Locally, we're having ads by lawyers that ask "Have you been injured by Ketek?"

I know they've had trouble with it, but is it off the market now??

Posted by Melanie Reber (Member # 3707) on :

As far as I know it is still on the market, but with a new warning lable of "after distribution" side-effects.

It sure put me in a very bad place, however, others swear that it really helped.

Lawsuits may take it away...we shall see.

heheeehhe!! NO! You're my buddy!! [kiss]

I just wanted to make sure others saw this. I wondered if others had seen ads like this because it was the first time I saw it on television.

I figure it had to be pretty serious if it's on a TV ad already.

Thanks for the links!

Ketek really helps me. I've been on it for months. I sure hope it continues to be available. I have liver fnc blood tests monthly.

Hi janet!! [Smile]

Hi Gail,

Thanks for the hello, it's nice someone notices you're home.

I'm still here, was off abx from 11/05 to 3/06, rifing and home hbot and thought I had the beast licked. Then I got a bad flu and Lyme came back.

So I've been back on IM Bicillin and ketek which is what works for me. Maybe some rifampin in the future and/or mino and /or tini-so I have something to look forward to in life. My newest idea is a whole foods vegen diet which I think is really going to help.

Hi to everyone else too, lots of familiar names.

Janet
