Vaginal mesh helpline and Vaginal mesh lawyers would like to know what "the women of the Mesh" think about the FDA and the vaginal mesh warnings and an FDA vaginal mesh  recall.

Do you think the FDA is Acting fast enough to protect women against the vaginal mesh Complications ?

Do you think if the FDA had and does act faster you and other women would not be in the Vaginal mesh predicment you are in ?

Do you think doctors would still use the mesh if there were even stronger warnings?

Do you feel the Vaginal mesh should have been recalled years ago?

The  vaginal mesh helpline and our  mesh lawyers are very concerned about our "women of the vaginal mesh" And will fight for justice for you.

As a female medical social worker listening to hundreds of vaginal mesh horror stories I have my own opinion. And yet, despite the pain and suffering many women fear that if the mesh was removed the would  go back to " peeing all over themselves when they sneeze" and have a complete prolapse again". This is a story with many aspects to it. The vaginal mesh club is a new kind of club for women of the mesh to share their vrews and get support. Wew would like to hear from you.

•     Infections

Just What is this vaginal Mesh anyway. The vaginal mesh goes under many different names, transvaginal Mesh, surgical mesh, Bladder sling, TVT sling, prolapse mesh, vaginal vault, and many more. But a mesh is a Vaginal mesh is a mesh. This is a prolene synthetic vaginal mesh substance that doctors have surgicallt placed into women to secure a prolapsed uterus, Bladder , bowel or for urinary incontinence. The bottom line is they are a pandemic in their own right and women are suffering. 300,000 "women of the vaginal mesh" nationwide and so many of them with lives destroyed from the vaginal mesh. Some even have lost jobs and homes due to the vaginal mesh and a  mass vaginal mesh lawsuit is to be.

What is a prolene Mesh exactly ?

Prolene is a synthetic, monofilament, nonabsorbable polyproprlene . It is a synthetic substance ,made into a hammock and then surgically implanted ,usually thru the vagina, to secure weak organs and replace the natural vaginal muscle.

The vaginal mesh has caused severe problems including eroding thru the vaginal wall or into the bladder or bowel, severe unbearable pain, spot bleeding, relentless infection and an inability to have sexual intercourse.

Over 300,000 women ,it is stated, have vaginal mesh device implants to remedy various medical conditions and many are sueing the manugacturers in a vaginal mesh lawsuit. and vaginal mesh lawsuits nationwide. Hundreds of lawyers have vaginal mesh women as clients and the advertising by vaginal mesh lawyers is all over T.V and the internet. many wome realized theur suffering was from tje vaginal mesh when the saw a vaginal mesh lawyer's vaginal mesh lawsuot ad.

And what are the avginal mesh doctors doing about this? many are hiding records and telling women it is all in their heads. They tell them there is nothing wrong and it cannot be the mesh. Some wonderful doctors are helpling women remove the mesh and repairing the vaginal wall. It is a long journey of recovery and sometimes more then one surgery is needed for remaoval of the vaginal mesh

What About That Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit? Mesh Lawsuits are Being Filed

This is no fender bender. The vaginal mesh lawsuit is a mass tort that has injured thousands. The question has become what is the statute of limitations for your state and when did you know the mesh was causing the problem. hard to know when the doctors will not admit the mesh is the problem and are still putting them in after the FDa warnings of 2008. many lawyers are not accepting cases with statute of limitations issues or where there was no M.D to say it was the mesh causing the problem and it need to be taken out. One must wonder with all the warning and T.V why are these doctors still putting them in? Back to the vaginal mesh lawsuits. Thes are not class actions they are multi district litigations. You must not wait on this. You must get to a vaginal mesh doctor and retain a vaginal mesh lawyer right away. This is serious for your health and you must protect your vaginal mesh legal rights.

When injuries harm so many women it becomes impossible to have trials all over the country so the manufacturers and lawyers or what is known as lead counsels go in front of a panel of MDL judges who decide where the venue or multiple venues for ths federal vaginal mesh lawsuit will be. Many of them have been consolidated in West Virginia, others in N.J and Massachusetts. So the bottom line is a local guy may not necessarily  be your best bet but rather an attorney with experience in mass torts and MDL litigations. Most likely a local lawyer is going to ship your case to one of the main lawyers anyway. Once the cases are consolidated the lead counsel takes over.

