Symptoms: Abdominal pain, Arrhythmia, Arthralgia, Dyspnoea, Hypoaesthesia
Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. Please reconsider your efforts to approve the anthrax vaccine. prior to receiving the anthrax vaccine, I was an extremely healthy and active individual. When I was notified in 1999, that as a member of the national guard, I would be required to take the series of injections, I thought it was a great idea. I trusted that the required testing had been accomplished and this could benefit me and other military members from a possible exposure to anthrax. The first odd thing I noticed was about a 20 pound weight gain even though I continued to be very active. I blamed that on my age (being over 40). In the summer of 2000, I took my fifth injection. Approximately one month later, I began to notice joint pain and stiffness as well as rashes for no reason. The following January (2001), during a routine physical, I explained my symptoms to my physician who ordered a series of labs and x-rays. The results led to appointments with a number of specialists which has been ongoing since. During the past 4.5 years, I have had thyroiditis, pain and stiffness in all joints, sudden unexplained abdominal pains, irregular heart rate (premature atrial contractions) that has been severe enough to send me to the emergency room twice, respiratory problems, vision problems, non-injury tendon tears (requiring surgery) and numbness in my hands and feet. The pain in my joints is so severe; it hinders my sleep and daily activities. I take daily medications to alleviate the pain; medications to improve circulation in my hands and feet, and medications to help me breathe better. I am no longer able to run, using the stairs is painful, and I am so stiff after short periods of inactivity that I make sure I have something to hold onto when I arise in the mornings to keep from falling. When I expressed my concerns to a doctor in 2001, he told me there was no way to prove these things would not have happened to me anyway. He is right and I cannot prove it. All I can say is, since taking the anthrax vaccines, my health has declined considerably and so has my active lifestyle.

Clinical narrative: The military inoculated me with the smallpox vaccine during basic training, in that I had a reaction to, and become infected with Eczema vaccinatum while serving on active duty on/or about May 18, 1989. The initial reaction occurred three days later - I had  swelling of the throat and passed out or became unconscious.  I had fever and was not conscious for about 3 days after the initial reaction. I broke out with about 75 to 100 sores over my neck, shoulders, face, and scalp area. I was in ICU isolation for over 6 weeks and almost died. They used an "unknown test drug" that was under investigation at the time to expedite the healing. Each time the gauze was changed on my face, I had to put my face in a "downward position" due to the pus dripping everywhere, causing a horrible mess. I have permanent scarring all around my face and will never forget the horrific pain of the huge blisters. This has caused me permanent and ongoing immune problems as well as neurological damage in my brain. From the smallpox, a string of health conditions evolved while on duty.
