I'm 17; I got the HPV vaccine yesterday, at the same time as the meningitis vaccine, Hep A, and a TB test; all sitting up. Then they left me alone in the room for around ten minutes. (Yeah, my doctors are *fantastic.*) I fainted; they gave me oxygen for a long while.
I have no idea which vaccine caused it, or if it was just the combination of all of them, but I definitely think lying down, and the recommended observational period of 15 minutes, is important, especially for people with low blood pressure.
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 my 13 yr old daughter received her first Gardasil immunization and within two to three minutes collapsed and recovered from the "fainting" by becoming rigid, somewhat post ictal in my opinion. My concern is will there be any long term affects. She is definately not getting Gardasil again and I am informing all of her friends parents not to accept the vaccine. I wish there was a way that I could reach all parents before they submit their child to this dangerous vaccine.
My daughter recieved the Gardasil vaccine on Monday, Aug 6th, and it was given with several other vaccines. We were released with in a minute or so after injection. Within 5 minutes my daughter had a seizure in the car. I am positive it was the Gardasil vaccine and have t warning patients and parents of these side effects.
My daughter, 21 had the HPV vaccine administered on 8/8/07, at 0400 am on 8/9/07 she fainted and had a seizure. She is now hopitalized with slurred speech and left-side weakness. Please, give me more insight into this relatively new vaccine. Is there anything to counter-act the effect of Garasil.
Does anyone know the future problems associated with the vac and what happens if you do not finish the vacs after the second injection?
I am 21 and received the vaccine in dec and have fainted 20 time since then. I have been hospitalized and am still under the care of a cardiologist. I was healthy and athletic up until the vaccine, now I am always tired and hurt from fainting.
do parents have the right to decide for you whether or not you receive this vaccine? im 16.
Both my daughters, ages 17 and 14, received their first Gardasil shot in mid-July. They did not have any other immunizations at the same time. They had their meningitis vaccine the year before. After their Gardasil shot, they seemed fine, just a little sore at the injection site. But a month later my 14-year-old had a seizure with rigid left side. (Coincidentally, received the shot in her left arm). Her cat scan came back clean, but she must have an MRI and an EEG, and see a neurologist. I'm seeing incidents of seizures and other side effects immediately following administering the vaccine, but has anyone had any symptoms a month or more later? I was trying to do research, but there's so much out there, and conflicting reports, and I just get overwhelmed and confused. Now I don't know if I should have them continue the sequence. Insight from anyone would be appreciated!
I have had my symptoms for 8 months now and i recieved the 2nd dose but was advised by my neurologist not to revieve the 3rd.
On August 11, 2007, my 12 yrs old daughter got her first HPV shot. On August 18, 2007, she fainted right in front of my eyes at home. I took her to the doctor and some blood work will be done. However, after reading this article, I'm all concerned about the HPV shot she received and will definitely hesitate about her getting the second one.
On August 21, my 13 yr old daughter had her first HPV vaccine. She also had a menningitis and Hep A vaccine. Within minutes after receiving the vaccines, she fainted and had a short seizure type episode. She was given oxygen. The pediatrician told me that they are seeing a high incidence of fainting when the HPV vaccine is administered, so I am assuming that it was the HPV vaccine that caused my daughter's reaction. My 16 yr old daughter had her first HPV vaccine in March and the first booster in May...no reaction. In light of today's experience and what I am reading on this blog, there will be no more HPV vaccines for either of my daughters. I hope every parent will research this vaccine more throughly than I did before making the decision to get the vaccine for their daughters.
On 8/7/07 my 21 year old daughter received her 3rd HPV vaccine. Two hours after receiving the vaccine she fainted and had a seizure. She was taken to the ER by ambulance blood work and CT Scan of her head done and were negative. She had outpatient EEG done and was abnormal. Follow up with a neurologist and a MRI done which was negative. She is awaiting an appointment for a 24hour ambulatory EEG to be scheduled. I would advise any parent or young adult to investigate further before getting the vaccine. If I had known what I do now I would of advised her not to get the vaccine. I feel strongly it is related to the HPV vaccine. My daughter has no medical problems, no allergies and is a active and healthy person.
i got the first shot in june and im going for the second one soon. i was fine.
