Merck and Vioxx

Your Lying Eyes has a good summary of the current state of the lawsuits against Merck for not acting for years upon studies showing that its anti-pain medicine Vioxx was killing off thousands of users. Check out the comments, too. Why do you think there's not much media interest in this case?

My name is Tina Harris and i would like to show you my personal experience with Vioxx.

I am 40 years old. Have been on Vioxx for 6 months now. I had quit taking Vioxx long before the recall because it was the only new med introduced into my regimen at the time the symptoms started. I was told that if I continued to take it, I would be let go from my job because of inability to perform simple tasks.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
vertigo, diarrhea, abdominal pain, respiratory problems and memory loss. I still have memory loss and have gaps in my thinking process where I can't even think of common words I am trying to say, even to this day.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Tina Harris
