I found this website while searching for clinical trials to participate in. I recently left my husband of twenty seven years and at the age of 52, I have very little in the way of certified experience to fall back on. Between the two of us there is debt to pay off but I refuse to file bankruptcy and will pay off half of this debt even if it takes to the end of my lifespan. But the good news is that people are living to be over 100 so I'm pretty sure I'll have it taken care of way before then.
I am hoping that as a 52 year old female who, after years of abuse by her spouse (Down with Domestic Violence WHOOP WHOOP), finds that God has graced her with fabulous health. No, I mean fabulous health as in no heart problems, great cholesteral levels, no diabetes, no nothing.
I have been in search of employment for going on seven years now, but here in San Antonio, Texas they want Young and Short and Mostly Hispanic. Don't go all belligerent on me because I will just drag you around the city and prove what I just said, so there.
I have spent a great deal of time defending my height as well. You haven't lived until some man asks you if you're really a female because you're tall and have big hands and feet. I say if you are six feet tall and over, you would have a balance problem if you have small hands and feet. But I digress.
I started this blog page to share the what where and therefore's of clinical trials. i will share with you the things I learn along the way in hopes that it will benefit you even if it doesn't benefit me.
First thing noticed is the demand for male participation. So you healthy males...or unhealthy males, get to those websites and make yourselves some extra cash for holidays, vacations, etc. Favorite age group is 18-45 years old. Favorite choice is non smoking but there are a few sites looking for smokers both males and females so there is still hope for all you smokers who are now being shunned by society. I was a smoker so I feel great to be able to share this information with you.
Next is mental health, if you are certified with one you might want to check out some of these trials especially if on disability and looking for a way to help out your fellow man with safer pharmaceuticals, and make some extra cash throughout the year.
And then there are the allergy trials. It is the season here in San Antonio so if you have doctor's proof then check 'em out. We all could use a little cash to pay for the OTC and Prescription allergy meds, am I right, especially Cedar and Hay Fever right now.
So, Clinical Connection is new to me. I put in an email yesterday and they are extremely prompt...not something I'm used to. I have submitted the questionaire and chosen two trial studies, both of which I would probably do for free as they affect many women of my age group. So I will keep you posted on those. I will give them credit for my starting this blog page also. Most clinics (CEDRA aka World Wide Clinical Trials) want you to keep your experiences hush hush. That is why, whether chosen or not, I chose to blog and encourage, even ask that you share your experiences and help others along as well.
Enough for now. But will blog again soon. :)

Just an update...I have reconciled with my husband. Whoa there partners, no panties in an uproar. We accepted and owned up to our responsibilities. We drew the lines pointing to our limits/triggers. It was made very clear that no tolerance is accepted on the violence or it's jail time. Best thing is the separate rooms and interests, lol. I like internet and video games and rewarding myself with them when all chores and to do lists are done. We spend time together until we start getting on each other's nerves, then it's off the our man/woman caves for alone time.