This is in response to Candi's question posted on Aug 16th about whether there are possible problems arising for not following up with the HPV shots. I have not had an opportunity to follow up on this with my daughter's doctor as she's currently on vacation but I checked with a pharmacist and he said that the only issue would be that the protection will not be complete. Thought of passing on this info to you. I'm not taking my daughter for the follow-up doses. I have reported her fainting spell to the doctor in writing and have sent her a Report of a Vaccine-Associated Adverse Event to be completed by her. My daughter is doing fine so far and I hope everybody who has experienced an adverse reaction probably related to this vaccine gets better. My best wishes to all of you.
in June, I recieved the first HPV shot and the menningitis, I have no clue which one came first, but withing 5 minutes (I made it to the lobby) and then I got dizzy and collapsed (still concious) and was fine after having a sprite and food.
this past thursday I recieved the 2nd, I was a little dizzy rigth at first but that is normal for me with any shot, but I was fine. I am now itching real bad, and have a rash on my back, up the back of one leg, on one arm, well yeah you get the picture.....
Thank you so much to all that replied. It has taken me a while to get back on here and I am just now reading all the responses and I am greatful.
My daughter is lacking her third shot and I am debating having her take it and what the consequences are if she doesn't finish them. She has not had any other vaccines in combination with the Gardasil. She has not had any symptoms of any adverse reactions. I am so torn. I hate what has happened to all the girls with bad reactions. I keep you all and families in my prayers. I have talked with several pediatricians and they have all been pro-gardasil. Nothing negative has been told to us other than combination vaccine or the gardasil not being a full protection but nothing of future complications.
Again, thank you all.
God bless

There trying to make it a law in TX. that females have to have it.
Regarding Michael's comment... the Texas legislature passed a law in May that prohibits mandating the vaccine. (Here's one story about it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18575675/)
My best gal-pal (18) recently recieved her first dose of Gardasil, along with a chicken-pox booster. For the past week has been sick with fever/nausea/daily vomiting. I'm so glad she hasn't had a fainting spell or any of the more serious side-effects, but I'm now seriously worried for her health and mean to keep a close eye on her.
I'm 16 years old, and I've recieved 2 of the 3 required shots. I didn't have any problems with the first two shots, but I'm worried about getting my third.
Also, lately (It's been about a month or two since I've gotten my last shot), but I've been having a very weird period. For the past two weeks or so, it's been really spotty, and I haven't had the normal symptoms I usually have for a period. Is it possible that this could be from the shot? I've had my period for more than a year, so it should be regular by now.
Any answers and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My daughter, 11, had her first shot done in June '07, just a few days after her 11th birthday. She had 5 shots total that day. The only problem she had was that the gardisil shot area swelled and was red and ichy for days. But after reading all of this I am readlly scared to get her her next shot. Her appt. for it is tomorrow. I really wish I knew what to do. Has anyone found out for sure yet if there are any complication from not getting any further shots?
The main reason I jumped on this band wagon with the shit is because I have HPV. I have cervical displasia from it. Which usually leads to cancer if not monitored. I just didn't want her to have to go through all the surgeries I have had. But now I am worried that she may have to go through something even worse. If anyone has any information that might help me please reply and let me know. Please.
Thank you,
Michele
I am so sorry I meant for that to say shot. That was just a typo.
"The main reason I jumped on this band wagon with the (should be shot) is because I have HPV."
Again I am sorry. So very sorry.
Michele
I received my second shot a few days ago. Aside from the cramping of my arm...everything is great. The shot itself doesn't hurt, it's just the after-effect of arm pain.
Just from reading over these though, it seems the majority of girls having problems with the shots are all young. I am 23 and hope that the final shot goes as smoothly as the first two.
that last post is right! I was reading through and also noticed that. but I started wondering, could it be based on body weight?
