I should correct this to say I see these symptoms in 80% of those who seek me out as patients. The GWS patients have similar symptoms. I believe similar symptoms also occasionally occur after other vaccines.<BR/><BR/>I was not aware there was a licensed vaccine for RMSF. Were you enrolled in a vaccine trial?<BR/><BR/>Meryl Nass, MDMeryl Nass, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07001997291638442225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592607595936297457.post-965453678838679012008-08-13T17:31:00.000-04:002008-08-13T17:31:00.000-04:00Dr. Nass,You mentioned "other vaccines" as potenti...Dr. Nass,<BR/><BR/>You mentioned "other vaccines" as potentially causing illness.<BR/><BR/>I received Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever vaccine in 1989 one month prior to embarking on a 3-week camping trip in Glacier NP and Waterton Lakes park in Canada. The week after my return from that successful trip, which entailed bicycling 1,000 miles and hiking side trips on wilderness trails (no tick bites), I began to feel extreme novel exhaustion which exacerbated over a period of months. The most obvious symptom was exertional fatigue: not being able to recover from exercise that formerly was no big deal, such that I was only able to do about 1/3 of my previous activities, indicating a possible mitochondrial problem A constellation of other symptoms emerged, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, sleep disturbance, brain fog/short term memory difficulty, etc. The closest thing to a diagnosis was the suggestion that I may have CFS. My symptoms were treated, but I never recovered to my previous level of health or fitness.<BR/><BR/>My purpose in providing this merest sketch of my health picture is to provide a potential data point for vaccine-induced CFS-like syndrome, in case it can help elucidate a pattern.ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557326492892422192noreply@blogger.com
