I live in katy,texas, near houston and I was prescribed the fentanyl pain patch. I believe the call numbers on the patch are 0078171135. I had the patch on for pain from auto accidents that I had in the 90's. This patch was prescribed by a pain dr. for all the chronic pain I have and I live on a disability income. All of this litigation has been resolved and none of them were my fault. In fact, I was a school bus driver for 9 years for the KISD school system without an accident. On 3/3/07, my balance was so bad that day which is unusual, I sprang my ankle at home. I went to Christus St. Catherine Hospital,-(it was on a saturday) my husband took me and when I was filling out the paperwork in the emergency room and I passed out. The doctors there thought I was overdosing. Their specific statement in the discharge summary was I was admitted with an altered mental status and hypotension due to excessive narcotic use. The only narcotics I was on was fentanyl and Norco and I had only taken 2 norco that day. I was given Narcan which brought my blood pressure up. I also had renal insufficiency with a BUN of 39 and creatinine of 2.7 at the time of admission. A Renal consult was obtained and was thought secondary to hypotension. With the IV fluids, the patient's renal function improved. Prior to discharge her BUN was 9 creatinine was 0.7 and she was urinating without any problem. I was put into the rehab section of the hospital, restrained, and put on a cathedar so I couldn't leave my bed. I was in the hospital from 3/3/07 to 3/5/07. I have medical expenses exceeding $10,000.00. I have no permanent damages, but because of the kidney failure I almost lost my life. I don't know if this patch I used is involved in the recall, however since the dr. states in his summary that I was counseled at length about abuse of narcotics which I did not do that day. I only had the patch on and took 2 norco. Thanks for your consideration.- Natalie Jackson
