Clinical Trial

I was accepted into the clinical trial for Etoricoxib.  The doctor tells me it is a proven drug in Europe but it isn't approved in the US yet because of the controversy surrounding Vioxx. So, it isn't new,  just new to the US. I am still a bit nervous about it but the doctor says the next step is a biologic. I really do not want to take any of those.  The side effects really frighten me.  My biggest fear it that I will not be able to have children because of all the medications I have taken over the years. So, if this works, I don't have to take the biologic.  I also feel like I am doing something to really help the RA community.  By doing this, I could help future RA patients feel better faster.  Someone did it for me with Methotrexate and Mobic so it feels good to do this for someone else.
