Avatar f tn s newest post (I feel so badly for you, the stress of lawsuits is overwhelming on its own...) so I thought I should post because my story has changed a bit since I last posted and I am actually cautiously optimistic for the first time in a long time. My back story is that I was diagnosed with IGM in July 2011 after months of living with IGM without a diagnosis. I had many biopsies and then a partial mastectomy last July. I was treated with methotrexate and prednisone.
Avatar m tn The use of the antipsychotic medication Seroquel has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, pancreatitis and death. Thousands of Seroquel lawsuits have been filed throughout the United States by individuals who suffered severe and life threatening injuries.
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.

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 n tn Apparently an association has been found and some lawsuits are being successful. I got my first symptoms about two months after finishing the drug cycle. Just curious if anyone else experienced this with Accutane ?

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.
Avatar m tn Gulf war syndrome, spending time at places like Perris Island, getting 18 vaccines in one day, sometimes twice in a a few years, has led two lawsuits from MS and focal neuropathy patients who were diagnoed soon after these events. It raised eyebrows for me when I discovered that the cmpany that makes several of the disease modifying drugs are the same companies that made the vaccines the Army used during the years in question.
Avatar n tn It's probably due to your hormones regulating themselves after the mirerna removal.
