Living with Tardive Dyskinesia
The onset of Tardive Dyskinesia is often a devastating experience for a victim, and while treatments are available to combat the symptoms of the condition, there is no known cure. When caught early, many patients see their symptoms decrease over time and even disappear entirely, but many will experience the debilitating effects of Tardive Dyskinesia for the rest of their lives.
Tardive Dyskinesia, associated with prolonged use of the drug Reglan, usually affects the muscles of the face, creating involuntary movements in the mouth such as lip smacking, repetitive chewing, tongue movements, and puffing of the cheeks. Most patients will learn to cope with these symptoms over time, but others may find that they are no longer able to carry out their normal work activities.
If you have developed Tardive Dyskinesia after taking Reglan, you may be eligible for compensation to help you pay for necessary medical treatment and to compensate you for other associated losses. To learn more, contact a Reglan lawsuit lawyer with Williams Kherkher today by calling 800-761-3187.
Tardive Dyskinesia as a Disability
In many circumstances, Tardive Dyskinesia can directly prevent an individual from carrying out their basic daily activities, rendering them unable to work and effectively barring them from providing for themselves and their families. Individuals in the following industries may be especially affected by this condition:
- Customer Service
- Public Relations
- Business Administration
- Sales
The difficulties associated with Tardive Dyskinesia can create an extreme economic hardship if a victim is unable to maintain gainful employment, and such a situation demands compensation when it is brought about by the negligence of another party.