I am 17 and have passed out after both of my first two. so has a friend of mine who is in her twenties, we are both small for our height at just under 100 pounds. another friend of ours who is also 17 has also had it and has had no problem whatsoever with any of the
vaccines.
As a pre med student who has completed the HPV vaccine series, I find these reactions to be very troubling. Often times in the rush to find a possible preventative for something as daunting as cancer, we are apt to brush aside valuable warning signs and rush towards progress.
I had minor swelling and pain with all 3 injections, but no serious side effects. My 16 year old sister has had 2 thus far with no adverse reactions at all. She is also built very tiny, 103 lbs 5'1 and from what I've read the dosage does not depend on weight. Some people are predisposed to fainting after having injections or giving blood, and some reactions may be due to an allergy so be sure to know your family's medical history before authorizing any vaccinations. It wouldn't hurt to insist that your daughter be observed for up to 30 min after the vaccine just to be safe. If they are too busy, hang around the hospital or shot clinic until you are sure there will be no immediate reactions. If your child does have a history of allergic reactions to vaccines, ask your doctor what the vaccine is suspended in prior to authorizing the injections. There is a new HPV vaccine coming out soon that will offer an alternative to Gardasil. Until then, if your daughters have had no adverse reactions to their first exposure to the vaccine, in my opinion they would be fine to complete the series.
I was talking I'm 5' 6" and around 90-91 lbs....I meant BMI not weight...sorry.
After reading this I am very nervous about getting the HPV vaccine. I'm 16. My family has no notable medical history, I'm only allergic to cats, and I'm not prone to fainting at the sight of blood or any such thing.
Could anyone give me some deeper insight on this vaccine? The girls that have had serious side effects, how old are they? What is there families medical history like?
Should I, or should I not get this vaccine?
Unfortunately, the vaccine contains some unsavory additives that are known to be toxic. This is not the only vaccine that contains chemicals, and you have probably already been exposed to them repeatedly. It is known to contain...
- 225 mcg of aluminum, which has been linked to Parkinson's, ALS and Alzheimer's
- 25 mcg of mercury (thimerosal), more toxic than pure toxic waste and unfortunately used in major vaccines
While it seems to be alright in older girls, I would stay away from giving it to pre-teen girls and younger teens. My sister who is 16 was fine with it, but I might wait until 17 or 18 just to be safer. Also, judging from the stories here I wouldn't take it if you have a very low BMI, which isn't healthy to begin with. If you're not perfectly healthy, why tax your system? According to the manufacturers, its safe to use on girls as young as 9 but I wouldn't. Before people break into a mass panic, remember that for every problem case there are thousands of girls who receive the vaccine with no adverse reaction. Yes this is a vaccine that probably should not have been released as soon as it was, but we're not trying to create mass hystaria. You can make yourself physically ill if you go in for the vaccine expecting to come out sick so if you are that personally worried about it, don't get it. Remember, these ingredients while obviously not good for you have probably been used in almost every vaccine you have received. Mercury is a common preservative used in almost all vaccines, while the aluminum sulfate is a little harder to find.
I have 3 daughters 15, and twins that just turned 13, all 3 are petite and thin. The first two injections went
fine. On Tuesday, August 21 they went in for their last injection the nurse asked that all 3 girls go in separate rooms and lay down because some girls can get dizzy. All 3 of the girls complained that the fluid going in really burned their arms and that they felt very dizzy. By the time they got to the car they all began to get headaches and lasted through the night. On Sunday afternoon (5 days after the last injection) one of my twins suffered a seizure, there was no warning. She went by ambulance to the hospital. All tests; CT scan, chest xray, blood work, urinalysis, and MRI have all been normal. She is currently doing a EEG for 48 hours to see what caused her seizure. I believe it is connected to the HPV vaccine. I still worry for my other 2 daughters as well. After speaking with the pediatrician yesterday he said he spoke with Merck (the manufacturer) and they said seizures were not connected to the vaccine. After researching it, my pediatrician said he had found 2 cases where paralysis had occurred, he now refuses to administer the vaccine for at least a year until further research is done. Please think twice about this vaccine, I am thankful for many reasons but mostly because my daughter had been in a wave pool without an adult the day before the seizure and would have drowned had it occurred that day!! If I knew what I know now I would never get the vaccine.
