This (my story is linked below) is part of my story.
The part that didn’t make this news story is how, thanks to tort reform of the late 90s, class action lawsuits are a thing of the past.
All we (the harmed patients) have now is MDL, which means you file suit & get put on a shelf BY THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM ITSELF for 10-20 years, while JnJ/Medtronic/Bauer/Stryker/Glaxo/etc waits for you to die.
Endings like what you saw in Erin Brockovich & The Rainmaker simply can’t happen anymore. Tort reform made sure class action went away.
Also the other thing this story didn’t have time to cover was how the science/research has been absolutely bought by the Pharma industry.
I learned that by sitting in on two trials in Dallas, TX... to try to learn the truth about my devices & why my health ranked so dramatically after I got them.
These were other people’s trials I attended, as I searched for the truth... civil bellwether trials over legal claims made against JnJ over my same hip devices.
The science used to sell my hips created out of lies... fraudulently conducted “research,” that had been covertly funded by JnJ dollars, run through sham 501(c)3s, which are the vehicle Pharma uses now to hide the money trail.
Run your money through a nonprofit, & nobody will ever know it was YOUR money that funded the “science” that concludes your product is “99.9% safe & effective.”
Dennis Paustenbach did JnJ funded work too that “concluded” cobalt doesn’t affect the human body until it reaches 300ppb. I was bat-house CRAZY when my cobalt was only 4.0ppb, & my friends were having seizures at .9ppb & in heart failure at 100ppb. So I looked up good ole Mr. Paustenbach... & I’m sure you know what I found out about him. Another industry shill who produced research saying the chromium PG&E let get into the water in Hinkley, CA didn’t cause all those people’s cancer...
I'm sure you all know there are several books about the Doubt Science/Product Defense industry and all their wicked ways of twisting the science. _Doubt is Their Product_ and _The Triumph of Doubt_ are both by David Michaels... very good books... all about Mr. Paustenbach and his buddies at Exponent/CardnoChemRisk and all the other sham research firms (mercenary researchers). What pieces of work all these clowns are. I have dreams of running into Mr. Paustenbach someday... I remember reading about Paustenbach, sitting in a hot tub he claimed was full of chromium containing water... a stunt he pulled to try to convince the media that PG&E was innocent. Oh how I'd love to see video of the shenanigan he pulled regarding the PG&E chromium water. Turns out he's sold himself our to PG&E, as well as J&J, Ford (asbestos brakes) and Big Tobacco, among others.

I along with 100,000+ women here in the USA were irreversible harmed by a TOXIC Permanent Polypropylene Transvaginal Mesh Medical Device used to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Incontinence and other Pelvic Organ issues. 61+ TVM Devices were Fast Tracked to Market by the FDA's 510k Premarket Submission Policy Predicated on the 1996 Boston Scientific ProteGen TVM that was Recalled in 1999. This Mesh Debacle is filled with the stuff a full feature film is made from. Just look at my Twitter and Facebook Pages. I have several, but I am not the only one! There are Mesh Survivor Support Groups all over the world. For more than two decades the world's Mesh Injured have been treated as an ERROR that does not Exist! Help is very hard to find! It's a Hell of a Journey and I'll never understand how something that can go so terribly wrong can be right? Its a Meshed Up World - Live Life Mesh Free - There is NO Safe Mesh - Mesh Awareness -Janis Kay Urban
We ladies here in Australia are also suffering from this terrible product. Thousands have been implanted and then abandoned by the very government who allowed it to be used with no independent testing. Now we are being refused specialists appointments because they are all scared of the repercussions of a device they put in us. My device was altered when it was implanted and I have no recourse at all because there isn’t any doctor in Australia with enough knowledge on the mesh removal to be part of a legal case. I had to travel to the USA for removal at my own cost.
Thank you for your important work! I am recently experiencing severe pelvic cramping and random vaginal bleeding. I’m worried these symptoms and a myriad of others ( a 20 pound weight loss, daily GI upset and loss of appetite) are related to my implanted essure device. Hoping there are still active essure patient resources out there to help me figure out if this device is causing my current heath issues.
