Broken Marriage Engagement Due To Vaginal Mesh

Written by Vaginal Mesh Helpline on . Posted in Vaginal Mesh Stories, Vaginal Mesh lawyers

1000′s of women nationwide have had their lives seriously altered due to the vaginal mesh. The vaginal mesh has caused  their  live’s to become a physical and psychological downward spiral. We have spoken to women with complications that would make anyone outraged at these manufacturers. Women have lost jobs, careers, husbands , boyfriends and fiancees. Below is one women whose future went up in smoke.

AMS Transvaginal Mesh Victim Says Engagement Is Off

May 4, 2013, 10:30:00AM. By Jane Mundy

Seattle, WA: Debbie says that her engagement is off because of her American Medical Systems (AMS) transvaginal mesh implant. “I haven’t been able to have sexual activity with my fiancé without both of us experiencing pain and I don’t blame him for breaking off our engagement,” she says.

Debbie (not her real name) had the AMS transvaginal mesh implanted to treat urinary incontinence. But that has now become the least of her problems. “For the past year or so, I’ve had chronic pelvic pain, which is getting worse, and recurring bladder infections,” she adds. “Because of the inability to have sexual intimacy with my fiancé, I am also suffering from depression and weight gain – this transvaginal mesh has caused my life to become a physical and psychological downward spiral.

“Not only is my overall health suffering, but I am also in financial straights due to all the time I have missed from work, getting tests and lab work and trying to find a doctor to take out this mesh – I don’t think that my doctor knows what to do.”

Debbie knows the mesh has to be removed but at the same time she is frightened at the thought of more surgery.

In March 2013, a New Jersey Superior Court jury awarded Linda Gross, a registered nurse, and her husband, Jeff Gross, $11.1 million in compensatory and punitive damages ($7.76 million in punitive damages) in the first transvaginal mesh trial in the country. (In re Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, Master Docket No.: ATL-6341-10, Case No. 291.) At the six-week trial, Ms. Gross, age 47, testified that she had 18 subsequent unsuccessful revision procedures following her initial transvaginal mesh surgery.

Ms Gross said that the transvaginal mesh had made her life after surgery a “living hell,” and she has characterized herself and thousands of other women who were implanted with TVM as “guinea pigs” to the vaginal mesh manufacturers. Her attorneys argued that Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon deserved to be held financially responsible to the fullest extent of the law for their actions. The jury agreed, and found that the gigantic drugmaker failed to provide adequate warnings. Further, they determined that the TVM maker intentionally committed fraud against Linda Gross regarding the transvaginal mesh.

An American Medical Systems TVM lawsuit was filed on January 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division (Case No. 2:13-cv-01083). This suit is just one of a multitude of lawsuits pending in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) entitled In Re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325).

You Must file your vaginal mesh lawsuit right away. Many states with 2 year statutes will be up July 2013.

Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits Updates, Coloplast Tolling Agreement

Written by Vaginal Mesh Helpline on . Posted in Vaginal Mesh News

Vaginal Mesh Helpline brings you the latest news in the vaginal mesh lawsuits. Vaginal mesh lawyers are in the process of discussing tolling agreements. Ladies, this is very good news. That means the statute of limitations for filing your mesh lawsuit could be waived.

What Is A Tolling Agreement?

There is a statute of limitations  effecting your vaginal mesh lawsuit.  This  means many of you can lose the right to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit  in court after a certain amount of time has passed. Occasionally, it benefits both the plaintiff and the defendant to extend that period of time or waive it entirely. This is where a tolling agreement comes in. It is a legal document that affirms that both parties wish to dismiss the statute of limitations. So far, Coloplast has entered into such an agreement and we have hopes that other manufacturers will follow. States with 2 year statutes would be up in July and the one year states are done. This opens new hope for the women who may have been left out.

At the March 21 status meeting for the five vaginal mesh multidistrict litigations (MDLs) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, counsel for the defendant mesh manufacturer Coloplast (MDL No. 2387) indicated that his client has entered into a “tolling agreement”—a contract providing that, until after an agreed upon date, the potential plaintiffs will hold off filing suit and the defendant will suspend the running of the statute of limitations. This is done by the corporations in the hope that something will happen during the agreed upon suspension time that is favorable to the ladies filing vaginal mesh lawsuits.

Other Mesh Manufacturers  Response To This

  • Manufacturer C.R. Bard (MDL No. 2187) indicated that  they are  not interested in entering into such an agreement.
  • Ethicon appears to be  is “willing to consider” a tolling agreement for mesh MDL Lawsuits.

It is important to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit without delay.

Coloplast Mesh Victims

Vaginal Mesh Helpline is launching a national campaign to reach all women with a Coloplast Vaginal Mesh who may have been turned away by a law firm due to statute of limitation issues.

