Vioxx settlements will go out soon

Here is the latest on my Mother.... The Lawyer finally responded to her phone calls. He said that they sent a letter that said she had been dropped. I asked Mother why did she get dropped? She said that they had not been given a letter in reference on how many days she missed of work. I told her to let them know that she has never been able to go back to work. So now that her 32% lawyer sent that paper back, she is back in the pile. My only question is, does that mean that she has passed the gates? Her lawyer is a real winner!

Whoa, Im just curious here. Where are you at?(About) Im here in Montana and always thought that was a common funeral prayer.(I have heard it often and it is always uplifting.) It wasnt until I read the other posters that I realized it is not as well known as I thought.
Thanks for posting it. It is always something to hear and think about.

Jerimiah...

I'm part Cherokee...my great-grandmother walked the "Trail of Tears" So, to me this has always been a Native American Indian Poem...

However, some people disagree and state the Mary Elizabeth Frye, wrote the poem..but, not too sure about that (her's is slightly different...To me, it will always be American Indian Poem..

So pleased that it might help some to get through these horrible times...

Oh, I'm from the West..but, at this time in life, I'm being held hostage in the East!

Hostage in the east??? LOL I like that. I was stationed at Ft Monmouth NJ, Ft. Dix NJ and Ft. Jackson SC. I KNOW how you feel!(At least it isnt california!)

If I am not mistaken, Merck also is the maker of the Swine Flu vaccine. I heard now that the flu season has reached its peak, which was in October, and there will be no need for the vaccine. Due to production errors however, they didn't get the amounts produced in time to the clinics and hospitals, and now they are going to be late getting the abundance of vaccines out, they have to get rid of it, but no one really needs a flu shot now and the flu epidemic is being found out to be more of a hoax. Now what is really scary, they cannot dump this in the rivers, because of the toxins, but yet can inject it into the body of a 6 year old. Click on Natural News. com and read about it, it's scary and the same company manufactured the deady Vioxx. And like Vioxx, this flu vaccine has not even really passed safety standards, but yet people cannot wait to get this injected into their bodies, they are doing it because they are living out of fear of getting this much dreaded so called flu bug, which is another scare tactic. This makes Jim Jones and the cyanide episode look like a fairy tale, I mean he did no worse, now come on. History repeats itself, and like Vioxx you wait and see, it will be found out the vaccine is more deadly than the flu itself. And yet Merck will make billions off of this, I mean why should they worry, if people dies by the masses, so what, a low fine and they still get to keep their big profits.

my mother die from vioxx, but merck does not care jerks.

My mother my mother died less than 7 months ago due to Vioxx. She was a local author in Ellijay Ga had a very adventurous life. Her life was taken March 31st 2009 by a massive heart attack. I never got to say good bye to her and thats what hurts the most all my life growing up she tought me how to be a good mother but never once explained to me how to tell the grandbabies when she past away Now here I am all alone in this hatefull world at 26 years of age with two children age 9 and 6 tryin to make it out here. Me and my 2 sisters got an ofer for 125,000 dollars and I just dont think its enough what they can offer is to give my mother her life back and bring her back wich will never happen I feel 125,000 dollars divided by three just isnt enough for the loss of our mother I HATE THESE PEOPLE THAT INVENTED VIOXX and I pray for them every night because God only knows how many more people are goin to suffer for this ignorant pill called vioxx!!! Good luck to all you vioxx survivors and I feel for each an every one of you that has lost someone they love to this so called pain pill Pain pill = pain and suffering from loosin a loved one

Raleigh & Lost One -- So so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my Mom to vioxx in 2004. I miss her every day. Good Luck to All!

Pharmgirl - Love reading your posts, please stay with us. You are always filled with great information. I refuse to take the flu shot.....and I am glad I didn't. I didn't know who manufactured it, but thanks to you....my question has been answered. Keep up the good detective work.

My husband died in 2000 from vioxx, heart attack, no heart condition before his death. I was in the suit and told by these lawyers I would be included in settlement 2 months ago, then shortly after got a letter saying they could not get any information on his medical since he died over 9 years ago. So to bad to sad go away.....
What???!!! is going on. Has anyone else heard this junk in writing?

Daisy:
You have to continue to pursue this. Your husband would want you to. My Dad passed away as well in 2000. The records are there - you can do it. My thoughts are prayers are with you and yours.

Whoa, I am sorry I didn't respond, I don't come here often. I love the poem, I have read it before, but it is beautiful. My husband and I were married 29 1/2 years, didn't quite make it to 30, but he was my best friend, we have known each other since we were 4 years old and we grew up together and were friends a long time before we got married. He was my soul mate and my world! When I lost him I lost a huge part of what made me who I am and it is gone forever. They stole that from me and from our daughters. We had a grandson when he died and they were so close, but now we have 2 grand daughters that he never got to know and they will never know him! Such a great loss for all of them. I miss him every day even if it has been almost 9 years. I still love him today and I always will. I hate those people and hope that someday they come to know just what they have done to so many people and what a cost we all had to pay for their greed.

Is there anyone out there who is an MI case that has their case under special review? I read on Brown Greer's site from the last settlement hearing that it is expected that all MI claimants will be receving checks in November. My husband has not heard anything from his law firm.

skm...I'm so sorry for your lost...You will find him again...

As I said before...I will never forgive nor will I forget! Merck's day shall come!

Ok I found these papers, it makes me sick to look at them. Because I took vioxx also for over a year they filed a claim on me and my husband. When he passed away the shortly later recalled it and I stopped taking it. I have so many health problems anyway I didn't push the doctors on mine but i submitted everything on his. This is what the denial letter said. The independent settlement administrator that was established by the court overseeing all vioxx cases has determined that ***** case eas deemed ineligible under the nationwide settlement agreement. We have appealed the ineligibility decision to a second committee, but unfortunately we have lost that appeal and you were again deemed ineligible.We will no longer be representing you in your vioxx case becasue we do not believe that you have a meritorious vioxx case. Specifically, we are unable to get an expert report demonstration that you suffered a cardiovascular injury as a result of vioxx ingestion. best of luck. So tell me which doctor's specifically said this person took vioxx and died. I mean it was in his medical records he was taking it, in his system, taking it for heal spurs and did not have a heart problem at all. He died of a massive heart attack. It exploded!!. WHAT??!!! I am sorry like I said it makes me sick.. to even read these papers. so now what do i do? find a doctor to put in writing that the man did not have a heart condition and then died of one after taking medicine? This doctor is gone too now by the way.

My husband died July 2005. He had taken Vioxx for years and when it came off the market in Sept.'04 he was switched to Celebrex. I never filed a claim or researched this at all, but it has been on my mind lately. Is it too late to do anything about this. Is there a class action suit I could be part of?

Daisy, what was his cause of death on his death certificate? My husband also died, but it was listed as a Myocardial Infarction on his death certificate. Did they do an autopsy? You need to know exactly why they say he died.