To the previous poster Sarah, that is some bad information. The HPV vaccine absolutely does not contain mercury.
I'm 27 and have had the first 2 doses with no adverse effects but I'm really nervous about the third, which I get tommorrow.
You're right, instead of being suspended in mercury, it's suspended in aluminum. My daughter had a horrible reaction to this vaccine. It has cost me so much money in travel expenses and in seeing specialists that I am strongly considering a lawsuit. Merck continues to claim that there is NO connection to the seizures and the vaccine. How then are perfectly healthy girls suddenly dropping minutes after having this injection? I feel they need to answer to those affected.
I just got the third shot yesterday Sept. 14. I had no problems with the first two shots. So as the doctor was walking out of the room I asked her if this was the same as the first two. She replied, "yes". So I knew that I had nothing to worry about. Well the nurse comes in and gives me the shot. The instant she injected me I felt this sudden rush or fluid. My hearing went first...I lost it completely..everything was muffled and I heard a very high pitched ringing and the nurses voice was muffled but I could understand her. The next thing to go was my eye sight. I didn't black out but everything got gray and fuzzy. I started getting really hot and the nurse kept saying you're getting pale..your're getting pale. She ran and got me water and told me not to move. She made me smell and alchol swab and began fanning me. I never loss concious or got dizzy but I felt like I was going to drop dead right then. I started sipping water and she continued to fan me. I slowly came out of it. Slowly my hearing came back first (the high pitch ringing became less) ..then my eye sight was clearing up and the last thing I felt was my body cooling off.The nurse said my color was coming back. I never want to feel that again. That never happend with the first two but if it would have happened with either one of them I never would have continued with the shots. You don't know what will happen...it could be worse. It's a possibility that after the first two I could have developed and allergy and that is why it happened. So if you are developing an allergy with the first or second I wouldn't continue with the other shots. If I would have known that a few girls have died from it and that I could possible develop some complications 6 days to a month after the shots I don't think I would have gone through with vaccine. I am alive though and I am going to be looking for any symptons out of the ordinary like tingling sensation of my arms or legs. I hope that we get to the bottom of this and find out what's really happening.
Received my first HPV series on Monday, 9/17/07 - Fainted and fell off of the examining table about a minute after the injection. Have never had an adverse reaction to an injection, giving blood, etc. Am 23, medium build.
My 21 year old daughter received her 3rd gardasil vaccine on 8/7/07. She is average frame has no medical problems and no allergies. One hour after the vaccine she had a seizure luckily I was there with her. She was transported to the hospital. She had blood work, urinalysis, EKG, CT Scan of the head all negative. She was released with follow up with a neurologist. She had a MRI which was negative. EEG showed some abnormalities so a 24 hour ambulatory EEG was done which was negative. She is emotionally distraught overthis incidence. I also worry that there will be future problems. I would suggest anyone that is thinking about receiving this vaccine to investigate and then decide if it is worth the possiblity of serious side effects.
My daughter got her 3rd vaccine on Monday. The first two were very easy on her. No problems other than a mildly sore arm. Well, the third was very different from the first. At first all seemed well and I dropped her off about 45 minutes later at swim practice. It couldn't have been more than another 30 minutes and while she was stretching for warm ups she suffered a seizure. The thing that was worse than the seizure was that she was standing on a cement pool deck and hit her head so hard that she suffered a pretty bad concussion and lost consciousness. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital CT done, blood work done, and deemed well enough to go home. She has a huge lump on her head and the whole side of her head is swollen from the fall. Heaven forbid she was driving a car, or in the pool. I work in the public health sector and know that HPV is something I want to protect her from. I am concerned though that proper reporting is not being done when something like this happens an hour and fifteen minutes after the vaccine I was told it has nothing to do with the shot. Hmmmmmm. What is the true side effect rate if I'm told that her seizure wasn't due to her vaccine (she is a very healthy athlete who has never had any medical issues previously). My niece just had her 1st shot and had an abscess because it was not administered Intra muscular (they missed-oops).
