    > - hello ive been taking this EVIL drug since the fall of 06 because
    i am asthmatic, the dosage varied from 05 mil-60 mil, ill b 38 in
    november. Needless to say i WAS leading a very active life. That is
    now a thing of the past, i have Avascular necrosis in BOTH hips, and i
    meet with an orthopedic surgeon in a few weeks to schedule hip
    replacement surgery for the left hip first which is TOTALLY gone. I
    tried to sue the doctors, but no lawyer would take the case giving me
    far fetched reasons as to why i had no case; so now ive set my sights
    on the makers, i often wonder have THEY set up this site as ive had no
    response from a lawyer yet. Just ANOTHER example of how evil and
    greedy people are, how could they put a drug on the market with such
    devastating side effects, i mean really it has me in a state of shock!
    and besides that i feel WEIRD now at times, i can FEEL a wave of
    achiness travel up and down my left side from my hip and femur
    stopping at my foot and traveling back up again! i mean have i watched
    too many episodes of xfiles or whatever, because i feel poisoned by
    the mysterious guy with the cigarette and i fear this is jus the tip,
    however i will fight this until the end, and pray to the lord to heal
    me where science and man has failed me, but i WANT restitution, i know
    a firm out there will see this and help us all out, ...question is
    when?
