Avatar n tn But this time I am going to ask the GP to try for Gout immediately (VIOXX and/or Allopurinol for Uric Acid/Gout). I notice it seems to reoccur every 5 years. Advice appreciated?

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?
Avatar f tn There was no money exchanged or special consideration given to get Vioxx on the market. However, Vioxx is a good example of a study not digging deep enough into long term effects of a new drug. Vioxx was introduced in 1999 and was originally thought of as a treatment for polyps in the intestinal track.

The payments included speaking, consulting, meals, travel, gifts and royalties, but not research. To be sure, the data aren't perfect. Companies must report their payments to the federal government, and some doctors have found errors in what's been attributed to them.
Avatar n tn [2] A series of small-scale studies completed in Germany found that H. procumbens was indistinguishable from Vioxx in the treatment of chronic low back pain,[3] and was well-tolerated after more than four years of treatment of H. procumbens alone.[4] H. procumbens also seems efficacious in the treatment of arthritis-caused hip and knee pain.
Avatar f tn He can get his payments lowered. He has to talk to Cs and tell them what's going on.

This article on yahoo finance lays out how Social Security works and the types of payments people in the US receive, using people as examples and not just statistics. I thought this might be of interest to our non-US members in particular.... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/tightwire-act-living-only-social-154206642.

Avatar m tn This group of NSAIDs has the advantage of having fewer gastrointestinal side effects – less abdominal discomfort and less risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, than conventional NSAIDs. There are three different COX-2 inhibitors currently available to the public– Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra. COX-2 inhibitors have been associated with some liver dysfunction, although not as commonly as other NSAIDs. Recently, Vioxx has been removed from the market due to heart-related problems.
4254325 tn?1355663975 ll usually repossess it right away, like the first missed payment, for a bank, it depends on the bank, last year we got really behind on our truck like 4-5 payments, and we ended up having to put money down so they wouldn't repossess it, then make biweekly payments on it til we were caught up. If they do repossess it, it will likely just effect your credit score (if it's through a bank) I'm honestly not sure about the no check credit places.
Avatar f tn So I have an appointment on the 20th it's the one where I can't eat or drink anything after midnight. But anyways I have Cigna and I was trying to get Medicaid cause I have to pay 2500 before my son is even here and I can't afford 4 500 dollar payments right now but I applied for Medicaid and they said I don't qualify I don't work and I don't get unemployment or anything assistance from the government. What do I do??
Avatar m tn t stop the vics), that being aside, you should read the warning leaflet and decide for yourself if the side effects are worth it. I was given vioxx years ago, read the warnings about heart attacks and such, and threw them all in the trash! Not much later it was pulled from the market. If I lost a loved one, $$ isn't going to bring the back anyway, it's all stupid. If I do myself in, I guess I will come back and haunt the manufacturers....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........
Avatar n tn Is it common for the dentist to demand payment for the crown before he'll do the final cement? It is an outrageous $875. He should have told me that before beginning the work. The temporary crown broke. I'm laid off from surgery and my wife lost her job. We have been making payments of $100/month, but he won't do anything (not even a cleaning for either of us) until the bill is paid in full. Does this seem ethical?
Avatar m tn Hi. This is not something you can leave. Disc issues are extremely painful and, unless it is dealt with immediately, more damage will occur. Beg or borrow money from your family or friends, sell something to raise the cash or look up an animal charity to help. Also, ask the vet if they'll be happy for payments to be made by instalments. Anti-inflammatory drugs are likely to be needed as an interim measure, assuming the cause is a trauma.

1530342 tn?1405016490 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43570552/ns/politics-decision_2012/ While Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., has forcefully denounced the Medicaid program for swelling the "welfare rolls," the mental health clinic run by her husband has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000 for the treatment of patients since 2005, according to new figures obtained by NBC News.
Avatar f tn his ex warned him to never have kids with me or else she will make the payments go up... does she have power to do that? in pa wont his supports payments be reduced if he and i have a child? im so stressed about this girl.. i dont want to get involved but my income alone will not support us!!!
Avatar n tn The doc was the hardest bc she required the payments to be finished before delivery so my payments were high with her but everywhere else let me set my own payments. My daughter will be two next month and I've still got a year before I'll have the hospital bill paid off but i have the ultrasound and all the lab work paid off.
Avatar f tn In that same period of time, 490,000 people have died from prescription drugs, not counting the Vioxx scandal. That means that prescription drugs in this country are at least 16,400 percent deadlier than terrorism. Again, those are the conservative numbers. A more realistic number, which would include deaths from over-the-counter drugs, makes drug consumption 32,000 percent deadlier than terrorism. But the scope of "Death by Medicine" is even wider.
