- - - Have been on the dexpramipexole study since July 2011. Didn't have a breathing problem before going on the study and , fortunately, don't have a breathing problem now. Perhaps the Dex study was a big help during the past year? ? ? Seems that most of the results from my monthly lab work has remained fairly steady during the past year which indicates I am on the " real stuff" rather than a placebo? ? ? Regardless, it appears the entire study group will get the " real stuff" in the next couple of months. Anyone out there on the dex study at Emory ? ?
