DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW OF ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST BAYER FOR THEIR TOXIC DRUG AVELOX??
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS! I REQUESTED THE FDA(FOIA) IN WRITING TO SEND ME ALL DATA RELATED TO AVELOX ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS(AERS). I RECEIVED A CD CONTAINING 6,900 REPORTS IN 2005!
BY NOW, THE REPORTS MAY HAVE DOUBLED! HOW CAN THE FDA IGNORE THESE FACTS?? SHAME ON THE FDA,BAYER AND ALL THE DOCS WHO STILL ORDER THISTOXIC DRUG,AVELOX. I ASSURE YOU,THEY ARE GETTING SOMETHING FROM THE DRUG COMPANY!
I WISH I COULD SUE THE FDA AS WELL AS BAYER FOR NOT PROTECTING US FROM WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED HARM AND EVEN DEATH! I WILL POST ANY DATA I CAN GET. PLEASE DO THE SAME. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

Disablednurse - Hello again,
This site does not always send my responses so here is my home email
burnsy133@verizon.net. Please let me know how you are now and if you reported your reaction to the FDA.MEDWATCH and BAYER.
I was given another contact by an Avelox victim who now has afib and heart failure!
We sent emails to Erin@Brockovich.com Remember the movie? Well, Erin,is a real person and she works for a lawfirm who specializes in class action lawsuits. I think Erin is my only hope at this point.
It can,t hurt to send her an email. Leave your phone contact info. She will call you for more info. That is truly good news.
Good luck Marlboro lady. Please use my home email to contact me. I no longer trust this site. I didn,t receive many emails from this site but i had left my phone email for people to contact me just in case.

Txfiero87 - I am currently on Avelox and I have severe pain in my right side, Burning in my back that made me drop to my knees and cry.
I then began to have severe chest pain. I called my doctor who refused to see me unless I paid more money to him. I just don't have it.
In the last 3 weeks I've spent nearly $700 after insurance on prescriptions and doctor visits.
No one seems to care. I'm having terrible chest pain, hip pain, dizziness, impaired judgement, and my vision is definately having problems. I'm a 35 year female with no problems until I took this.
I'm having carpal tunnel feeling in my wrists and pain in my legs. My legs hurt so bad when I stand up. When I pick my baby up I get really winded andfeel like passing out. I almost wrecked my car 3 times from muscle spasms and my distance judgement is off.
Anymore information you can help me, please email me directly- afameouspetty@usapathway.com. I don't mind emails from ya'll so anything you can help me with or just want to talk please email.
Thanks! I don't know what to do. I'm in severe pain. And every day something new comes up. Like this morning my eyes are yellowing.
Txfiero87 - I just posted and about 10 minutes later I went in the rest room to get ready for the day and my eyes are yellowing. OMG!! What do I do??? My doctor sucks... he won't see me.. .Guess it is back to the ER. OMG!

I have documentation by an expert toxicologist but no attorney to assist me in finding justice!

Dayxday - I didn't suffer to the extent of the other people who replied. However, I do have chronic tendonitis. The serious pain comes and goes, but I can't even hold my 8 lb. dog in my left hand! I can't imagine trying to hold a baby! Are there any lawyers in Maine, or even New England accepting cases regarding this poison? I really don't know where to turn. I had taken this junk before, strangely several times, before the very last time I took it when the chronic tendonitis occured.
Dayxday - forgot to add my e-mail. akbradstreet@yahoo.com. Let me know if there's anyone else in these areas, or for a lawyer referral. Thanks, dayxday.
Disablednurse - Write this down. This was on my private message mail.
Mstratton@strattonfaxon.com is handling avelox tendon injuries only.
I don,t know where they are located but send them an email.
I was told by a Philly lawfirm i should have filed my lawsuit in federal court,not state court. Delaware is a corporate state so now i have to try to transfer my suit to federal court. Good luck
My yahoo email is easier to use. Burnsy1339@yahoo.com

Ladolcevita82 - I was on avelox and I expirienced severe pain in my lower back, which I still am dealing with and now I am on Cipro and I am not sure that is going to help, I also had pain in my shoulder down my elbow and numbness in my hand. It made me mentally unstable, affected my balance, and made me very sad and anxious. I had chest pain from anxiety and panic attacks. I am more than willing to send this information but I live in NY. You can email me at Orion9930@yahoo.com
Jenn
Disablednurse - Jenn,
Cipro and Avelox are quinolones and BOTH are manufactured by Bayer!! If you can find a lawyer and an expert to prove damages,then file lawsuit in FEDERAL COURT not state!!! This is very important.
Question,why on earth did your doc prescribe Cipro after you had a serious reaction to Avelox? Sue the doc too!!! Docs have been so careless. The Learned Intermediary Doctrine puts all the responsibility on the prescribing doc. We have to educate our docs!!!
Good luck to you. Stay in touch.
Trudy
Disablednurse - Avelox victims,
I never heard from Erin Brockovich. Humphrey,s lawfirm sent me a contract but never returned my calls! I didn,t sign anything without speaking to an attorney in their firm FIRST!!
I,ll call a lawfirm in Philadelphia and ask if i can post their name and contact on this site. I thought i had finally found legal representation and was told my lawsuit had already been decided by the judge. Summary Judgement was granted for Bayer!! I was never notified! Bad news is i had 30 days to appeal to FEDERAL COURT. I found out last month,Septmber,that case was decided May 22!! I smell a Bayer rat!
I,ll post Philly attorney names and contact number if they agree to it.
Good luck to all of you and remember to avoid ALL quinolones!!
Trudy
Smik - If you received an answer please let me know. I've been searching as well with no luck. I agree with everything you said! You can contact me at miklics@comcast.net.
Sincerely,
Susan Miklic

