Mesh Problems

Disabled at age 40 by a transvaginal mesh midurethral sling. I advocate for other mesh-injured people ❤️

"New Normal" "Move On" For many women full recovery is not an O P T I O N. Normalizing damages, poor outcomes as an unchangeable fate is ludicrous. Mesh Injured Women will continue to need medical care 4Life. Accepting a "new normal" is harmful. It's TIME to Clean This Mesh Up!

@ISCAS_UK offered me a £150.00 insult as a 'goodwill gesture' during my complaint after a hip surgeon chose to risk my sexual future WITHOUT my consent, leaving me permanently, physically harmed, traumatised and in deep grief.

🚨Minimizing a physical, toxic degradation profile as a psychological defect is a profound institutional disgrace that has driven many victims to suicidal breakdowns.

🚨Continuous Chemical Release: Because the giant cells cannot dissolve the plastic, they never "turn off". They remain attached to the mesh surfaces, continuously secreting highly inflammatory chemicals, oxidants, and cytokines in a desperate, endless loop to destroy it.

"The document said that the perineal post is known to cause damage to the pudendal nerve. I had no idea what this nerve was so carried on reading. I felt sick. I then read the words that confirmed my worst fears. It said the pudendal nerve carries sexual sensation from the clitoris. I sat there shaking and breathless as my world crashed down around me."

How many studies evidencing polypropylene mesh used in #Pelvic surgery is not inert do we need before a total ban?
We already have 10k patients left with permanent life changing injuries which NHS staff are scrabbling around in the dark trying to treat

“If I endure one day of pushing my body’s boundaries I can become almost completely bedridden. If I am lucky it only lasts days—but sometimes I’m put into a flare that lasts weeks—even months… unable to even get up to shower, eat… anything.” https://t.co/NXNHrBEvzd #ChronicPain

Will the government formally acknowledge the new research from Sheffield University proving mesh degradation and migration and the latest peer reviewed paper in the #BJUI “Systemic immune dysregulation in patients experiencing urogynaecological mesh failure” @DHSCgovuk @MHRAgovuk @ShaunLintern @bbchealth

Cancel all elective procedures unless medication is called in.

All forms of oral buprenorphine rot the teeth & many have reported oral cancer

Say no to the spinal cord stimulator

Protect yourself from the medical predator

HE STOLE MY ORGASM 💥🌟

It was supposted to be a 'simple' hip surgery. I had no idea he would be risking my sexual future.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today recognises the urgent need for financial redress for women avoidably harmed by Pelvic #Mesh and #sodiumvalproate in PMQs

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

It's more than two years since the #HughesReport and 6 years since the #FirstDoNoHarm report called for financial redress for women avoidably harmed by #pelvicmesh YET STILL NO GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT to compensate women avoidably harmed.

What people don't understand is the severity of #mesh pain. It's literally a giant sharp plastic splinter, inflamed/infected, cutting through your genitals. It is pain so severe that you can barely breathe.

[mesh injured patients 🕊 @SusanMorgan19]

#mesh pain is continuous, agonising, relentless and no woman should be “fobbed off” - 1 in 20 mesh injured women have attempted #suicide due to the deep lacerating 24/7 #pain

This mum tragically lost her life

“THE FAMILY of a much-loved North Wales mum who took her own life said she was "fobbed off" and "gaslighted" by the health service about the chronic pain she suffered. 

An inquest was told that she suffered from chronic pain due to complications resulting from surgical mesh that was implanted after she gave birth in 2011.”

I said to him, distressed, "do you know what you've done to me?"

Casually he said "it's misfortunate" as though he'd just put the wrong milk in my coffee.

Failing to provide informed consent resulting in completely avoidable harm is not 'misfortunate' it's cruel & it's callous!

The medical community has acknowledged that mesh was sometimes used indiscriminately

Sadly I believe there was far more indiscriminate use than admitted-

MANY of us NEVER needed this plastic device as proved in medical expert reports.

#Mesh was oversold

[Claudia A. Merandi @CMerandi]

Millions lost access to their pain medication. Many have applied for disability. Many have died by suicide.

@joerogan I have chapters in all 50 states, relying solely on donations

Why not hear from individuals dependent on pain medication?

We matter

[Janis Kay Urban @JanUrban12]

Few women ever fully recover from the damage. They struggle to survive the long term physical, psychological, medical, financial damage and losses from being injured by a mesh implant and what $'s if any are awarded is a paltry amount.

[mesh injured patients 🕊 @SusanMorgan19]

#Redress is long over due

The Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review (the Cumberlege Review) previously,2020, recommended establishing a government-backed compensation and support scheme.

Despite this, victims have faced years of delays in receiving a formal government response and a commitment to compensation
