Bayer agrees to settle Yasmin, Yaz Gallbladder lawsuits

At the Yaz Birth Control Pills Helpline we speak to mothers who have lost their daughters to Yaz. This evening I spoke to a mother in Louisiana who lost her 21 year old daughter due to a Yaz Bloot clot and Heart attack. This is a young 21 year old woman with her entire life ahead of her. I do not think there is any lawsuit that can mend that kind of anguish and pain. Yaz is a Birth control pill that many young college girls were taking. Yaz has been the central focus of lawsuits against the manufacturer Bayer for causing Blood clots, Pulmonary Embolism, heart attacks and strokes.  Mothers across america are filing lawsuits for their daughters who have either suffered the effects of Yaz or who are no longer here to tell their Yaz story.

Yaz and Yasmin both contain drospirenone, a new type of progestin that is not found in any other birth control pills in the United States other than generic versions. This unique “fourth” generation progestin has been cited as the likely cause of many side effects of the birth control pills in Yaz blood clot lawsuit and Yasmin blood clot lawsuit complaints filed against Bayer by women throughout the United States.

In a study published in August 2009 in the British Medical Journal, researchers found that pills containing drospirenone, such as Yaz and Yasmin, may increase the risk of women developing blood clots to 6.3 times that of women not on birth control. By comparison, women who took birth control pills with the older progestin, levonorgestrel, had a much lower risk of blood clots on birth control.

Yaz Stories From Mothers who lost their Daughters to Yaz

A Tennesse College Student

"Leah told me that she was scared, and that she was tingling all over. I told her it was going to be okay, that me and daddy was coming," said Mayfield.

Leah's mom and dad did not make it in time. Leah died less than an hour later after the call.

"You go in the room and there's your child, your baby girl lying on the stretcher," said Mayfield as she wiped away tears.

Texas resident Carrie Caliman George filed a wrongful death lawsuit after her daughter allegedly experienced a Yaz pulmonary embolism. George’s daughter, Cheri Malvern, started taking Yaz in August 2005. In March 2009, she switched to Yaz generic Ocella. She continued using Ocella until 2010 when she suffered a pulmonary embolism. On December 15, 2011, Malvern died.

There are many more stories just like theis from across the U.S.

What was supposed to be a simple surgery to relieve bloating and constipation turned into a living nightmare for Linda Gross, 46, of Watertown, S.D.

Gross experienced pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the organs of the pelvis begin to shift because of a weakened pelvic wall. Her doctor implanted Gynecare Prolift, a relatively new type of surgical mesh, into her pelvic wall through incisions made in her vagina.

Ever since that implantation in 2006, Gross says she has had urinary complications, constant pain and swelling as her body continues to reject the mesh. She says she can't sit for more than 20 minutes, she can't have sex with her husband, she can't be active for more than a few minutes at a time. Twelve surgeries have failed to remove all the mesh or relieve her pain and swelling.

"It's horrible. There are unknown amounts of the mesh still in me. I have extreme pain. It feels like the inside of my vaginal wall is on fire," Gross told ABCNews.com. "I wouldn't wish this on anyone."

The following are problems linked to transvaginal mesh:

        Bleeding
        Infection
        Mesh erosion through the vagina
        Organ perforation
        Pain
        Pain during sexual intercourse
        Urinary problems

There have been horrors of disease and disfigurement associated with toxic breast implants.
Symptoms of Silicone toxicity from Silicone breast Implants

Typical symptoms associated with silicone illness (also called "silicone poisoning" or "silicosis") include cognitive dysfunction, short-term memory loss, Sjogren's syndrome (dryness in the glands, such as the mouth, kidneys, eyes, and lungs), scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatom-yositis, severe joint and muscle pain, incapacitating fatigue, swollen lymph glands, skin problems, peripheral numbness, multiple allergies, headaches, hair loss, sunlight sensitivity, central nervous system disorders (similar to multiple sclerosis), and others.

