Re: Relationships?

Either Stolley is running for some kind of office and Moynihan is his campaign manager or they enjoy some other kind of relationship. Moynihan's attempts at stuffing a misinformed Stolley down our throats is pathetic. Perhaps they both have a more insidious agenda?

Sincerely, Verna Eileen Radcliffe

Re: More Doctor education,not deaths.

I live with IBS and when Lotronex was on the market I had a wonderful life not running to the bathroom, missing work, not being able to go out to dinner ect, anything in public that there was not a bathroom close.

All this bickering back and forth is not going to work. It is up to the Doctor to be educated on this medication, and not just give it to anyone who has IBS. It can only be used for IBS-D and anyone who takes this mecication and does not have this diseases, is asking for problems. It should only be perscribed to a man or woman with true IBS-D.

Glaxo, the FDA, need to be the regulators and teach and educate the Doctors on this medication, dose, and patient history. This drug needs to be returned to the drug market as soon as possible, for those like myself in desperate need of it.

The only deaths that will come from bring this drug back to the market will be from the Doctor not screening the patient,and having appointments, and caring for the patient.

Thank you for listening
