Time for a little reflection methinks…..
Opinions, facts and feelings are fluid things, as more information comes in they change or at least they should change. I consider myself a pretty fluid boy although its fair to say that not many people who know me would agree, I think that is because of my “plan” problem. [...]
Its really goodbye to week 19 and the start of week 20 but whose keeping score.
What have we learnt this week campers? We have learnt that food, sleep and water are very important.
Overall this week has been a bit flat, not dissimilar to last week, mainly I think down to my sleeping pattern being disrupted. [...]
Now Cliff Arnall, a health psychologist at Cardiff University, has devised a formula to work out the worst day of the year and has come up with January 23 for 2006.

Well I’ve got to be honest its been the best week yet on a lot of levels.
Felt generally very good, the tiredness is still there but you can work round that, and as a result have worked everyday this week bar the Friday. I did do a shift on the Sunday though for those of [...]
NM283 is another drug in trials that is showing some positive results with the hard to treat genotype 1 Hepatitis C. You know the drill, years away if ever but still worth keeping an eye on.
Idenix Pharmaceuticals announced 4-week data today from an ongoing phase IIb clinical trial demonstrating that treatment with valopicitabine NM [...]
Once again another good week, a bit of a struggle at the beginning of the week which was either the “hangover” from the Xmas/New Year break or a little downer following the PCR test results. My vote would go for xmas/new year, always found it a bit of a low time, relatively speaking.
