CeeJ Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Drumnut @ Jan 21 2008, 11:40 AM) Oh nice, just heard about this: GADOLINIUM Gadolinium is injected into the bloodstream to enhance MRI and MRA images Gadolinium can cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with kidney problems NSF is a debilitating, potentially fatal disease for which there is no known cure The pharmaceutical companies knew about the life-threatening side effects as early as April 2006 QUOTE The FDA ordered a black box warning in May 2007 for the labels of all gadolinium dyes Gadolinium is the active ingredient in several different brands of contrast dyes used to enhance MRI and MRA images. In April of 2006, reports began to surface that certain patients using gadolinium dyes were developing nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). NSF is a disease which causes a thickening of the skin, connective tissues, muscles and internal organs throughout the body. There is no known treatment for NSF, it becomes worse over time and can lead to death. At the Law Offices of Howard L. Nations, we represent people who have been injured by defective drugs or medical devices. If you or someone you know has developed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after undergoing an MRI or MRA, please contact our offices for a free case evaluation by one of our experienced pharmaceutical attorneys. www.contrastdye-lawsuit.com That really sucks. I think that the FDA better start doing their damn job. There are so many things out there that are used in other countries that they just haven't approved yet that can help us, yet they go ahead and approve shit without doing the proper research on other things. Talk to your doctor and have him take... More bloodwork. I know... More bloodwork is the last thing you want but you need to be checked for this. Try to keep your chin up honey.

Just received a call from the lawyers office, and I am now a litigant in the lawsuit. The fact that it's a class-action lawsuit, if they win, I'll get a piece of the settlement.

missionman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 My boss had a siezure on the job site years ago. It was kinda scarey cuz I didn't know what to do.

It was kinda scarey cuz I didn't know what to do. I called his wife and she came and got him. She said I did the rite thing. He was fine after that (that I know of) Most of the time, I wind up in the back of an ambulance, rushed to the hospital only for some Dr to tell me I just had a seizure. After that, I wind up with $3-$4000.00 in bills just to have some Dr tell me I just had a seizure. I must have over $100,000 in unpaid bills that are never going to get paid. I wish someone would just call to have me picked up, but most employers don't allow that. If you have a seizure on the job, it's normally company policy to call an ambulance weather you have insurance or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 My boss owned the company and the next day he said that WAS the policy. That's why his wife said I did the rite thing by calling HER. It was a fence company and we (just me and him) were installing a fence at an old abandoned factory with nobody else around. That's why I was so scared. If I would have called 911 I wasn't sure how to explain how to get to where we were. She knew how to get there. At the time I was freaking out. It was just a weird thing for a 19yr. old kid (at the time) to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