I need advice?? A failed styker-ortho hip disintegrated in my then 57 yr old body in 2019 within 3 months. In 6 months I had severe symptoms and NO one would check my blood levels or listen to me. Not the surgeon, or promary care doc, or the ER or walk-in clinic. I diagnosed myself, found a new surgeon, after calling The New England Baptist Hospital Advocacy line. She gave me the head of Joint Replacement. Within 5 minutes of meeting him he said I was being poisoned and was a full reconstructive hip replacement candidate and it should be done asap. The saddest part for me is paying all these bills AGAIN and am on my 3rd attempt with a large Boston law firm to find out what type of case I have other than MDL. Supposedly the attorney I chose this 3rd time was because she has won Stryker cases in the past. About to fire this one too and call the MA Attorney General’s office.

Consumer Professional FAQ
In Summary
Commonly reported side effects of ciprofloxacin include: pyelonephritis, arthralgia, and musculoskeletal signs and symptoms. Other side effects include: myalgia, and pain. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects.
For the Consumer Applies to ciprofloxacin: oral powder for suspension, oral tablet
Other dosage forms:
intravenous solution
Warning
Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, are associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions that have occurred together, including tendinitis and tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and CNS effects. Discontinue ciprofloxacin and avoid use of fluoroquinolones in patients with these serious adverse reactions. Reserve use of ciprofloxacin for patients with no alternative treatment options for an uncomplicated UTI. Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, may exacerbate muscle weakness in persons with myasthenia gravis. Avoid in patients with known history of myasthenia gravis.
Increased Risk of Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection After Fluoroquinolone Intake.
Systemic and inhaled fluoroquinolones may be associated with an increased risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection (especially in older patients).
Conditions predisposing to aortic aneurysm and dissection include: family history of aneurysm disease, preexisting aortic aneurysm and/or aortic dissection, other risk factors/conditions (e.g., Marfan syndrome, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behcet's disease, hypertension, known atherosclerosis/peripheral atherosclerotic vascular diseases, elderly).
Recommendations:
Use fluoroquinolones in patients at risk for aortic aneurysm and dissection only after careful benefit/risk assessment and after other therapeutic options have been considered.
Avoid prescribing fluoroquinolones to patients with/at risk for aortic aneurysm; prescribe fluoroquinolones to such patients only when no other treatment options are available.
Advise patients to seek medical attention in an emergency department immediately if sudden-onset severe abdominal, chest, or back pain occurs; stop therapy at once if patient reports symptoms suggestive of aortic aneurysm or dissection." .... Antibiotics Avelox, Cipro, And Levaquin Can Cause ...
In recent years case reports by doctors and patients have linked Cipro, Levaquin, and Avelox with peripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage. The popular antibiotics Avelox (moxifloxacin) Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), all in a class of drugs called “fluoroquinolones”, are commonly used for a variety of community and hospital acquired infections.
Levaquin, Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and/or Moxifloxacin (Avelox) Fluroquinolone antibiotics are regularly prescribed to Americans each year to assist in the treatment of everything from urinary tract infections to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases."....
I am a victim of emplantation of a device I’m not allowed to mention as well. 35 symptoms, surgery to correct first surgery, medical bills not being covered and not getting compensation deserved. I was lied to and conned into getting it. I no longer have faith in doctors as they get payouts in pushing these devices. Losing faith in humanity day by day. 😢
I wish I could speak openly on media regarding my experience with a device mentioned. Unfortunately, I can not. We've been disregarded, disrespected and used. This entire situation is enough to make anyone want to just die.
5 years ago, my Paragard split into pieces upon removal. The removal was painful and traumatic, resulting in having to schedule a surgical removal with sedation. This cost a lot of money. I just delivered my baby girl, a miracle child we waited years for. My body can't handle another pregnancy. Now I am faced with dreaded birth control decisions again, and I'm terrible with pills.
Congrats on your miracle baby! And yes, this is why we work so hard to keep people educated so you can make a choice that works for you and your family with all the info.
Thank you for doing this important work. I sure hope you investigate breast implants next. BII, breast implant illness.
