Heparin Sodium and heparin

This is very near and dear to me-- my cousin's husband just died and they believe it was from contaminated heparin and on top of that, I am also a secretary at a medical malpractice firm and I have been talking to clients who have gotten very sick after using heparin. Sounds like all of you have experienced some side effects, but its hard to tell whether or not they were related to the other drugs or procedures that were going on. My first suggestion is to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. This stuff is bad news. I'm not a lawyer, but I work for lawyers that do this and I am in contact daily with the doctors and nurses that work for the firm. I would be more than happy to help if you have any legal questions. Just email me and I will do what I can.

3 days after initially receiving an injection of heparin i felt very ill on the 4th day i suddenly experienced severe muscle weakness and could not move; it felt like my body had gone in to shock. this happened several times over the next few days with episodes coming on very rapidly and taking between 2 and about6/7 hours to pass. i also experienced rapid mood changes and sometimes could not bear the feel of material on my legs - hypersensitive? Fortunately the heparin was discontinued after 3 days
