    Default Extra Income

    I take part in clinical studies.and have had good results. I did one a while back that put me on the right path with my IBS.

    Right now I am in one for high cholesteral. It pays $50 a visit and there will be between 19-41 visits depending on your criteria, etc. My Dr. is fully aware I do this this and has no problem with it.

    Does anyone else do this?

    I wish I knew where there was something like this by me. I would definitely do what you are, if there wasn't too many risks of course.

    My daughter will be finishing up a year long study at the end of the month on teen girls/ weight and milk consumption.
    She gets a $60 GC every visit. She did a total of 5 visits.
    They even reimburse me for my milk purchases.
    The only thing she has to do is drink 4 cups of milk a day! It is a win/win situation for both.
    I think it is a great study. Hoping that she can do more in the future.

    She did a study a few years back with the meningitis vaccine and tetanus vaccine. They were seeing what the effects of giving them together and 30 days apart.
    She received $50 per visit for this study plus now she will not need the meningitis shot when she goes to college.

    I screened for one once, but just barely missed the criteria. I will probably go ahead and screen again when DD starts school. It was a full day thing and I can't have her with me.
