Comment on Class Action Over Pfizer’s Depo-Provera by Gloria

I guess to some degree that I have been lucky. I first started taking depo in 1991 after my last child was born. I had no side effects that I was aware of , if fact my Dr. said that I was one of only a few that could take depo. 15, yes, fifteen years later a new doctor took me off the injections and mentions that there might be some side effects of being the the drug for so long. That was four years ago, I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am having major hip problems. Today I found info on the web of these lawsuits. I contacted an attorney and he instructed me to get all my medical records for the past 19 years. I believe that I am just beginning to see the effects that taking this drug for so long has had on me. Good luck to everyone.

Dealing with my United Health Care/ Pacificare claims has been worse than I could ever imagine, the most grueling ordeal in my life. They denied most of my claims for prostate cancer treatment but eventually paid them after months and months of persistent follow-up. I still owe about $1,000 on bills declined because of out off network providers used during treatment. I received the notice on the class action lawsuit that appears to be a bad deal. It correctly identifies the fraudulent UHC practices I have encountered. If I am reading it correctly, I would receive payment -70% and then pay 20% to lawyers. So I would be reimbursed about $240 if I agree to the class action terms, nothing if I do not respond or can deny inclusion in the suite and pursue legal action at my own expense. So as I read it I would still owe $640.

I find myself cured of cancer but out of work with dismal employment prospects and ever dollar counts. If anyone has advise, are aware of any other class action lawsuits or lawyers that I could contact, please please please ….. let me know.

Thanks Much,

My niece is what they now call an “early gainer” — a skinny little girl who quickly gained 100 pounds on depo, and now has continual headaches. We will find out soon if she also has developed insulin resistance and/or bone loss. This drug has totally changed her life and from what I’m reading, the changes may be permanent. Frankly, Pfizer should suffer for what they are doing to the disadvantaged girls who go to low-cost clinics.

Comment on Judge OKs class action suit against tech school by Kashawn

I went to BCTI in Fife, WA. please give me info on how to get on the class action law suit. I used to work for a temp. service called Human Resources Inc. One of the recruiters that worked there said that she doesn’t even consider BCTI graduates for computer jobs, unless they have other training else where, cause they don’t have enough training to do the jobs and can’t do the stuff they were taught at BCTI. They have free classes for everything that BCTI offered to there students and I owe close to $10,000 for something I could have done for free. Plus people were graduating without finishing high school. Please contact me by email with info.

I just came across an article that ran in the NY Times on Jan 8, 2010 ‘Risks: Loss of Bone Mass Linked to Contraceptive’.

Here’s the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/health/12risk.html?fta=y

At least it’s finally getting some attention

Back in October of 2009 my then 2 year old daughter became ill and was breathing rapidly, coughing and wheezing we tried to let it run its course thinking it was viral but her breathing got worse so my husband took her to our primary care physician. She was struggling to breath so much that she grunted after every breath, her rib cage looked tight and she was wheezing. Our primary care physician did an exam, nebulized her (she used albuterol) then asked my husband to take her to the emergency room. This was at the height of the H1N1 outbreak that everyone (including myself) were terribly afraid of. I met my husband at the hospital entrance and when I removed my daughter from her car seat she vomited all over me. So the ER dr. performed some tests including the H1N1 test where they swab her nostril and send for a quick response test, it came back negative. He winds up diagnosing her with an upper respiratory infection and sends us home with a nebulizer. Well, my daughter never fully recovered and continues to cough and wheeze to this day. On Monday the 19th of April she was diagnosed with Asthma. United Healthcare refuses to pay the insurance claim for $961 because they feel the upper respiratory diagnosis was not a good enough reason to take our daughter to the ER. I informed them that our primary care physician instructed us to do this and that had we ignored my dr’s instructions and our daughter died, we could be held accountable for her death and potentially prosecuted for child neglect. Didn’t matter. They denied the claim twice, the second denial came after our primary care physician wrote UHC a letter explaining our daughters symptoms and what lead her to refer us to the emergency room. I’m more upset at the fact that I pay United Healthcare to provide health insurance to my family yet they refuse to honor their commitments. I want to start a class action law suit. I don’t know where to start but I’m sure there are other people out there just like us. UHC needs to be put in their place. LCastelly26@Yahoo.com