You need a lawyer that knows How this process works not the local personal injury lawyer. Most MDLs involve a few dozen to a few hundred cases and require an attorney well versed in this process. Yiu want to be able to contact this law firm and know what is going on woth your vaginal mesh lawsuit and not hear that it went from here to there to there and well "we are not sure where it is now" or "we haven't figured out who to send it to" which is what one of my caller told me.

The vaginal mesh will most likely be in massive scope equal to the Dow Corning Silicone breast Implant class action or maybe the largest mass tort to date. Remember this vaginal mesh lawsuit includes both the husband and wife. They both have suffered thrun thos together hopefully. Call the vaginal mesh helpline about your vaginal mesh and get help with a vaginal mesh lawyer and vaginal mesh doctor.

At the vaginal mesh helpline we are collecting stories from all over the web. "Women of the Vaginal mesh". You are not alone. Husbands of the vaginal mesh you are with us as well. Get a vaginal mesh lawyer, discuss and vaginal mesh doctor and get support at the vaginal mesh helpline.

It is almost three in the morning.  I woke up suddenly, thinking I heard something.  I hobbled through to the kitchen, every step reminding me of the mesh in my body, but the house was quiet.  I put a cup of milk to heat in the microwave.  While it warmed I began thinking about the woman who sent me an email before I went to bed.  Another lost soul living in pain, unable to work and fighting our system.  Trying to get disability and medical care is not made easy for women with mesh in their bodies.  They fight pain daily and have to fight harder to get medical care, often without good result.
I checked my email to see if she had answered my question of which State she was in.  Nothing.  There was a story from a thirty-two year old woman who also has mesh in her body after a hysterectomy and can no longer care for herself or two children.  Another life on hold and broken.  Another family in serious trouble.  I then checked to see how a friend had done today with his fundraiser.  A fundraiser designed to help him and his wife try to save their lives and those of others.  Mesh is responsible.  Their house always close to foreclosure.  He is always struggling to make enough money to take his wife on a long road trip to the doctor.  Another two lives on the edge.  Another family broken on the brink of collapse.  I read his sad, broken words that the fundraiser was a wash.  Maybe it was because it was the Easter weekend.  Maybe it is the economy.  Who knows.  He felt beaten down.  He said they were worse off than before.  His words linger in my mind.  Mesh is responsible.

Today is Easter Sunday.  A holiday of joyful religious spirit for many.  A holiday for children to hunt and find eggs.  A Spring holiday with the promise of summer and carefree fun.  Not for everyone.  For those who have mesh in their body and the families who support them, there isn’t a lot to celebrate.  Each day is a struggle.  Financially, emotionally and physically.  It takes a toll on all who are exposed to the perils of mesh.

I hope this friend will bounce back tomorrow and not feel a failure.  I know he feels beaten and a failure as a man.  A man who wants to help his wife get well.  His spirit broken.

For all those who enjoy this spiritual holiday, there are many who can’t enjoy anything.  The endless pain racking their body and destroying the life they once knew.  Their family watching on the side lines unable to take away the pain.  Mesh is responsible.

When will the world take notice?

          Dangerous Drugs and medical devices Effecting Women. Discussion presented by Vaginal mesh Helpline  female medical Social Worker. The horrors of the vaginal mesh are beyond belief with so many stories of pain and suffering. But, a closer look takes us to a list of many drugs and medical devices harming women of all ages. Pharma seems to see women with dollar signs plastered to their heads. What we see and hear are women with lives destroyed and needing help and protection. Here goes the list of drugs and devices harming women. When you look at a senior population and  woman baby boomers , college students, wives, daughters and mothers effected it become a huge market of  women effected by what i call medical injustice.

