Hi
Thanks for your query.

For you I agree that clinical trial enrolment is the best option. I have run a search for relevant clinical trials available in Florida. Some of these (not all) may be applicable for you. You need to contact the site co-ordinators and see if enrolment is feasible.

Here is the list...
