Avatar n tn I have had three surgeries on my left eye (SLT, filtration, and then lazer cutting of filtration sutures to keep pressures low.), by a well known glaucoma specialist. After each surgery, my vitreous became 'looser' and more floaters erupted. Before each surgery, I asked the surgeon if the procedures would cause vitreous excitation, and each time he said no. Well, not so.

Avatar f tn As independent studies started to show a correlation between Vioxx and an increase risk of heart attack and stroke, the NIH funded the VIGOR study I believe in 2001 at the request of the Arthritis Advisory Committee to determine if there was indeed a link. What they discovered was that all NSAIDS increased the risk for heart attack and stroke with Vioxx being the worst.

Avatar m tn This was about 1961 and concussions were not a big deal as today. I really notice that everyone I know can recall words to songs and names of actors or athletes yet I am very, very limited as to what I can remember. It is embarrassing at times that I can't remember a simple name yet when someone says the name, I can recall the person.
Avatar n tn I had a DVT that went through my heart and into my lungs(PE). A valve was damaged, also one chanber of my heart. My problem is that I wasn't diagnosed as a "heart attack", but rather a "pulmonary embolism", and the lawyers representing me in my vioxx lawsuit say it has to be a heart attack, not a PE. Isn't a heart attack part of a PE? Rather, did I suffer a heart attack as well as a pulmonary embolism?

1001811 tn?1259861489 Slings are great if used right!!! The sling that was recalled studies were done on it years ago back in 2007 and the company knew that it had a suffocation risk. The babies head shoudl always be out of the sling and the baby should never be curled in a C position laying nor upright! That is the problems not the slings.

Avatar f tn I had been on Levoxyl for over 20 years and doing really well. Due to the recall I was forced onto Synthroid in July 2013. My body is not accepting it very well, I have lost 1/2 my hair and continue to have head aches. Is there any idea when Levoxyl will be back on the market?
11079760 tn?1483386130 Such an important topic, and Supermum (so beautifully thorough as always), and so many others bring up some super important tips, tricks and practices. I have nothing to add to this except to say that my recall has been giving me such a run for my money, that I'm just thrilled to read through this because it has reminded me what I can try to do to bring it back. Isn't it just like ....

Avatar m tn I've read about this recall and seen it on the news. It has to do with mold.

Avatar f tn I heard on the news that alot of the calls from toyota owners had nothing to do with the cars on the recall list. I have one and that does not make me feel warm and fuzzy! Now its the prius and the lexis? My husband said the problem with the brakes sticking is that they changed the system from a rod to a sensor. The sensor is malfunctioning. I think they call that Progress?

1999115 tn?1332265324 t gone to my doctor yet. a couple of my girlfriends told me they had a recall on mirena ..
Avatar f tn I would like suggesting having a recall sticky thread in the pregnancy and maternal & child forums. One of the forum regulars in Pregnancy 18-35 posted a recall about a crib, I would have never heard about the recall if it wasn't for her. Not every parent has a source of information to get recalled items, and I think it would help a lot of new parents or parents in general if we could have a sticky thread for rcalled infant and children products.
Avatar m tn Does anybody know or know where i can find the definition of euphoric recall?
