Clinical narrative: Black outs/ cold sweats/ heart racing without any activity. Severe headaches, worse than I ever had in the past. I get dizzy and am really clumsy at times and loose my balance, mood swings, and you name it I have it. Pt has been on a Medical Profile now for 180 days. He is still sick and not able to perform his duties. An investigation has been ordered to his symptoms. See attached: Dear Sirs/Madam, Thank you for your time. I am writing this letter to you in regard to my son , the above mentioned. This young man is about to be medical boarded out without any recourse on his behalf. I also understand at this late hour the doctor's have come up with a possible cause and effect, which could potentially change the standing of his status. However, it is also my understanding that because he has been on medical profile for 180 days, there is no recourse other than to put him on permanent profile. Is it these patients' fault that the doctors could not find a reason for his illness? Why should this young man be removed form his livlihoood and his career without the benefits he deserves? It is my understanding that if you do go before the board and are given 10% or less than 30% medical than you are not entitled to any benefits. Insurance company will insure him with what is in his medical file to this point? My son served his country, and received the inoculations required of the military and took them without recourse or rebellion on his part. I have come to the understanding that after receiving the shots, he became ill and has been ill ever since his 5th shot. He has been on medical leave for 180 days. These reports have been filed as of this date with VAERS.  I request you as my State Senator and or Congressman to represent this young man who served his country to protect your family as well as mine. I know that after you speak with him and or his family you will understand the urgency of this matter. March 1st, 1999 is the last day of the 180-day medical profile, only you as a Senator and or Congressman can continue this and find out why there has been no result in this young mans illness. I am requesting you to represent my son and request feed back of such findings.  He has been disabled 100% since taking the Anthrax vaccine Lot no. FAV020 he took 4 shots. When he took the 4th shot, he began to seizure and has not stopped the seizures. He had a reaction after each vaccine given but was continued in the shots regimine his health was ignored. He has been told he has a spot on the artery coming from the brain stem which is next to the nervous system, this is one of the symptoms of the vaccine. The doctor can not say what this is nor will they pay for my son to have a 2nd  opinion. We are having to go outside the system to get him help. We will not take this is the end of your road for an answer, He had had more seizures than we care to talk about and continues to have seizures. My son is an example why this vaccine should not be given the patients were not made aware of the risk. My son was not made aware of any risk, nor was he given a choice to take or not to take the vaccine. This vaccine was ruled illegal and now the company is trying to make more, Why?? would you make millions of shots of Anthrax vaccine when there are so many different types of Anthrax, Why would they not be making Cipro to combat it if they are afraid of an Anthrax vaccine outbreak. Does that not make more sense.  If it can be cured with antibiotics, I just wonder what is the motive behind the Anthrax vaccine? More than likely $$$$ I have yet to hear from the BioPort manufacturer who made the vaccine when I tried to reach them to find out what I could do to help my son after he took the vaccine. They would not talk with me. If the vaccine is made for the public like I hear it is going to be, I will not take it and I will campaign against it you can take that to the bank. Please rethink about approving this vaccine. My son testified in front of Congress. Hope you find it within your heart not to allow this vaccine to be made for the public. From a mom on a mission to save her son.
