and here I am, a non-smoking non-drinking middle class caucasian male between the ages of 18 and 55, and they can't pin down why meds work so strangely and ineffectively for me ... makes me feel sorry for all y'all out there with different demographics.
If we could just take all the lawyers and all the stock-optioned CEOs, CFOs, and C-whatever-Os and stick them under the polar ice cap for a while, maybe the development time as well as the number of compounds being investigated would improve. Pardon my soapbox, but it makes me ill to think off all the folks out there getting rich because people get sick.
grrrr