Complications from the vaginal Mesh

With the vaginal mesh there have been reports of recurring prolapse, vaginal scarring, vaginal shrinkage, and emotional problems related to the vaginal mesh. These complications often result in a patient requiring additional treatment, including surgery and further hospitalization.

The mesh helped keep the organs in place, but indications are that the transvaginal mesh harmed more than it helped. Some women who had the vaginal mesh surgery using it have reported "painful sexual intercourse, infections, urinary problems, overall discomfort, and bleeding, usually from the mesh eroding through the stitched tissue or from skin contracting tightly around it." Last year, 75,000 women had the vaginal form of the corrective surgery, and in the past two years, adverse event reports to the FDA have quintupled.

The FDA has also received reports that three women died in connection with the vaginal mesh surgery, and several other women are suing the device makers. One of their transvaginal mesh lawyers, who represents 75 patients, told the Globe, "It is unfortunate that the FDA came to these conclusions after all these people get hurt.''

If you would like to share your Vaginal mesh or siliconee breast Implant  story we would like to hear from you. If you have complications from the prolapse mesh,surgical mesh implants or disease form silicone breast implants contact us.

Over 300,000 women have been implanted with vaginal mesh surgical devices and many of them are failing and woemn are suffering.

"This may be even larger in scope then the Breast Implant horror" says Lisa Spitzer Msw who mangages the Vaginal Mesh Helpline.

Many women are suffering and they are having trouble finding doctors to remove the mesh. Although there are no related diseases lke the silicone breast implants the vaginal mesh causes servere pain and many women have had their lives altered. "It effects the marital conjugal relationship and many marriages are breaking up" Says Spitzer. "The complications are severe and women are suffering"

“Consumers are justifiably upset when their cars, toasters, andbaby food bottles are recalled,” wrote Dr. Rita Redberg and Dr. Sanket Dhruva of the University of California, San Francisco, in an editorial accompanying the study. “Recalls make us all question the safety of the products we take for granted. But what aboutthe products permanently implanted inside our bodies?”. Unfortunately, products like vaginal mesh and faulty breast implants manufactured by the now-defunct French company Poly Implants Protheses SA, were cleared for use too quickly, resulting in disastrous consequences for women who were implanted with the devices. The French breast implants were not cleared for use in the U.S.

"Thousands of women have been left severely damaged by an implanted  vaginal mesh  to treat problems following childbirth, hysterectomy, or urinary incontinence."

"As a result  we are  now facing a crisis on a par or maybe even more far reaching ,  then claims for leaking silicone breast implants in the Nineties. "Says Spitzer.

"And Now we have a new one called the Mirena IUD. The Mirena is gravitating from its's original position and becoming embedded in the uterus and harming nearby organs.". Between Yaz, Yasmin, Fosamax, Vaginal mesh, Bladder sling and many others women are suffering nationwide and must seek justice"

Many Studies show Yaz linked to Blood Clots

two new 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. The studies reported that the risk of developing blood clots for women taking the drospirenone-containing pills may be two to three times greater than those who take other pills. Yaz is one of these drugs.

Yaz New Warnings  April 2012

In an announcement released April 10, 2012, the FDA stated that new warnings about the risk of blood clots will now be required on the labels of birth control pills that contain the progestin “drospirenone.” Yaz, Yasmin, Beyaz, and Safyral will now carry warnings detailing recent studies that suggest these pills may carry a slightly higher risk of Yaz blood clots

“Here is my story… I was on Yasmin for 6 years. About 4 years into taking the drug, I noticed a mass on my right side… I went to KU Med and was told that I had to have emergency surgery right away, and that I was basically a walking time bomb…. If I tripped and fell, it could cause this mass to rupture and I could bleed to death…They did a liver resection and removed my gall bladder and several lymph nodes. The mass on the scan turned out to be 2 grapefruit-sized benign masses, called Focal Nodular Hyperplasia – most commonly caused from the hormones in birth control pills!!!!…This whole ordeal has DRASTICALLY changed my life and affected all of the people I love, my husband included, who has to endure all of my pain and anxiety.