I received my 2nd vaccine on Friday, Sept 28th. I am 24, medium build, and work out 4-5 days a week. I only received a vaccine for Gardasil on this day. 10 minutes after the injection I blacked out and had two seizures. Luckily my Mom was with me otherwise I would have fallen off the table. I did however hurt my neck...possibly during the first seizure. My Mom said I arched my back and flung my head in the air. Before the second seizure was over I started to regain consciousness. I still remember the shaking, I was drooling, and I didnt know who I was or where I was at. My vision was clouded at first as I couldnt hear what the people were saying or who they were either. My Mom said it lasted about 2-3 minutes in total. The ambulance was called and they took my vitals and my blood pressure was perfect 120/80. They took it twice to be safe. I have never had a seizure before nor do I have any known allergies or other medical conditions. I am very dissapointed that these side effects arent publicized. It is portrayed to the public as if there are no side effects. I plan to write as many organizations as possible and possibly contact a lawyer regarding Merck's misrepresentation of Gardasil. Its goes without saying that I will not be receiving the 3rd vaccine, who would.
I am 16 and got my first shot yesterday and about a minute after, began to feel very faint. I felt nauseated, I got a cold sweat, and I could barely walk. then, on my drive home, I almost fainted. I have been talking to my friends and a lot of them have felt faint after having gardasil. I don't know whether or not to continue with the injections or not especially after reading this, however, I don't want to have to worry about having HPV ever. I've never had allergies to anything before at all.
As a biomedical science graduate I thought Gardsil would be a relatively safe Vaccine as it is inoculated artificially instead of in an alive form e.g. an egg and it was well played out in Australia through the Media that the side effects were minimal.
I am medium build and 25 have asthma and allergic to cats. With my first injection I had a relatively sore arm and noticed that I had significant pains in my stomach the day of the shot. I thought it may have been ovulation pains and I also noted that my period was quite painful following the vaccine. I didn't think it was related to Gardsil until my second injection when I had extremely painful abdominal pain again the day of the injection and had my period the next day (2.5 weeks early and I have never been early). The pain was quite bad and the period was the heaviest it has ever been. I wasn’t worried until I started vomiting and had nausea and vomiting till the following week. The Doc said it was not related to Gardsil and I am waiting on blood test results. I am extremely nervous to get my third injection however I have three sisters and they are screening all girls in high school here and only a few reported side effects in her year of over 100 girls. To be honest I am worried that there is too little info about the vaccine especially the long term effects.
My 16 year old daughter had her first dose of the HPV vaccine 9/26/2007. About 10 seconds after they gave her the injection she had a seizure. She lost full bladder control, her eyes rolled back into her head, her body became rigid and her arms were moving in a very unnatural way. She had no recollection of the seizure she only remembers what seemed like a train coming at her very fast and she could only see the bright headlight. The ob/gyn office called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital. We are waiting for the nuerologist to see her and run some tests.
To those of you who are concerned about not completing the series, you should be much more concerned about what could happen if you do.
I am thoroughly read on this vaccine and I have to remind you:
this vaccine has not been proven to prevent cancer and this vaccine does not protect against all strains of HPV that can cause cancer. Merck has mislead you and lied to you and its all about greed. Please listen to your feelings, if you have any concerns whatsoever, don't get the first, the second, or the third shot. And mothers please don't force your daughters to receive this shot if they don't want it.
My daughter, 18 received her second dose two days ago. She had no complaints with the first shot but this time she complained of a very sore arm from the injection and last night she noticed that her hand has been shaking -on and off. Just curious if anyone else has experienced that and if it could be related to the shot.