The List

Amongest the medical devices and drugs harming women include :Bladder Sling, Mirena IUD, Vaginal mesh, Yaz, Yasmin, Fosamax, Topomax, DePuy hip replacement recall, Actos, Breast Implants, Tylenol, avaira toric contact lenses and others are harming women.
          It is amazing to me how many dangerous drugs and medical devices are having an effect on women. TheVaginal mesh Helpline hears from women thru-out the country regarding their horrific experiences with these mesh devices. Yet, there are so many other drugs and medical devices that are hurting women. The Mirena birth control device, Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella, The DePuy Hip Replacement, metal on metal hip replacements, Zimmer Duram Cup, Breast Implants, Cytotec, Topamax Mirena birth control device, Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella, The DePuy Hip Replacement, metal on metal hip replacements, Zimmer Duram Cup, Breast Implants, Cytotec, Topamax and others,
Mirena Birth Control device

Mirena Silicone IUD
          The Mirena Birth control device has caused amongst other side effects: Miscarriage, Risk Of Infertility, Intrauterine Pregnancy, Streptococcal Sepsis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Cervix, Severe Pain, Contraceptive Perforation and other side effects.
Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of the Mirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.
Bayer actually marketed Mirena as a way women could simplify their lifestyle. One of the ways it did so was through "Mirena Parties." Working with the social networking site Mom Central, Bayer created a Mirena direct marketing program that consisted of a series of house parties hosted by members of the Mom Central community. Bayer was eventually warned against this. The stories have heard and read regarding this device are horrific. The IUD is moving from it's original position and severing the uterus and nearby organs.
 

Cytotec (Misoprostol)
        It is estimated that in about 200,000 births in one year, Cytotec was used to stimulate delivery. This is where most of the problems with this drug, including birth defects have incurred. The purpose of the drug was for the prevention of ulcers, but it has also been used in abortions. Brain damage to infants is of particular concern.\

Yaz, yasmin Birth Control Pills
         Studies recently published in the British Medical Journal, which concluded that women ages 15-44 taking birth control pills containing the synthetic progestin, drospirenone, are more likely to develop blood clots deep in the veins of the leg (venous thromboembolism), than women using birth control pills containing the common progestin levonorgestrel. Blood clots can move and if they end up in the brain or lungs can be deadly.

 Yasmin and Yaz  have reported incidents of :

• Heart Attacks,
• Strokes,
• Cardiac Arrhythmias,
• Blood Clots,
• Deep Vein Thrombosis, (DVT),
• Pulmonary Embolism, (PE,
•  Death,

Topamax
          Topiramate, the generic form of Johnson & Johnson's anti-seizure drug, Topamax, is under fire from the Food & Drug Administration for its birth defect risks, Reuters reports. The medication is prescribed to patients suffering from epilepsy, and more popularly, to consumers with chronic migraine headaches. Topiramate has recently been combined with other drugs to battle obesity and bipolar disorder. More than 4.7 million prescriptions for Topamax were filled in the United States from 2007 to 2010, bringing in approximately $600 million worldwide last year.
 

FOSAMAX EFFECTS WOMEN
         The .Long-Term use of Fosamax has been shown to more then double the Risk of Femur Fractures Among Older Women.
An article in an issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that long-term use of Fosamax and other bisphosphonate drugs by older women more than doubles their chance of suffering femur fractures. This side effect is particularly disturbing in light of the fact that Fosamax and similar drugs are prescribed to strengthen the bones of women with osteoporosis.

                                      The trans vaginal mesh Continues to effect women and alter the lives of Women
Recent warnings have linked various birth control drugs and devices to serious injuries and even death. We have heard one horrific story after another. Women are suffering and crying over the phone while they no longer have money to pay for doctors to remove their mesh. They talk about tthe doctors hiding medical records and being lured by the pharmaceutical representatives. They talk of lives destroyed and marriages hurting. "When mommy hurts the whole family suffers" as one women told us.

Metal On Metal Hip Replacements like the DePuy and Zimmer
          Women are reporting more problems, and a higher failure rate, with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular hip replacement system than men. It turns out they're also more prone to some of the serious side effects of the poorly-designed implant, including metallosis.
Statistics show individuals with a small stature, such as women may be more susceptible to failure of DePuy ASR hip implants. Again we see women effected and mostly our senior population.

.
Dow Corning Breast Implants
Breast Implant Lymphoma
          In January 2011, The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) advised that women who had received breast implants should notify their doctors of any changes in their breasts because of a possible association with a rare type of lymphoma. In breast implant patients, ALCL has occurred in the scar capsule adjacent to the implant. Women are still involved in settlements with Dow Corning trust.

Women appear to be money mills for pharmaceutical companies that are not using appropriate warnings or testing.

