaker and is making significant progress with stopping RA in its early stages.  

Dinky,

lorrie2008-11-21 19:59:23 Hi guys, just so you know,I was sent to a new rheumatoid Dr recently for a possible trial, only I couldn't participate due to one of the criteria which was previous allergic type reactions on other trials, just for your info, kind regards Janie.

Edited by me to correct text. janiefx2008-11-05 01:45:43Thanks for the info Dinky.  I'm on MTX and still have swelling.  I will give the 1800 number a call.Thanks for this. I am only an hour away from the lecture she is giving. I may try somehow to get there but since I can't drive a long way because RA it will be a challenge. I would love to though and if I do I shall report back.  Hey Cords, me too, I will try my best, maybe we could meet on the train?  At least we would get to meet each other and have a coffee or two!  Love Janie.XX I called today and requested the forms to be assessed for this.  The fellow I talked to  said I sounded like I would qualify.  I would have to go to a medical centre near where my Rheumy is (45min away) about 14 times over 6 months.  I'm looking forward to getting the forms and seeing if they will accept me.   Thanks for the heads up Dinky.Now that sounds like fun, Janie.