I received my first HPV injection last December. I was 31 at the time. I would say 10 minuted after the injection, which was very painful, I fainted. I scared the nurse who gave me the shot. I finished the shots and did not faint again. I did faint just recently though again. I just happened to be on an airplane at the time. I do not know Im still suffering from side affects from the last shot. I just hope there is no neurological damage. I am heavy set, I have no allergies and did not get any other vaccinations at the time. I hope this information helps. If I can be of any more help, please feel free to contact me.
my niece had her first dose in april of 2007 has had major problems every since fainting dizziness seizures seeing things not remembering right after it happens,it happened so much this year on october 12th it happened and they said she's not allowed back in school until problem is taken care of.who knows when it comes about and she scared. i can count past two hands how many times this happened and she is only 12.
after my first guardasil vaccine, at age 16, i fainted on my way to the reception desk. it was horrible and really shook me up since i have never had any problems with fainting before. the doctor didnt tell me that there was a possibility of fainting and said i was the first at that office to faint from it. later on i talked to a nurse from the gyno/ob branch of the practice who informed me that fainting is quite often after the vaccine. i had no problems after the second vaccine, i think because the nurse made me lay down for about 20 mins. and drink some water. i plan on getting the third vaccine because i think it wont have any serious effects for me. However i wouldnt reccomend this to girls who have a history of these problems. an interesting fact the gyno/ob nurse i talked to told me was that they are in the process of developing an hpv vaccine for boys since they are the carriers of it.
my daughter got gardisil meningitis and hep shots she collapsed minutes after, rushed to er by ambulance now 3 days later suffering from severe abdomenal pain tests revealed elevated wbc count ,blood in urine , doctor ordered cat scan for kidney stones negative cat scan for appendicitis again negative now we are undergoing still more tests the question is who is responsible for the cost of a questionable drug like this ? there has to be a reasonable answer i also would add that she is 5'7 and about 105 the pattern of slender people affected is repetitive to say the least
i took two of the three shots and had no side effects so far... I'm taking my last soon but don't know if I should take it. Should I?
I was 26 and had the first two shots. Did not go back for my third. I have experienced a lot of what feel like mini-seizures. My body jolts a lot and I have a lot of unsteady movements. I did not notice this before. I am on a medication, Topamax, to balance my moods and this medication was actually developed to control seizures so I don't know what it would be like if I were not taking it? I am 5'8 and about 128. I feel terrible for anyone that is having serious problems from complications from this immunization and I worry about the long term effects for us all.
My 13 year old daughter received the shot on Friday, right after receiving it she felt dizzy, shortly after that she started to twitch and jolt. I called the health unit to find out if this was a normal side effect, they said it was not, however they aren't completly sure due to the fact that it is so new.
She will not be finishing the other two shots, and in reading the other cases, I am worried now about later side effects.
My daughter age 13 received 3 shots on Sept 26th -MMR,Meningitis shot and chicken pox shot-then was told to give blood after and then walked 50 feet and fainted. She says now she feels run down after these shots were given to her about 6 weeks ago.
my 13 year old daughter received 1st shot of guardasil in dec 06. approximately 2 weeks later suffered from severe fatigue for 2 wks. she received 2nd dose feb 07, 2wks later suffered severe nausea and fatigue x 3wks. received 3rd shot april 07, and has been suffering from severe fatigue,nausea, extemetity weakness, headaches and abdominal pain.
the fatigue is so severe that she is being home schooled by the school district. she has and will be seeing a number of experts at children's hospital in boston.
I GOT ALL THREE SHOTS AND DIDN'T AHVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL MY LAST ONE. I GOT IT ON OCT 10. MY ARM IS STILL SO SORE I CAN BARELY LIFT IT. I AM LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY ARM. IT IS VERY PAINFUL AND HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS. I WOULD THINK THE SIDE EFFECTS WOULD BE GONE BY NOW. I AM NOT HAPPY THAT THE DRS AREN'T GIVING ALL THE INFO THEY SHOULD BEFORE GIVING THE SHOT.
