I'm undergoing many medical exams due to this shot. Army didn't own up to it but V.A. is doing other tests. I was to deploy to Iraq in last push 2010. After receiving the shot I started having fierce migrains, throwing up food and left arm limitations, which also was injection site. They say temporary yeah right its 2015 and I'm still having same problems. While in 2015 I went to e.r. I was looking on my cell phone came across anthrax reactions lo and behold my light bulb came on. As I was researching more I came across a Dr. Meryl Mass trying to stop congress from giving troops this untested stuff. I also came across anthrax vaccine is to be given to military personnel if they are under doctors care, low immunity and taking steroid meds. Now here this Army gave the anthrax vaccine and failed to inform my doctors to stop my treatments two days later after anthrax shot my doctor not knowing continued with steroid treatment I've been jacked up ever since. Thank God I saved all my documentation. So there's my spill, let the class action law suit begin. What's your story?

I can't prove any form of causation or directly attributable effects from getting the anthrax shots but I do have strong coincidental notes.

I received my 5-shot series in 1999 for a PSC to S. Korea (during the "take the shot or go to jail" era). At the end of that 1-year assignment, I started having weight and memory issues. All of the medical checks afterwards only did basic blood-work labs which showed everything as normal (got lots of the eat less, run more, quit complaining feedback). In 2007, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid disorder via a private doctor but the USAF refused to accept those results. Finally in 2010, I managed to convince a new primary care manager to run a full thyroid panel of tests and they found I had auto-immune thyroid failure with some of the known side effects.

The coincidental part of this is that one of my First Sergeants and I were discussing auto-immune disorders (he was a diabetic) and we both came to realize that our issues started about a year after getting the anthrax shots. My younger brother was med-boarded out of the USMC after he became a diabetic during his 2nd year. As I said before, can't prove causation but there is a consistent coincidental link.

Luckily for me, I kept copies of all of my medical records which I submitted to the VA when I retired (the VA came through for me on that). Not sure if any other the medical issues I've been having lately are related but who knows...

I had my vaccines in 2004 and 2005. I don't know if what I have is related to the Anthrax vaccines, but this post just made me realize that maybe I should go see a doc. I did some searches and most said it can be cancerous but that's a slim chance so I haven't thought about it. Plus it's a bit embarrassing to have to tell someone what it is.

Understandable. Stay on top of those l.o.d's and collect active duty medical reports go online look up all Dr. Meryl Nass Intel. And monitor all your symptoms. What am I forgetting? Oh once you ets. You have one or two years to file to be service connected. Just keep track in and take care.

My right leg will have muscle shakes, like a cell phone is vibrating.
