I took Avelox April 2008 and my life changed after taking the fir...

you are not alone in this. you have 2 years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Get copies of your visit to the prescribing doctor who ordered Avelox stating reason and if samples were given. Call the medical records dept. of hospital where you had pre-op exam with copies of your EKG and the interpretation. Didn,t the person performing your pre-op exam ask you what meds you were currently taking?? If they had, they would have known that AVELOX was the cause of the arrythmia that is frquently FATAL. Someone should have told you to STOP the AVELOX!! Get copies of your ER,ADMISSION,DISCHARGE SUMMARIES,VITAL SIGN RECORDS,EVERYTHING!! Get records from all the docs!! It is your right.
NOTIFY THE FDA AND FILE A COMPLAINT ASAP. YOU CAN EMAIL THE FDA AT FDAMEDWATCH.GOV. THEN NOTIFY BAYER PHARMACEUTICALS AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. THEY WILL MAIL YOU A CONFIRMATION LETTER AFTER TALKING TO YOU.
AVELOX CAUSED MY REACTIVE AIRWAY DISEASE/ASTHMA, AS WELL AS SEIZURE DISORDER. I FELT VERY DISORIENTED, HEART RACING,HIVES,PARALYZED THROAT,CYANOSIS ON DAY 3 OF AVELOX. I HAVE HAD MITRAL VALVE INSUFF. SINCE THEN..I WAS IN A "BRAIN FOG" FOR 1 YEAR THEN FINALLY BECAME ALERT ENOUGH TO ASK MYSELF, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME???
I STARTED RESEARCHING AND WAS APPALLED AT WHAT I FOUND OUT. i REQUESTED THE FDA(FOIA-FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT)
SEND ME ALL AVELOX DATA ON RECORD. THIS WAS IN 2005! I RECEIVED A CD CONTAINING 6,900 AERS(ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS) THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE BY NOW. THE DOCS KNOW HOW TOXIC AVELOX IS BUT STILL ORDER IT. THEY HAVE AN "INVOLVEMENT" WITH BAYER. WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT NO LAWYERS SEEM INTERESTED. FIND A LAWYER AND SUE THE PRESCRIBING DOC AND BAYER. I,M PURSUING THIS ON MY OWN. I DIDN,T SUE MY FAMILY DOC WHO GAVE ME SAMPLES BUT I NOW WISH I HAD BECAUSE HE IS INVOLVED WITH BAYER. I GOT COPIES OF HIS NOTES BEFORE HE KNEW OF MY INTENT TO SUE BAYER. HE WROTE AVELOX SAMPLES GIVEN,ALLERGIC REACTION TO AVELOX,DIFFUSE HIVES,LARYNGOSPASM,911 ER, STEROID INDUCED PYCHOSIS,STEROIDS WERE NEEDED BECAUSE OF SEVERITY OF REACTION. MY LIFE HAS ALSO CHANGED DRASTICALLY AND I AM A DISABLED NURSE! LET ALL VICTIMS PRAY FOR JUSTICETHAT WE SO DESERVE. SHAME ON THE FDA FOR NOT PROTECTING US FROM TOXIC DRUGS AND GREEDY DRUG CORPORATIONS.
I WISH I COULD SUE THE FDA! IF I FIND AN ATTORNEY,I WILL POST IT FOR OTHERS. PLEASE DO THE SAME.BURNSY133@VERIZON.NET
