		<description>I have contacted my primary and he recommended waiting for symptoms and advised going to emergency if  I in fact had symptoms.....   I called the Health Department and they did not find my name....I emailed and called the Pain clinic but have not heard if I am on the list ..   I had injections in July and really needed to know if I should prepare for the worst...My husband not well and if I am to be ill, I need to make plans...If I could be told not to worry as I am not on the list i could relax and carry on....I just found this site and thought I&#039;d try to reach someone...Thanks..Hope this helps me reach whoever I need to, so I can move on....</description>

		<description>That&#039;s CDC.gov   And please, this is a limited range of people.  If you did not get an injection AT the one site that opened and used their supply of this POTENTIALLY tainted medication, DO NOT flood the ER.

No other medications from other manufacturers or time period is involved in this.  My wife was treated last Sunday by the ER as if this was nothing..why?  Because they admitted they had a flood of people who didn&#039;t even go to Pain Consultants coming in.  We went back when they had done absolutely no testing and brushed her off even though she&#039;s been experiencing everything EXCEPT a fever since her injection, and again they were dismissive because of the flood of people who shouldn&#039;t be concerned at all.  BUT, they did a lumbar puncture and it was not normal, now we are waiting for the culture process to find out if she&#039;s out of the &#039;suspect&#039; case catagory one way or the other.  

So again, don&#039;t go to the ER and get in the way of the true patients that are potentially exposed to the tainted batch IF YOU DID NOT get your injection AT Pain Consultants during the specified time frame. 
This is deadly serious.  Those true patients have been exposed to something that could kill suddenly...If it grows in them.</description>

		<description>The center for disease control website has all the info you need, including the two facilities in Pensacola which are included in the 8 total in Fl.   Www.cdc.com. 

And to Kathy, according to my conversations with the health dept, I think you are okay, the tainted batches had not been produced as of yet (February) and you would be showing symptoms by now.</description>

		<description>God so works in mysterious ways.I had orders to get my scheduled injections, and because of school I decided not to because it takes a few days to a week to get over it., and cannot miss school...I am so glad I didn&#039;t, because one of those pain clinics listed is mine...Thank you God for looking out for me and I pray you comfort those who have suffered losses from this contaminated product...</description>

		<description>William, would you have the names of the 6 clinics mentioned in this article? My husband received spinal injections from a different pain management clinic but we have not heard anything. Any way to know what clinics received the tainted medication? Thanks.</description>

		<description>I was contacted by the pain clinic but not by the health dept. I left a voice mail for my primary and never got a reply. Guess I have to go in and inform them in person.</description>
