Advocate Bob Miller has been on a hunger strike to try to convince FDA to approve the experimental drug Ampligen for ME. He and fellow patient Dr. Janet Smith got a terrific piece of local news coverage in Reno, Nevada. FDA is scheduled to make a decision on Ampligen's fate by tomorrow. Given that the FDA committee voted no to Ampligen on December 20, odds are slim that the FDA will overturn its committee's decision, but it ain't over until it's over.