I am 20 years old and i just recieved my 2nd shot two days ago. I never had any side effects with the first shot rather than some pain in my arm. However, the day after i had the shot i experienced weakness, nausea, fever and dizzyness and i am still feeling these symptoms two days after the shot. I have never had any allergic reactions to any shots and the only thing i am allergic to is long-haired dogs and cats. I am 150 pounds of athletic build and im wondering if the only reason i didn't faint is because i am of a larger build
My daughter got her first Gardasil shot in June along with a meningitis vaccination. She got the second shot on Aug. 21. The third week in September she developed headaches, fever, nausea and vomiting. The fever and nausea went away after a week but she still has headaches. She had a CAT scan that found a sinus infection but she did have a cold at the time. Does anyone else know about delayed reaction headaches to either or both of these vaccines?
my daughter took it like a champ, shes our football teams starting linebacker. she was able to go right back to practice no problem
My 16 year old daughter recieved the first shot about a month ago. Had a fever and complained about being dizzy. Today she had to be brought to the emergency room due to possible apendicitis. They found an ovarian cyst, but ruled out ap. I am now very wary about getting her the second shot. She has always been very healthy and active. Hope it wasn't this shot.
Look at what's going on in Roane County Virgina at william byrd high school Young girls are twitching uncontrollably and no one can figure out why. I have a hunch about this...don't you? No daughter of mine will ever receive this vaccine.
My daughter and I were just watching the news in locally and a special on this is to air at 11:00 pm tonight - we were curious and pulled up this website. My daughter had the first shot with her father and explains that she almost fainted. She describes a great deal of pain and she had problems walking to the receptionist afterwards. She had the second shot which was fine, we are scared to get the third one. She is medium built and has no allergies at all. Is very healthy. Her shot was accompanied with others the day she had the adverse reaction.
Hi my name's Diana, i'm 19 years old, and 128lbs. I had my first shot on August 8, 2007 and everything seemed fine and normal. My second shot was given to me on October 8, 2007. After the shot, my arm was really sore, but i figured that it was normal. It has been a little over a month now and i'm still suffering, though it seems like the pain has gotten worst. My arm feels extremely weak and my muscles feel all tensed up. This is only on my left arm (where i received my shot). I received my shot at the Health Department and they told me that it's nothing serious. I don't know how to get rid of this pain. I have no allergies. After reading all of these other comments, I'm really afraid of what might happen next.
I have had two shots with no side effects other than a sore arm. Though after my most recent shot, it's taken about 20 days for the soreness to come back and worse than ever. I am curious to know if anyone that questioned continuing the series of vaccinations actually did. If so, what was the outcome? Did anyone with adverse reactions to vaccination one or two go on to vaccination three with no problem?
My daughter, age 17, received her first shot yesterday. She cried after getting it saying how painful it was. Her arm is very sore. Today, she woke up with fever and nausea. After reading these posts, I am sorry I did this. I will not be getting the second and third shots for her. What will happen if I dont? What will happen if I DO? She is tall and thin.
My 15 yr old daughter (5'8" 135lbs) received her second shot 5 days ago and has abdominal pain, backpain and extreme fatigue. No problem with 1st dose given with other immunizations.

I had the first HPV Vaccination on February 25, 2007. From then until now the left arm that was injected has been in severe pain. I went to my primary care doctor about it and she was all but supportive...pushed me away so I actually had to get a new primary care at another medical associates office. At first it was so painful and even hurt too much to raise it above neck level. I had to go to 2 1/2 months of physical therapy with shocks therapy, massaging, hot packs, exercise,etc....barely any improvement so I discontinued it. I went to a neurologist, my primary care doctor SEVERAL times, and got an EMG that was inconclusive.
I am still in constant pain every day, and have pains throughout my legs as well (not sure if that is related). All I know is that before this year I never had any severe pains as I do after the shot...I hope more people are taken seriously when showing concerns of the arm pain they feel after the injection. I was told I have to wait a year and a half and MAYBE my arm will heal then... :-(

My daughter, age 17, received her first shot yesterday. She cried after getting it saying how painful it was. Her arm is very sore. Today, she woke up with fever and nausea. After reading these posts, I am sorry I did this. I will not be getting the second and third shots for her. What will happen if I dont? What will happen if I DO? She is tall and thin."
