Subject: Vioxx
Hello, my nameās Mark Piggott and Iām writing an article about people affected by taking Vioxx. If youāve been unwell and you think Vioxx may be responsible, or a relative suffered ill-health, Iād like to hear from you. Iām particularly interested in speaking to people who have considered legal action but havenāt because of the possible financial consequences.
Please email me at:

Hi Mark....that Drug was taken offf the Med list years ago... Im on Arcoxia....Hopefully that is fine...most ppl r rather sceptible of people that want to interview someone with help for their tv etc....I personally wldnt visit anyone that I didnt know for an interview,..... im sure anyone that had probs with Vioxx wld have already done something about it by now....that or they r dead... sorry but that is kinda true, right? goood luck... hey mb u shld arange to do a documentary on all types of Arthritis, and How bad the pain is, all joints etc, back especially, most ppl dont understand the condition, and think arthritis sufferes r a bore, and making it all up, particularly the Benefits claims dept....and usually tis only Civil servnats that decide who shld have the benefit or not!... anyway, I think for all us Suffereres of this Insidious disease should have OUR plight advertised More on TV, radio, anywhere , where regualr ppl that dont have it can see how it affects us! also that we r entitled to use our Blue Bade in the Disabled parking spaces, some ppl think we need to be in a Wheelchair to be deserving of tht space!... anyway, just an idea...goood luck...

Hi Mark
I took Vioxx from 2001 to 2004, when it was withdrawn, for Palindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis (PRA). I got on very well with it, no side effects and it kept my PRA under contol. It was the only Anti- Inflammatory medication I could take as I am seriously allergic to all the rest. So withdrawing this drug was a big disadvantage to my treatment plan. now I'm having to relay on drugs that have more serious side effects.
