If you ever had an Anthrax vaccination and got any of the reported possible complications there is good news.

A case just got decided for a Vet in the court system and resulted in the Vet receiving FULL (100%) compensation and full V.A. medical for the complications that were reported as the results of the vaccine.

Post here if you wish more info.

Had some threads of mine locked etc. by moderators for earlier vet posts.

I think I understand what caused it but being more careful now.

from the email

“seronegative rheumatoid arthritis” (SNRA).  [This was later refined to
Adult-Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD), based on subsequent findings.]

but IIRC not limited to this.....

IIRC it seemed to be related to joint problems?????

but there were other things reported as well.

Here is the message/invite with the email that may help out........

Mustaine did you ever get an anthrax vaccination?

Might still be of help.

not that i am aware of. first symptoms were in high school, missed most of junior year. back then they thought it was JRA (juvenial rheumatoid arthritis), and it would never come back...

in 1997 it came back, and doc diagnosed stills.

all clear now, but it may come back at any time :(

ty for thoughts...

it is not dehabiliating in any way for me right now... when i did have my flare up it was treated easily with meds, but the meds have NASTY side effects, including liver failure, and diabetes.

prednisone is one, and i FNG hate that stuff. you have to be weened off it, and it took 4 years last time, the whole time bloated, fat, and messed up body chemsitry.

the particular symptoms i have is fatigue, muscle soreness, and extreemly high fevers of 104-105 range. i peaked at 106.1 in the hospital one day... talk about freaked out nurses. they must have called in 20 different doctors trying to figure out WTF was going on. i went down to 107lbs back in the hospital too lol, you should have seen the pic, looked like someone from a concentration camp. :(

the real trick is now will it come back? some people have moderate symptoms for a long time, some have minor flare ups every few months / years, some like me have a major flare up, then nothing for a long time, then another, repeating. i am past the time (7 years) since the last, i may be done with ti.
