CoQ10 Screening

Today was my "screening" visit for a CoEnzymeQ10 study I hope to be participating in. Basically it involved handing over some blood and urine (mine), and answering some questions. Some of the cognitive questions are really indicative of where PD has the potential to take someone (along the dimentia route). Questions like; what city are we in? what day is it? (actually, that was a tough one - I never know what day it is). My brain was working pretty well today so I got 31 correct answers (out of 31 questions - woohoo!).
If there's anything drastically wrong with my blood or urine, I could still be excluded from the study - but then would be working on fixing some other health problem :-)
To stay in the study, I can't start any symptom relief medication (the study lasts for 16 months) - so I'll have to get more comfortable with this shaking, and get my exercise level up to higher levels so that "runners high" can kick in more often. Dropping out of the study would be a big waste, as I would still be included as one of the 600 study participants but my results wouldn't be used.
