I was admitted into the hospital with allergic reaction to heparin (used as prescribed by doctor), difficulty breathing, extreme and excessive enlargement of abdomen (14 INCHES), heart failure, critically low clotting ability.Submitted 2008-02-12Defendant: Baxter and Dr Baxter has announced that it has stopped production of heparin because of allergic reactions (over 300 reported). I am one that has had what I believe is also an allergic reaction and my body, as a result has completely distorted in my abdomen and have had great difficulty breathing, I am in pain all of the time. I have had to buy new clothes in order to accomodate my HUGE abdomen into a skirt. My waist measurement before this was approximately 27" and is now 36". At the worst of it in August it was 42 inches. In addition I have gained a huge amount of weight (most of this is in my abdomen) and since my abdomen is so huge, affects my breathing and my stomach, I can barely eat teaspoons of food at a time (in other words it is IMPOSSIBLE to over eat!). I had to take heparin because of PAI-1 abnormality (excessively high). I have other health issues, but this has caused me great embarrassment, and exceedingly great discomfort. My doctor has done NOTHING to help me except to say that my reaction was "unusual" and now I am finding out that it is NOT!? -- California |
