I may have missed a few on this, but while reading it, I became
concerned as to how many of these drugs are still being taken by
silipeople and that the capsules, especially gel caps are still made
of silicone products.

Note the Chemical Damage..........
From the start, I said that this litigation should havew been tried on
that rather than disease. It now makes me wonder, if all silipeople,
who do not qualify for the current or past settled, may not qualify
for this?

I am surprised Neurontin isn't on the list. Carrol had a serious
problem with Baycol and ended up in the hospital with what looked like
a heart attack. When they announced the recall of Baycol, I searched
the net and every symptom he had in the hospital was on the list.

I took Propulsid for awhile and a local lawyer called me about the
class action. At first he said he was taking my medical file to New
Orleans to be examined by the "specialist" who was working on the
medil records for the class action. Then, before he even left for his
trip, he sent my papers back to me and said I didn't qualify. I still
wonder if the reason I didn't qualify is because I asked his secretary
if the attorneys were agreeing to settle on only one thing and perhaps
there were other serious issues that were not being released to the
public. According to his staff, the problems had to exist while you
were taking Propulsid. As far as I can remember, no one on the
doctor's staff asked me at the time about any problems with the
medication.

We should ALL make a diary of when we start new meds and any
complications we see. Call the doctor on each new bump, rash, or ache
and do***ent it. Then if he doesn't do***ent it, at least you have
your own notes.
