Eric, I do have chronic arthritis and am a gulf war vet. However, I was not on the ground. I was on a ship. In August 1990, we transited into the Red Sea and participated in Desert Shield. We (the ships crew) were given an Anthrax shot en-route. I am a registered Gulf War Syndrome vet and would like any information that you get. Please keep me informed and I will do the same. I am trying to find other Navy sailors who are having the same joint problems and may have had that early Anthrax shot.
Hmm, I've had a multitude of fun shots (4 anthrax shots , small pox etc...) from my deployment to Iraq (although they were 15 years further along in testing); No offense and I'm sorry for your disabilites, but I hope this isn't a glimpsie into my future. I already have arhtritis in my back and a slightly bulging disc at 28.
Ericmoyher,
I hope you get the treatment you deserve and need and that your hip replacement, whenever it is, goes well.
