In a document filed Monday night with U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier of New Orleans, BP rebutted objections by various parties in recent weeks and said the size of the settlement and the small number of opt-outs - under 1,000 so far - prove the deal is fair. Prospective claimants have until Nov.

Avatar n tn Also go on the websites of the manufactures, sometimes they have coupons for a % off your bill. When I joint the avandia program I got a couple months free avandia, plus they send coupons at times. Also ask your md for samples. I use to work at a doctors office and we got enough samples to open a pharmacy. Another thing, if your job offers a flexible spending account, I find that is nice as well. it reduces your taxes and you can contribute up to 3000 a year to them. good luck.
Avatar f tn Yes, i was put on Avandia for Type 2 abt 5 years ago. Since then my #'s have improved with diet and exercise to the point that a new Dr. said she saw no reason for me to be on Avandia and i have since stopped useing it. It was never vy high, around 159 or so when it was diagnosed. If i am not careful of my diet it can jump up to the 130's to 140's. Am also on diovan for HBP which is usually under good control with the 1 med.
Avatar f tn Can I take Evening Primrose and Femara together? I'm also taking Avandia. Any thoughts would be great!
Avatar m tn [copy/paste] "For reasons still not identified, the long-term use of Actos weakens the respiratory tract’s immunity. This results to throat and respiratory infections like sore throat, sinusitis, coughs, and colds." Use with caution if you have heart issues. Also, Avandia is the other drug that falls into this classification. The FDA warns not to use Avandia for first time users, in fact, the FDA severely restricts its use.
Avatar n tn Not sure what state you live in. My attorney here in Georgia told me that 25% was the max she could charge. ( I was willing to give her more to take the case, for she is GREAT). I have a work injury to R. Knee. W/C paying. Neck injury in 11/07. Denied since I had neck surgery in '98 Crazy huh? I am in the same boat as you.

Avatar f tn Anyone else experienced this, my mom was hit by a person who was texting and driving and ran a red light and totaled her vehicle she is now waiting on the settlement, she should be getting it within the next couple weeks she says she wants to buy me a crib and a more reliable vehicle for the baby, but I'm not sure if she will have enough if not me and my husband were gonna go ahead and put the crib in lawaway and pay on it and just trade our car in next week.
Avatar n tn My salary was about 90k/year and the settlement will easily replace that; even if I go back to work, I still collect it and the settlement is written so that the decision can't be appealed. The gastro wanted to fight, but the malpractice insurance company settled it without any input. And my attorney said that there are MANY more Versed patient-abuse cases out there. Do I sound like I'm gloating? Maybe, a little...
Avatar n tn Metformin is in general, a good medication. There are others in the class such as Avandia. You can talk to your doctor about this. You might try drinking more water, eating more fiber (vegetables, whole grains), taking psyllium seed fiber and walking regularly. Each of those can help. Of course, there is always the laxative option but it's best to try the others first. Take it with meals, this helps. Onglyza is another alternative medication idea.
Avatar f tn Well my husband and i were one of those families and we were taking part in the lawsuit in hopes of getting a settlement well..... We finally after almost 3 years got our settlement check today!!! $3,000!!
Avatar m tn I use Actos, but for some reason my fingers typed Avandia. Our FDA went through the same review on Avandia recently, and reluctantly left it on the shelf; however, it is used only when patients are found refractory to other, similar drugs, I believe. FlGuy, although I was down to 185 pounds at one point during treatment, I’m currently the lankiest 6’ 0” 250 pounder you’ve ever seen :o). I’ve always led an active lifestyle, so I don’t fit the sedentary profile of typical DM II patients.

Avatar n tn In July of 2009 the Texas Attorney General announced a settlement with the maker of Acai Berry Maxx, which had claimed the product could limit premature aging and could flush up to 30 pounds of waste and toxins from the body.

4385446 tn?1353798268 I have had two times when I've had chest pain from stress. One episode lasted 4.5 months, after a car accident. The second lasted 3 weeks and started after my attorney took me to court because I wouldn't sign the settlement check. I didn't agree to the settlement and he did it anyway because he had too many cases piled up. Judge ruled in my favor. Both times it went away on its own after I relaxed enough. I rely on a beta blocker now when needed.
Avatar f tn But, you would still have a very good chance of winning lawsuit or getting a very good settlement. If you find that it is asbestos, hire a lawyer immediately who will probably hire an independent industrial hygiene firm to take the sample and have it analyzed so that they can prove "chain of custody" issues in court. Or call a lawyer tomorrow and see if they are willing to hire someone to take the sample. Take action now.
