I agree w/you Kim, I had taken Phen-Fen for about a year and
a half and my doctor assured me all the time that this combo
of drugs are safe. I now have Hypertension and Mitral Valve
Regurgitation. I was a part in the class action lawsuit and
all I got was a mere $200 for the drugs I had purchased in
the past. I don't know how the company can get by with this
because I am suffering and will be for the rest of my life
because of Phen-Fen. After I had gotten the $200, I received
a letter from the law firm saying that my case had been
dischaged and that they could no longer help me. I don't
know what to do either because who knows how bad my
Hypertension or Mitral Valve problems will become in the
future and if my life will be shortened because of this. I
am very aggrevated by all of it.
