Mark,
I can only say that Judy has said it better then I could have,
although I am going to have to become more accustomed to doing this
sort of thing if the lawsuit goes in our favor. Coumadin is the only
thing that is keeping my circulation going at this point and Benacar
to lower the blood pressure(sort of like decreasing the pressure in a
hose to stop the turbulance)and Neurontin to stop the twitching I get
at night (sometimes during the day) from the intermittent
claudication.
Again, if anyone in the US is interested in class action lawsuit
against Rj Reynolds, Phillip Morris and US TObacco (more may be named
later) go to my Buergers Disease Support Group at:
http://groups.msn.com/BuergersDiseaseSupportGroup

There is a copy of one of the motions filed in Federal court
concerning this case.
This is not a case to get anyone tons of money, this is a case to get
those of us who suffer from this disease some help, medical or
otherwise.
Thanks,
Nelson
