Dear
Lloyd,
I
was given your email from a message board. Boom told
me that Shering-Plough was indicted on criminal charges
due to their conduct on research of Peg/Intron. Also,
that there is a class action law suit being brought up.
My
husband and I most definitely want to be a part of the suit.
Could you please inform me of the law firm involving
this case? I want to talk to them and become involved.
My husband started taking Peg/Intron along with Amantidine
which he was involved in a study of about 1000 people that
was conducted at Baylor Hopsital in Dallas, TX. He
had some of the best doctors in the nation reviewing his
case. However, it did not help. He literally
went crazy. He was sent to several psychiatrist and
was put on all kinds of meds, but they did not work.
He wasn't crazy it was the interfuron that effected his
mind. He was having delusions and hallucinations.
To name a few, he thought he saw little red flowers
dancing on the lawn. He also saw a horses head on
the dashboard of his car on his way home from work.
He became suicidal. Memory loss, fatique, tremors,
insomnia, depression, the list goes on. He became
so out of it he did drugs (crack). He has finally
got off of that after about the last six months from hell
of him sneaking out, stealing, etc. I finally called
the police on him because I knew he was a danger to us and
himself. He started Peg/Intron After New Years Eve,
at month 3 he tested negative for HepC which was good, but
around month 4 or 5 had to be taken off, because all the
doctors concurred that the meds where more of a danger to
him than the benefits of the med's.
It's
now November, almost a year later. And he is finally
starting to feel normal, he still has mild tremors and combatting
depression. Hopefully the job he has now will remain
steady. He was unable to keep a job for months.
Another incident that happened while on meds was that he
almost died from blood poisoning from an ingrown hair on
his arm. His resistants was so low that he was in
the hospital for over a week with four specialist overseeing
him.
Anyway,
I would like any information you have. We are all in this
together, and I want people to be informed so that hopefully
not very many more people will have to suffer the way we
did and the way so many are still suffering.
Thank
you,
C.
