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).

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.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline continues it it’s mission to inform about all dangerous drugs and devices harming women. It appears that even the recent hip replacement recalls effect women more then men. When will women stop being the target of these manufacturers? The vaginal mesh has caused severe injury. Just today we received a call from a woman about her mother of 76 who must wear a colostomy bag after mesh removal. And now the FDA reports that these metal on metal and metal component hip implants  put women at a higher risk. Both the Stryker Rejuvinate and ABG II are  dangerous surgical implants that have a greater failure rate and complications for women.

Many articles and reports have been released that discuss hip replacements having a greater failure rate in women.

Hip replacements like Stryker Rejuvinate and ABG II are slightly more likely to fail in women than in men, according to research published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.  The research was financed by the Food and Drug Administration. Another report discusses hip resurfacing and states a drawback for women because of the bone weakening that accompanies menopause. Meanwhile, even advocates of resurfacing acknowledge that they have yet to agree on how best to screen women for the procedure.

“We were surprised by the results, as studies suggest that larger heads should have  lower wear and a lower risk of dislocation. However, we have seen an increase in revisions for pain and loosening, particularly in women,” says Alison Smith, a study author and statistician at the University of Bristol in the U.K. Depending on patient age and implant head size, the revision rate for all-metal hips is three to four times higher in women and two to three times higher in men compared with other implants.

The FDA Reports Women At a Higher Risk For Failure

The Food and Drug Administration, along with its safety communication, has included a list of risk factors that can increase a patient’s chances of suffering from metal on metal hip implant complications. Patients who are overweight, female, or physically active are more likely to suffer complications related to these hip replacement systems, and patients who have a sensitivity to certain metals, have kidney failure, have a suppressed immune system, or take corticosteroids are also more at risk.

It seems women are always the victims for these manufacturers that choose profits over warnings.

Hip Replacement Failure More Likely In Women, Study Says Studies on Google News Today

Hip replacements are more likely to fail in women than in men, but the overall risk of implant failure is low–according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, and that was funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Women account for the majority of the more than 400,000 patients who undergo either full or partial hip replacements in the U.S. each year.

“This is the first step in what has to be a much longer-term research strategy to figure out why women have worse experiences,” said Diana Zuckerman, president of the nonprofit National Research Center for Women & Families.

It appears the smaller frame and difference in the curve of the hip and pelvic region accounts for this. Anatomy appears to play a role.  Women tend to have smaller joints and bones than men, and so they tend to need smaller artificial hips. Devices with smaller femoral heads  the ball-shaped part of the ball-and-socket joint in an artificial hip are more likely to dislocate and require a surgical repair.

I wonder why there cannot be two types of replacements, one for women and one for men. But, since they are all being recalled it would just mean more injured women. I am sure there would be extensive marketing to hook women in explaining how their lives would remain active and have a better quality. If you or a wife, mother, girlfriend or female loved one has been injured by these hip implants contact us and we will direct you to a Stryker Hip Replacement lawyer.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline announces the mesh trials have begun. Mesh lawyers are filing mesh lawsuits in droves. The quantity is increasing daily. Soon we will see justice. We all know the monetary compensation will never be enough for the agonies I have heard from our callers but, it is a first step. The FDA has not removed the mesh from the market even to this date. We must send a message to these mesh manufacturers.

We will keep you posted on the  mesh lawsuit  with mesh trial updates

Many  makers of Mesh Implants have faced their first jury trials and the outcome was seven figure jury awards for women victims these cases. Mesh implant manufacturers face a large number of mesh lawsuits. We also want to remind women, if you have had the mesh removed you should get the mesh for preservation.

we have been listening to women for months about their mesh complications. Remember a mesh is a mesh:

Transvaginal Mesh,  or pelvic mesh, or  bladder sling, whatever product you want to call it, it is a Prolene mesh. The goal of our mesh helpline has been to reach any woman who has suffered a severe injury as a result of complications with a mesh Implant and help them file a  Mesh Lawsuit. In addition, husbands, children,and family  members of women may sue for wrongful deat and loss of consortium.  We want to hear from you.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the source for women injured by a Prolene mesh device bringing news support, updates and helping women locate a vaginal mesh lawyer and doctor. With women being the target of so many of these dangerous drugs and devices they have expanded their mission to contact and help all women with complications from the Mirena IUD. The device has been shown to have very serious complications including the fact that it may gravitate from position and become embedded in the uterus or a nearby organ, This results in uterine perforation and the Mirena must be surgically removed. The Mirena has the potential of causing permanent injury and become the next pandemic harming women.

The Vaginal mesh Helpline’s new Mirena IUD Helpline has one goal. We want to reach all women with Mirena IUD Injury and help them file a Mirena IUD lawsuit and adverse incident reports with the FDA. Once there is enough a class action lawsuit in the form of a multi district litigation can be formed and the Mirena can move into the same proceeding we see with the vaginal mesh. The mesh lawsuits are in the bellwether trial stages and it is thought settlements will be seen by the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.

More importantly we must protect women and get justice and send a message to these manufactures.  The Mirena IUD is manufactured by Bayer the same manufacturer of Yaz, Yaz I s now settling for blood clot injury in women. All the mesh manufactures have previous faulty drugs or devices once or still in litigation.

The first round  Mirena IUD  Outreach is  projected reach the following cities within the next few weeks: New York, N.Y., Los Angeles, Calif.,  Chicago, Ill., Houston, Tex., Philadelphia, Pa,. Phoenix, Ariz,. San Antonio, Tex., San Diego, Calif., Dallas, Tex., andSan Jose, Calif.,
