My daughter received one vaccine 4 years ago. She was perfectly healthy before, and the night of the vaccine, had a seizure episode with severe flu like symptoms. Every day since, she has continued to have flu like symptoms. Aches, pain, and is always tired. She is now 17, and still having difficulty just functioning like a normal teen.
We have been to multiple Dr's and they all get defensive when we bring up Gardasil. They can't find anything wrong except her white count is really high, and she has a low immune system.
I can't believe that nothing is being done about this vaccine!! I agree with the support group idea ... but we are not in Arkansas. We are in GA. Anyone else?

My sister, 14, had her first gardasil shot a week before she was found lying on the floor in the bathroom at school. Before this she felt nausis and had a bad headache. As a result she cant walk now. The past two weeks they have done extensive tests and sent her to 3 different hospitals still with no explanation. Before this she was an athlete playing on travel softball and soccer teams.

my once normal teenage daughter has been sick for over a year now. she had all three doses of the gardisil . she has been seen by numerous er doctors and several specialists . She was diagnosed with syncope which is 'FAINTING' and this summer with absence seizures.She has missed several days of school due to ambulance pick-ups/ doctor appointments which by the way we will have to attend attendance court.Tried asking a doctor about "possibility" of the gardasil he rambled on I never got a straight answer and never got all my questions out.

I think it is sad that our doctors are more concerned with malpractice then ensuring their patients safety. Why should it cost AMericans thousands of dollars per year for health coverage if our doctors are failing us. I don't believe this a problem that is one of our government, but a problem of greed. Our doctors no longer care about the health of the people, only the name of your insurance company. We have to make a change before our children suffer gravely do to ur greedy mistakes

im a 18 yr old girl soon to be 19. i had the 1st gardasil shot in sept 09.2 weeks later i had a lil bit of pain on my left flank and could feel a small pea size lump.as time went on the pain got worse and so did the problem it spread through my body.making my muscles and joints and babsicaly everything feel very weak.
i now have inflammation in my ribs and are very very tender and sore even both sides of flank. think i might have swollen intestines also.its been going on almost 2 yrs now and no soctor can figure it out..i gotta research and find it all out for myself but i am verry glad i finally found some answers after so long.this shot is filled with toxins and poisons i think its rediculus they can give this to people.someone should deffinantly put a stop to it. if i wulda got the other 2 shots of i probably wouldnt be alive.. each dose of gardasil has the same amount of toxins: 225mcg of aluminum , 35mcg of sodium borate , 50mcg of polysorbate 80 , 0.78mcg of L-histidine..the amounts of theese 3 times is not good. verry likely to cause fatal conditions and death
it just doesnt make sense that they wanna give this to ppl

I am a 23 year old graduate and I recently just had my first shot of gradasil and five days later I received the worst pain in my life. I had stomach pains,vision problems,dizziness and fatigue. I have never experienced anything like this and this pain went on for days. I am really praying that these symptoms don't come back. I really don't recommended anyone to get this shot, but when I asked my doctor about the symptoms I was having she told me maybe I just needed to go get my vision check,but after researching the shot I now know I am not crazy and was receiving the symptoms for a reason. Thanks for sharing.
