Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 : I have been getting two messages of all the posts! Maybe the weather is effecting Yahoo. It is stormy here. -- Re: Prometrium Wow something weird is going on with Yahoo mail this afternoon, tons of messages are being routed into my junk folder from this list, and I didn't set that. It also made me copy some alphabet letters before I could send my next email to the list. Hmmm. Anyway...... Here is an interesting bit on Teva in the lower half of this article. The article states that the maker of this pen, Novo Nordisk, sued Teva and it's licensor Savient Pharmaceuticals, to keep them from being able to market their generic HGH in the US, saying that Teva/Savient had infringed on Novo's patenting of genetic HGH. Teva/Savient appealed and the lawsuit by Novo was struck down as the courts said Novo's patent was invalid and unenforceable on a biological product. This was in 2004. http://www.drugresearcher.com/news/ng.asp?id=55327-novo-launches-first > --- " C. Mannelli, Ed.D.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 No, aplastic anemia is either idiopathic or caused by heavy duty chemical exposure. About half of the cases are idiopathic. Almost consistently, the people who come down with it from chemical exposure are chemical engineers in their 40's and 50's. It is extremely rare to develop in children. It follows the same type of development as many other autoimmune diseases in that it develops after having a virus that triggers the immune system and in this type it attacks the bone marrow.
