I am 30 years old and I had 2 of the 3 shots just before my 26th birthday. I felt weak and dizzy, my arm throbbed for days and then I felt like I had the flu. Slowly but surely the side effects are still rolling in 4 yrs later. I have temperary paralysis, memory loss, loss of sensation, i feel sensations that arent there like a bug crawling up my leg, I have headaches, I jerk a lot, restless legs, my feet swell and turn red or bluish white, my whole body hurts especially my back which swells up in my lower spine area, Heart palpatations and the list goes on. I am so devestated I was healthy and I have 3 little boys that need their momma!!!! When I go paralysed it effects my lungs too so I cant call for help and it only happens at night ranging from 30 mins to 5 hours. I am trapped in my body and since I can hardly breath I feel as if I am dying. I am scared to death that this will be life long.

For all the people saying this is anti-science or whatever ... science says whenever you inject something in your body, it isn't risk free.

Think about this next time you give permission for someone to inject something into your own body

Not saying not to have the injection, but make sure you are giving informed consent and understand the benefits vs the risk. If you are unlikely to see any benefit from the shot, you might want to think about avoiding the injection.

For people that give you crap, they just want you to be a compliant patient that doesn't cause them any trouble.

my daughters doctor told her she had non-hodgkins lymphoma and she was deathly ill, it also turned out to be an immune response to "something" undetermined- She got sick the DAY AFTER her third shot.

There seem to be several more menopause changes than the ones we think of as standard, hot flashes, moods swings, etc. I mean thyroid, weight gain, heart trouble. We need to be aware. Love this site by the way!

Tragically, cumulatively, thousands of girls (and now some boys) have become paralyzedor died from Gardisal around the globe. My understanding is that these cases were reported as far away as Australia, before the FDA knowingly approved this experiment. Researchers are now going to take another look? May I recommend that they start looking at the graveyards in honor of the innocent young victims of the pharma -money first machines. Science without Conscience.
