Dear
Since
Brian Deer's first articles in
the Sunday Times earlier this
year bringing the horrors of
Septrin and Bactrim out into the
open, there has been considerable
media interest in the effects of
the drug. There have been further
articles in the Manchester
Evening News and the Daily Mail.
The response to these articles,
from people who have suffered
from the effects of Septrin or
Bactrim has been enormous.
For
most of us, we now realise, for
the first time during all of our
suffering, that we are not alone.
We now have the names of over two
hundred people who have suffered,
some horrifically, from the
effects of these drugs.
We
must now gather strength from our
numbers through talking to, and
with each other, and fight to
have the drug withdrawn.
We
have tried to contact as many
people as possible who have left
their details on the Action Line
answerphone, but the numbers
involved have taken us by
surprise. We must now work
towards a network where we can
talk to each other, offer each
other support, and develop the
strength of a powerful group that
will be capable of making itself
heard.
At
this stage, the objectives of the
group are: -
1.
To create a network of people
who can talk to each other
and share their experiences.
2.
To have the drugs withdrawn.
3.
To seek the help of members
of the medical profession who
are sympathetic to our cause.
4.
To seek compensation for
those who wish to pursue this
route.
What
do you want to happen next? What
do you want to do?
Enclosed
is a questionnaire for you to
complete, and return as soon as
possible, in order that we may go
forward as a united group.
I
look forward to hearing from you.
