Margaret ,
I haven't been doing a lot lately , but I was thinking that you might find it interesting the different prescriptions that my doctors have me on now .
1 - Oxycodone 10-325 mg ( for severe pain )
2 - Topamax 25 mg ( for seizures )
3 - Fentanyl 50 mg patch ( for pain )
4 - Seroquel 200 mg ( for mental problems ? )
5 - Depakote er 500 mg ( for severe Bi-polar )
6 - Alprazolam 0.5 mg ( sleeping problems )
7 - Fluoxetine 20 mg ( depression )
8 - Potassium 595 mg ( leg cramps )
9 - Multi - Vitamins
It seems to be everytime I see the doctors I have anouther problem , the pain is my back ( four compressed fractures ) and my knee , which was crushed during the oil spill in 1990 . As for my mental problems , I just don't know . Anyway it's a good thing I have a good prescription plan . It 's kind of amazeing that Exxon won't do a damn thing even though they have the biggest profit of any company in the United States . Now look if you want you can give out me E-mail to interested people that have questions and so forth , I do not mind and possibly we will stumble onto an Attorney that can help us ? Who know's stranger things have happened . I'm still here in Florida helping my Mother ( she still is having problems coping ) with my brothers death and also of my Fathers death last year , I too from time to time have my doupts about all of this myself , but I always have been a very strong person , I think, and that to me is all it takes . At any rate I suppose I will never be able to Captain again since I still suffer from seizures about two or three a month and the Coast Guard has all but retired me , O well .So look give me a shout from time to time about how things are going and just know that I still do care a whole lot and that I haven't given up .
Take Care ,
Captain Richard D.Nagel

Do you want to make a comment to the Trustee Council tomorrow...
The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Public Advisory Committee's next meeting is Thursday, November 2, 2006 at 8:30 a.m. at the EVOS office 441 W 5th Ave, Ste 500, Anchorage. Public comment is at 8:45 a.m. Action items include the FY 07 Draft Work Plan. For more information call: (907) 278-8012 or (800) 478-7745 or on the web at www.evostc.state.ak.us. (10/25)
ASK for a medical assist fund ... many injured have not been able to do steady work
Ask for a medical review of your medical info ... & see if 2 others who worked the oil spill look similar:
I think the best help is glyconutrient food supplements
I think when health issues are from a chemical poisoning,
meds hurt more than help
Housewives are at risk, too. We need new disclosure laws in home cleaning products, also.
And the biorememdiation workers ... & the Corexit trial workers can prove it
