I have sent 5 certified letters to Eli Lilly operatives including their Pepper and Hamilton law firm as far back as 2.5 years ago,asking to be included in their ‘promised’ $1.2 billion settlement.

I signed releases for them to contact my Doctor for my medical records,at my last Doctor’s visit he informed me that he has never been contacted,(going on two years now).
That’s right Lilly has something like 250 lawyers and they don’t even try to contest my claim? I have made thousands of pages denouncing their Zyprexa.

This is disappointing to learn that they are stonewalling my case,I repeat they have NOT even contacted my doctor!
I am not the only one either!

I have only gone through a bit of it so far, but the following impress me:

- Explicit reference to the Rezulin as not a model to follow, as noted by some at Lilly.

- Divisions within the company about whether to be “aggressively” [their word] forthcoming about Zyprexa and weight gain/hyperglycemia, or the contrary.

- The ongoing label struggle related to above, parsing every word and nuance in a wrestling match with some at FDA. FDA comes through as relatively vigilant, at least in the part I read, although the process goes on and on, as we’ve learned in other circumstances.

- Still unclear to me whether FDAAA, in practice, would actually empower FDA to declare label and that’s that. I assume appeals, etc. would still provide the possibility of lengthy “negotiations.” Are there relevant time-limits in FDAAA, anyone know?