Vaginal Mesh Helpline Expands Scope to All Drugs and Devices Harming Women

Written by Vaginal Mesh Helpline on . Posted in Mirena IUD Help, Vaginal Mesh News

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the leading support for women nationwide with vaginal mesh complications needing medical, legal and general information regarding the various Prolene mesh that has been  implanted inside them for prolapse and urinary incontinence. As awarenes grows it appears that pharmaceutical companies are targeting women for many of their medical products. Many of these later have new FDA warnings and result in severe complications and fatalities for women. The newest is the Mirena IUD In response to the need a nationwide Mirena IUD helpline has been launched as a part  of the dangerous drugs and devices harming women  awareness campaign.

Nationwide Mirena IUD T.V lawyer ads are starting to pop up.  With this education and awareness for women, we expect 1000's of Mirena IUD lawsuit questions coming  and the calls are beginning to come in to our helpline. Lawsuits on behalf of women who have had the Mirena gravitate from the position of implantation and become embedded in the uterus have begun. Perforations and other complications are the result of this movement of the IUD. Wome are once again the target and must stand up for justice.

The Mirena IUD  is a small, t-shaped, plastic  birth control IUD that is inserted into the uterus. It prevents pregnancy by releasing a low dose of levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestin hormone) directly into the uterus. Mirena was approved in 2000 as a contraceptive, and its approval was expanded in 2009 for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding for women who desire to use an IUD as contraception. In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals after the agency found that one of its Mirena promotions overstated the positive uses of the device and minimized its risks. Among other things, the Mirena FDA warning letter cited marketing claims emphasizing  Mirena will improve a woman’s sex life and help her “look and feel great." Bayer is known for it's advertising to women for freedom with their contraceptive products as we saw the same thing with Yaz. Yaz now has 1000's of lawsuits filed for blood clots and Bayer has begun the first round of settlements for Yaz.

The Mirena is a device oriented toward women and harming many women. Call our Mirena IUD Helpline today and speak to a female social worker. We are particularly interested in women where the device has moved, become embedded in the uterus and resulted in uterine or organ perforation.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is concerned about all drugs and devices harming women. We must have justice and the rights of women must be protected.

 

Transvaginal Mesh Helpline Discusses the Transvaginal Mesh and The TransVaginal Lawsuits

Written by Vaginal Mesh Helpline on . Posted in Vaginal Mesh Stories, Vaginal Mesh lawyers

A transvaginal mesh is just another name for a vaginal mesh or a bladder sling, They are all Prolene mesh inserted through the vagina for organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. If you have been implanted with a prolene mesh it is a polypropylene Knitted Mesh which is   composeed of monofilament yarns, which were  engineered for the manufacturing of textile fabrics.These are used for hernia mesh , stress urinary bladder slings, and transvaginal prolapse supports.  Polypropylene mesh is marketed under the name Prolene by Ethicon.  Transvaginal polypropylene mesh is  used in the support of pelvic organ prolapse amd urinary incontinence to reinforce a weakened vaginal wall or pelvic floor muscles and ligments that can no longer serve as an organ support system. Great in theory, but not holding up in many women.

The Transvaginal Mesh Problem

It is now shown that the vaginal mesh used by urologogical surgeons, urogynecologists and gynecologists to repair pelvic organ prolapse, cystocele or rectocele and to treat urinary incontinence has serious complications. The manufacturers appear to have been less the honest about the potential complications then they lead us to believe and women are filing lawsuits to obtain compensation for their injuries. The trial dates have been set and the proceedings have begun as part of a massive multi district litigation. Deposition date are being set and the long road to win compensation for injustices to women has begun.

One of the big  problems for women has been finding doctors who understand the nature and scope of the problem and are willing to help women with mesh removal. This mesh was supposed to be permanent.We have been told  that doctors have been insensitive to women  and telling them that estrogen creme will fix the problem  or that their problems are mostly in their head. However, we hear from husbands as well and stories od  the breakup of marriages due to inability to have sexual intercourse. This is not in these women's heads. It is very real and causing severe psychological distress and in some cases even thought of suicide.  If you have the symptoms described on this site realize we have heard from 100's  just like you, The transvaginal mesh injury is real and the complications are real. Nodody can deny the horror stories and some doctors are beginning to come forward and help. It is just so long that this can be denied as thousands are suffering.

The Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

The trannsvaginal mesh lawsuits have begun and thousands of women from Miami to Houston and From Dalls to Los Angeles and from Phoenix to San Fransisco and NYC to Hartford and Boston and Baltimore and Philadelphia and nationwide are seeking transvaginal mesh help and information. They want to know how to choose a transvaginal mesh lawyer and if they can still file their lawsuit. They hope to get answers to questions like: What does the statute of limitations mean? Why did my doctor not know about the warnings? Why did the manufacturers do this to us and why did the FDA allow it? Has the mesh been recalled yet and if no, why not? Why am I re prolapsing and bleeding  and  why do a feel like razor blades are piercing my insides? What is this I feel in my vagina? it feels like pieces of plastic. They call hoping to get answers support and help. We attempt to locate and doctor and connect them with a transvaginal mesh lawyer. The lawsuits will proceed and we do not want any wowmen with injuries to be left out.

There are so many questions with so few answers as to why the FDA still has not recalled the transvaginal mesh. But, all they can do is file the lawsuit and hope the voice of justice will be heard.