Mhingu - I randomly found this site after searching for any lawsuits that may have already been pending against bayer. I am 22 years old and took only one dose of this medicine about 3 days ago. I began throwing up within hours and couldn't even sleep at night. I felt like I was having a prolonged panic attack and my heart was pounding. I finally got some sleep at around 5am. That morning I felt find but the panic attacks continued later in the evening. If it wasn't for my boyfriend I would have lost it. I got extremely disoriented and had strange thoughts...I was convinced I was going to die. Today is the first day I have not felt any of these side effects and I pray it stays that way. It amazes me that just one dose could effect me so much.
Barb2 - I took avelox last December. I had tingling in my left arm while I was taking it. I called my doctor who called the pharmacy. They said it was normal and to keep taking it. I disagreed and quit taking it that day. I had been on it for 6 days. About a week and a half to two weeks later I could not sleep at night. Then I started getting a stiff and painful neck. After that came headaches. Now my left shoulder aches. I have a stiff neck every day, some days are worse than others. I don't remember a black box label on the avelox. I don't believe this drug should be given for sinus infections which is what I took it for.I took a drug to help me and it darn near killed me. Barb2
Debmorley - I took Avelox a month ago and now I have severe pain in both my achilles tendons, so much so that it is very difficult to go up and down stairs or walk on any kind of incline. When I do these things it feels likemy achilles tendons will just wrip apart. Is there anything I can do? HELP
Bucknerr - Have a ruptured achilles tendon due to taking avelox requiring surgery next week. Is there a state of Washington attorney helping with these cases?
Disablednurse - Please call the Philly lawfirm and ask them to refer you to a reputable attorney in your state. The number is 1-215-731-9900 ext. 105. That extension is Dr. Howard Edelstein. He has been wonderful to me and actually returns my calls!! He will help is he can. It can,t hurt to get a phone consult at no charge!!!! Good luck and please keep me posted.

Lish89 - I was just prescribed this March 3 2010, for bronchitis & a sinus infection. At first it didn't seem to bad. But about 2 hours upon taking the medicine, I was so sick to my stomach, I couldn't eat, I had lost all appetite, and my stomach hurt like hell. I kept getting really bad hot flashes and was so hot, it was so uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep, which is very abnormal for me when I am sick, I usually sleep like a baby, but not after taking this. My legs then began to hurt me, I could barely stand. I was also very anxious, and so panicky, my heart kept racing randomly. And I had the most painful annoying headache the entire time. And after 24 hours of these symptoms, I was afraid to take my 2nd dose I called my doctor & he told me to immediately stop taking it, and that I may need to go to the ER if the symptoms persist. I then began doing my research on the drug, and I'm finding all of these horror stories. I'm so afraid of having damage do to this, and fearful of taking anything prescribed to me after this, I Have NEVER had a bad reaction to any medication. And now I'm scared to death.
If there is any information on class action lawsuits, let me know!
Michael12 - I was prescribed AVELOX for a Respiratory infection and one got stuck in my chest. I experienced esophageals spasm, Vomiting, and was rushed to the emergency room. Now I have had a headache for two months, a huge leasion in my chest and uncontrolable spasms. Doc says I may need emergency surgery but I am out of work with no insurance. HELP!
rubydoo95@yahoo.com.
Heidilondon - I too am a victim of this poison. I am 28 years old and was 100% healthy before taking this drug, I didn't even have a regular dr. I was given Avelox at a minute clinic in Maui and I haven't been the same since. The night I took the first dose I woke up to SEVERE pain throughout my entire body which sent me to the ER in the middle of the night. THe ER doctor said my blood work was clear of any infection (I was given Avelox for a staph infection) which means that I may not have even needed anything to begin with. I just wish so desperately that the minit clinic doctor would have tested my blood before giving me this horrible drug. I was in Maui for my wedding, back to the ER doctor though, so I told him that I had been prescribed Avelox and he said he couldn't believe that the other dr. had just handed that out because he said that Avelox is so powerful and dangerous and told me to get off of it right away.
I spent the days before my wedding completely disoriented and could hardly get out of bed my whole body felt like sharp elastic bands being stretched to their limits (I'm assuming tendons) and my muscles were so sore. I felt anxiety shortness of breath, and I was terrified. I have had terrible flare ups in my leg of soreness and swelling and hardly being able to walk on it. The doctors always do blood work to see if there is a normal white count and there is no sign of any infections. No one knows what to tell me. I retrace my steps and try desperately to remember anything I could have done to strain something and I just am at my witts end because no one knows what the hell is going on. Now my bloodwork is showing something is up with my liver maybe. What the hell is happening? I have had so much anxiety and dr. and ER bills this year that are ridiculous and I was completely healthy before. If anyone has any information on a class action lawsuit and how to get this shit off the market please let me know. you can email me directly at heidilondond@hotmail.com
thank you so much
Tracywill832 - I had a terrible reaction to this drug last Thursday and had to be taken to the E.R. immediately. If you find out let me know because I believe this needs to be taken off the market. I have been looking myself.
Lsyr3 - Lsyr3: I was given Avelox for the treatment of pneumonia and bronchitis and as a result was hospitalized for kidney failure and anemia. If anyone knows where I can find a lawyer willing to go after Bayer, please let me know: Lsyr3@netzero.net
Where is the FDA in all of this.....aren't they suppose to "protect the consumer".
Eaimee - EAimee - I went to ER with Bronquitis and Dr prescribe me Avelox. I have a severe reaction to this medicine. My eyes were all blood and swallen. My face, eyes tongue were deform. My tongue it barely fit on my mouth and it was all cut. I have difficulty breathing. It opens the cornea of my left eye and i have Karatitis and severe conjuntivitis in both eyes (Keratoconjuntivitis), I was totally blind for almost 2 months.

