This promotes the video to a wider audience, thank you! ] Last November, Ms. Dawn Fickel was invited to address the FDA/AADPAC hearing on the safety and efficacy of epidural steroid injections. Her brother Jimmy was injected in 2013 with several simultaneous ESI’s using Pfizer’s Depo-Medrol (Methylprednisolone Acetate or MPA). The injections caused severe multiple adverse reactions that ultimately led to his death eight months later. Jimmy’s passing devastated his family and his friends. So please listen to Dawn’s heartfelt presentation in memory of her late brother to the FDA panel. May Jimmy’s spirit rest in peace, and may his memory echo the halls of the FDA forever. FDA Issues a MedWatch Drug Safety Alert on Epidural Steroid Injections (4/23/14) requiring strong label changes: FDA Link: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/u… Video Link: http://youtu.be/DKboChc6yt8?list=UUOU… News Update – Pfizer Global has asked the Health Authorities of the World to make major changes to the Warnings & Contraindication Sections of their steroid Depo-Medrol®. Many have already complied. Among them are New Zealand, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, etc, even Russia, with the strange exception of the United States. Lawsuits are pending to force the agency to comply with the Safety changes issued by the manufacturer. Stay tuned.

I’m so sorry for your loss.. I’ve had an ESI in 2015 and my body and health is not the same. It’s the most horrific pain that i do not wish upon anyone. Days where i wish that i could leave my body. Many physicians don’t believe that something like this can happen even say that it’s mental. It’s horrible and shouldn’t be done. Your confined to your home . Like a caged bird unable to enjoy life the way it was meant to be.
Thank you for warning others about this dangerous useless painful money making procedure. I was threatened with discharge without follow up or medication if I refused.