The vaginal mesh has been creating complications of huge proportions in women in the United States. The Mesh can perforate the bowel. This is extremely serious as it can cause one to become septic  and lead to potential death.

Symptoms of a perforated bowel

Perforation of the intestine leads to leakage of intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity. This can cause a woman to become septic from bacteria.

Symptoms may include:

• Abdominal pain – severe
• Chills
• Fever
• Nausea
• Vomiting

Symptoms of Sepsis for the Mayo Clinic

Symptoms

By Mayo Clinic staff

Many doctors view sepsis as a three-stage syndrome, starting with sepsis and progressing through severe sepsis to septic shock. The goal is to treat sepsis during its mild stage, before it becomes more dangerous.

Sepsis
To be diagnosed with sepsis, you must exhibit at least two of the following symptoms:

• Fever above 101.3 F (38.5 C) or below 95 F (35 C)
• Heart rate higher than 90 beats a minute
• Respiratory rate higher than 20 breaths a minute
• Probable or confirmed infection

Severe sepsis
Your diagnosis will be upgraded to severe sepsis if you also exhibit at least one of the following signs and symptoms, which indicate organ dysfunction:

• Areas of mottled skin
• Significantly decreased urine output
• Abrupt change in mental status
• Decrease in platelet count
• Difficulty breathing
• Abnormal heart function

Septic shock
To be diagnosed with septic shock, you must have the signs and symptoms of severe sepsis, plus extremely low blood pressure. You must get emergency medical attention immediately.

Vaginal mesh Complications include:

Symptoms of Defective Vaginal Mesh Injury
Defective Vaginal Mesh Lawyers

If you have had surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI), your surgeon may have used vaginal mesh. Defective vaginal mesh can cause serious injuries and life-threatening infections. If you are experiencing symptoms of defective vaginal mesh injury, talk to your doctor immediately and contact our defective vaginal mesh lawyers.
Vaginal Mesh Injury Symptoms

Symptoms of vaginal mesh injury include:

•     Vaginal infections
•     Urinary tract infections
•     Foul odor from surgical area
•     continupus infections
•     bowel perforation
•     Fever
•     Feeling as if something is protruding from the vagina
•     Chronic vaginal drainage or discharge
•     Pain during intercourse
•     Chronic pain
•     Bleeding
•     Urine leakage
•     Recurring abdominal pressure
•     Lower back pain
•     Difficult bowel movements
•     Mesh erosion
•     Recurrence of dropped organs
•     Bladder outlet obstruction

Dangers of Vaginal Mesh Injury

These symptoms can indicate infection and/or perforation of organs such as the bladder or bowel. Vaginal mesh injury is a medical emergency. If treatment is delayed, the infection can progress to sepsis which is often fatal.

Possibly the most dangerous vaginal mesh injury is bowel perforation. Bowel perforation can lead to sepsis and death very quickly.

What is Sepsis ?

Sepsis is a condition in which the body is fighting a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream. If a patient becomes "septic," they will likely have low blood pressure leading to poor circulation and lack of perfusion of vital tissues and organs. This condition is termed "shock." This condition can develop either as a result of the body's own defense system or from toxic substances made by the infecting agent (such as a bacteria, virus, or fungus).

What is a perforated bowel ?

A perforated bowel is a medical emergency in which a hole in the bowel opens to allow its contents to empty into the rest of the abdominal cavity. The result is frequently sepsis or blood infection, which if not treated can cause almost immediate death. A perforated bowel can occur as the result of traumatic injury.

Symptoms of a perforated bowel include high fever  and nausea. Those afflicted will also experience extreme abdominal pain which worsens when one moves. Intense vomiting may occur and result in dehydration. These very serious symptoms need emergency treatment. Those experiencing these symptoms should waste no time in seeing by a doctor. If you are experiencing mesh erosion you must understand the the mesh can perforate the bowel. You must not delay in seeking medical attention.

Seek legal action

If you think your mesh is causing a bowel perforation see a urogynecologist to remove the mesh or have some kind of revision surgery.

FDA Mesh Warning

FDA Demands More Study

In January, the FDA ordered 31 manufacturers, including Bard and J&J (JNJ), to study rates of organ damage and complications linked to the vaginal-mesh implants.

According to regulators, the companies must conduct three years of studies on the devices’ safety and effectiveness.
