Sanders believes that’sbecause of the mandatory anthrax vaccine he and others received in theArmy. Late last year, at age 41, the Kingsport resident had apacemaker installed to keep his heart rate and blood pressure up, buthe still blacks out from low blood pressure from a condition calledsinus bradycardia neurocardiogenic syncope. Hisother medical problems include chronic fatigue, neurological symptoms,muscle deterioration, memory loss, ringing in the ears, double vision,confusion, depression, anxiety, incontinence, sleep apnea, respiratory distress, and extreme muscle and joint pain. Sanders’medical condition, however, has not been diagnosed as an illnessrelated to his military service, so he does not receive any financialcompensation for his illness. Sanders, a master auto mechanic who canno longer work, has not been able to obtain unemployment pay, militarydisability or Social Security disability, and this has put a severefinancial hardship on his family. Sanders is now seeking letters of support from veterans who have similar symptoms and received the anthrax vaccine. He’sasking that anyone with past military service with similar medicalissues fill out a Veterans Affairs Form No. 21-4138 — Statement inSupport of Claim.
