The Sunshine act went into effect in 2014. You can put in your doctor's name to find out if they were getting kickbacks from big pharma too, that would be their incentive.

I have all the problems you do. Hair loss, neuropathy, tinnutius 24/7 joint pain, blurry vision, weakness . I also was a healthy energetic person. The Dr. says it is all in my mind! Makes me so angry. This drug was pushed to soon. Almost died during treatment but pushed on. Wish I had never taken this poison.

I have terrible insurance now that I am no longer working. So... It is very hard to get help. And, you can forget about getting anything for pain in seattle. Life sucks!!

What is really creepy is they did not want to submit my medical reports to me. It is important that you have them.

Get your medical reports. Look carefully at what is written. My medical reports were so full of lies it was shocking! They were written to protect the drug maker.