•     Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): a "mini-stroke" without tissue death.
•     Myocardial Infarction (heart attack): blockage of the coronary arteries that supply oxygen to the heart muscle.
•     Pulmonary embolism: life-threatening blockage of arteries in the lungs, starving the body of oxygen.
•     Angina pectoris: reduction of blood supply to the heart, typically resulting in severe chest pain.
•     Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): a clot formed in a deep vein, usually in the legs.

       History moves along and even the DePuy Hip Replacement, a metal on metal hip replacement recalled for its's vast need for revision surgery effects women more then men. Apparently ithe smaller frame of a women makes the device more prone to problems in the female statute.

      And here come the biggest disaster for women, the various vaginal mesh devices for urinary incontinence and uterine, bladder and bowel prolapse. This mesh device is made of a Prolene plastic synthetic fiber and apparently is not holding up. Wome across the country are screaming the horrors of the vaginal mesh. They are in severe pain. Some describe it as razor blades. The mesh is eroding thru the vaginal wall and at times itnot the bladder and bowel. having it removed appears to have its issues as well. Women can no longer have sexual intercourse and marriages are breaking up. Women cannot work and are losing their jobs and health insurance.  Even if there was a Doctor to help they have not money to pay for it. Last but not least we have the Mirena IUD. Apparently the Mirena Slicone IUD. Sound familiar?

The Mirena silicone IUD is showing side effects very reminiscent of the old Dow Silicone breast implants. We also have women prone to breast cancer who should not be implanted with it and the estrogen component is showing evidence of Breast cancer in some women. And last but not least it is gravitating out of position and effecting other near by organs by cutting or severing .

All in all we have many medical devices and drugs effecting women. When a women trusts a doctor it is devastating to find out they were harmed. Women are becoming depressed with sever emotional ramifications from devastating illness and complications. Many feel their loves have been ruined. Chat room are full of "MY experience " with—-. These stories are not pretty and many are stories of loss and a life ruined.

And one must continue to watch in awe as our T.V screens are filled with lawyers seeking to vindicate these women. Many are quite sensitive to the issues. We see one after the other. So many of these are the drugs and devices that harm women. can a dollar settlement help a ruined life?

Teen says blood clot after taking Yaz destroyed her life

Lynsey Lee, 19, was diagnosed two years ago with a blood clot in her left lung, months after she began taking the birth control pill Yaz.

 

 

Lynsey Lee hoped Yaz would relieve her severe menstrual cramping and pelvic pain, so she began taking the birth control pills when she was only 16. But, instead of getting better, she started experiencing extreme mood swings, nausea and even more pain.

“I got really, really sick,” says Lee, now 19, of White Bluff, Tenn. “I was just constantly throwing up, and it was getting hard to breathe sometimes.”

Then, she started having unbearable chest pains that sent her to the hospital what seemed like every few days. Doctors initially couldn’t figure out what was wrong. “They kept telling me that it was just my body getting used to the medicine,” she says. “Finally, [when I was 17] I just stopped taking it.”

Later that year, after numerous medical exams, doctors diagnosed a blood clot lodged in her left lung. During one emergency room visit, doctors asked Lee what would become a life-changing question for thousands of young women like her: “Have you ever taken Yaz?”

Now, she is among the more than 10,000 American women who have filed class action lawsuits or claims against the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer, which makes Yaz, a popular birth control pill. Thousands more claims are expected. In documents released Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration raised questions and other similar pills, including life-threatening blood clots, and said warning information should appear on labels for doctors and patients.

Thursday, the FDA's panel of experts agree  that current labeling on the medications isn't enough and should be updated with more information on the risks. But that news comes too late for Lee.
