DAMGED BY PRIMODOS

MY STORY

I am a 35 year old male who was born on 20 February 1973.  My mum was given the drug PRIMODOS by her Doctor.  As you can see from the pictures on this website the damage that this drug has done to me.  As a child I needed a lot of looking after as I was not able to use knives and forks and needed a lot of help in the bathroom and dressing. 

My farther had to make special handles for my bike so I was not left out of family activities. 

When attending schools I was known as the monster child due to my deformities and was left out of many playground activities.  I could not attend any sports activities due to my hands and feet.  I was called a lot of hurting names I.e funny fingers, spazie hands, flipper. 

I was even told by teachers that the was a possibility of me not getting jobs in the future.  I could not go on days out with the school due to me taking to much of the teachers time up.  My education suffered due to no extra help being put on offer by teachers.

On leaving school I did not want to sit at home and claim benefits so I started to apply for jobs.  The teachers were right job interview after job interview I attended I was refused, even while having the interview I could see the expression of the person interviewing was enough to tell me that I was not getting the job, this happened for many years. 

I applied for jobs with government departments which I was successful but this became a fight as I needed special equipment to help me carry out my job safely.  They refused to get me any special equipment for my disability to help me.  I am now a lot older and wiser to what is available and have no problem in fighting to get what I need.

I have had to pay for equipment from my own money when this cause of disability was of no fault of myself or my family.  This was caused by the Doctors and Government who passed these drugs for safety on the market.  These Doctors and Government were warned in medical journals about the damage this drug does to unborn babies by Dr Isabel Gall.

My day to day living is affected because of my disability and I feel like I have been cheated out of life because of this drug. 

How do I know if I can have children and if I can have children, how do I know they will not be affected.

Why was there never any warning signs put on this drug?

Why was the never a public enquiry about this drug?

Why have these children been left to get on with life with no help offered?

On the internet there is a website called “HASARD” on this web site it reports that there was only 50 children who were reported to be damaged by this drug. 

I have got 50 children’s names and addresses who were affected by this drug in the North West, England alone.  Experts have said that this drug could of affected more people than THILIDOMIDE but people don’t know this.

All I am asking for is JUSTICE.

I have got 35 years of medical information about this drug and its affects and 35 years experience of living with my disability.