Thanks, EAimee.
Joe1234 - I had pneumonia for a couple months. The Doctor gave me Averlox on 4/4/11. When I complained of tremors and anxiety he checked the drug maker’s web site to see if these were listed side effects. He told me they weren’t related but were probably due to being weak and stress (my mother had just died). I finished taking the drug (7 total days). I am now suffering from depression, easily stressed which makes me studded and have terrible tremors causing my arms to wave around uncontrollably. I am taking valium. The doctor until now doesn’t think it is related to the drug. I saw a PBS News Hour Report on June 16, 2011 on the very same drug I am taking and how many other people are experiencing the exact same problems.

Lovebeingamom - Avelox gave me medication induced hepatitis. I'd taken it a few times before and been fine. I'm in if a class action starts. I have a 1 year old and the thought of not being able to care for him because of this was terrifying. Bayer knows this drug is dangerous or they wouldn't be warning doctors in Europe about this.
Zebra6459 - Bayer has a deal with Merck...so merck is the one u have to focus on...haven't found anything as of today...and lawyers do not want to touch...even the ones listed from u guys...heard there's a class action suit but cant seem to find...I died on 3/15/2010 from avelox...and was in hosp so was able to be brought back..still having problems...seeing therapist for ptsd...
Ginnyb - Hi everyone I am sorry for your suffering. My story is different after being in the hospital due to having 5 injections of cortisone in my back. Three days later I had very severe abdominal cramping which worsen and went up to my small intestines. I was given avelox and ended up with cdiff it destroyed my good bacteria. I can't find attorney that will take my case malpractice which cost alot of money and to prove it. I have it documented another attorney said there isn't a case until we have a complete diagnosis. Now I had a EGD (upper GI) they think it might be h-pylori bacteria. They took biopsys go for a 2nd colonoscopy Friday more biopsys from my cecum. This is like fighting a Giant.
Marychung - I'm suffering from tendonitis from Avelox as well. Dr Howard Edelstein mention that if it's rupture tendon due to Avelox then i can have a case but with tendonitis there will be no case.
Ginnyb - Hi Marychung I am sorry to hear that. It sounds like your Doctor caught it before it turned into a rupture. I probably would still speak with an attorney just to verify. Good luck.
Marychung - Actually i did the homework myself. I took several courses of Avelox. One during flu season of last year, the other one was at beginning of the month and the last Avelox treatment was 5/5/12. Doctors did not believe that the tendonitis was due to Avelox. They said it should be out of my body system already. So i did research myself. Thank god for internet, i finally found people that are in the same situation as me. I'm suffering from the side effect tremendously. Now i can barely walk, using only 2 fingers to type, both wrists with pain, shoulders pain etc... I felt really depressed cannot do what i like to do. I usually go to the gym 3 times a week. Now i can't even do that. :( And on top of that, i had to take a LOA from work. Will be cautions what doctor prescribe to me next time.
Revmargaret - I took Avelox 6 months ago and have had debilitating pain in my right knee along with Plantar /Facititis in both feet. It is not improving.
I can't exercise which I need to do.
Someone please tell me of a way to get relief from this.
It is VERY painful!
Rev. Margaret
Aj Silverton - I took only three Avelox poison pills and I don't feel well. My legs have constant pain that is about a 4 to 5 of 10 on the universal pain scale. I don't know what to do or what to take to relieve the pain. It's already 1 week and nothing has changed for the better. I'm also getting some tremors in my hands and neck. Right now I take glucosamine and a magnesium pill or a multivitamin at separate times.
What can be done?