I only got the ONE shot...unfortunately my arm pain has no ceased....make sure your daughter does not keep arm stiff. My mom is a personal trainer and you need to make sure she moves her arm and does light arm exercises. If your daughter has such arm pain from that definitely do NOT let her get the other shots....I've heard of a case of paralysis in Florida. This is a horrible thing that others have had similar cases as me. I was told it COULDN'T have been because of the shot.....it's like everyone is keeping quiet about it....I HATE hearing the ads for the vaccine and have to shut the radio off when I even here HPV Vaccine mentioned.
My name's Diana, I've posted a comment earlier and I want to update a little again. Like Bethany, I too went to my physician and they are ignoring the fact that all of this has only appeared after my Gardasil shot. On the day of my previous comment, my legs became sore and the pain seems to be increasing ever since. I haven't been doing any kind of excessive excercising, or anothing out of the ordinary. I've never experienced muscle pain that appeared out of absolutely NO WHERE in the past and I am almost certain that this is due to my second shot. It hurts to walk.. and my injected arm is still in pain. I'm just praying that I don't have Guillian-Barre Syndrome.
I posted earlier, I go to have my 3rd one done at the end of december. the only thing that has developed since then is that I am unbearably itchy almost all the time, and I have now developed an allergy to yeast.
so i got my first gardasil today.
right after i got it i felt awful it hurt so bad. i felt like i got stabbed in the arm.
i cried so hard thats how much it hurt and im usually fine with that kind of stuff.
a few seconds later i started to feel dizzy everything became fuzzy and i heardd a ringing in my ears. everything blacked out and i couldnt hear anything. i layed down and then felt a little better.
all this readingg of these posts scare me whether im going to get the 2nd or third.
because i already have seizures and id ont want more cuz i keep reading on how many ppl have been having them.
i broke out ina cold sweat. and had the worst headache after.
im really worried about this.
my friend had it and she was sleeping and then she never woke up her mom splashed water on her face and evverything she woke up in the ambulance they ran tests and they never knew what happenedd till this day.
imm really worried about this.
Hi. Originally i didnt want the hpv vaccine. i had to get my MMR shots, but they decided to give me the meningitis shots first and followed by my 1st dose of gardasil.
the vaccination place said i have to get all mandatory shots to get my other shots for free. it was almost as if they forced me into it and then set it up so i HAVE to get my second one because i need my MMR.
well, 2 months went by.
and well let me explain something else that has to do with my story.
i am a 17 year old petite girl who has been on Depo Provera birth control since i was 15.
i hadnt had my period in over 14 months! because depo provera stops it all together.
around the time that i was at the end of when my second dose should have been given, suddenly i got very hormonal, very sickly, and all of a sudden next thing you know.. im having my period 3 days on 1 days off for the next 5 weeks!
after my first shot i felt very sick. my eyes had problems with focusing and my muscles have been very twitchy ever since.
i often find myself having to turn away from lights or screens because my whole face starts twitching.
never happened before! i blame everything on gardasil and WILL NOT go back for my last doses!
i got the hpv shot today and i habe been feeling dizzy since then, i feel really unconfortable and everything below me moves alot i wont get my next 2 shots because it is a really bad dizziness, the worst one i ever had!!!
My daughter had the vaccine for hpv at her check up on 11/21/07. After about 1 minute she passed out onto the floor and began to have a seizure. Her seizure lasted about 30 sec to 1 minute. She was confused and extremely sick to her stomach when she awakened. She had urinary incontinence which determined that she definitely had a seizure. She vomited all the way home and now we are going to see a neurologist. I had no idea of these problems before I agreed to have the vaccine administered. I am really upset over the whole situation. Has anyone reported long time neuro problems? I hope my daughter is okay.
I am really surprised by all the side effects of this vaccination. I was told after going through rigorous physical therapy that it may take me over a year to regain full use of my left arm. I wish there was a way to get our voices heard...because the commercials make this vaccination look good to all.
My 22yr. old daughter was given a 4th Gardasil injection and we were told by the Doctor to watch for side affect. What will the long term side affect be? They don't know. So parents keep a real close record as the DOCTORS DON'T.
MY DAUGHTER WAS VERY HEALTHY BEFOR HER 2ND VACCINE OF GARADSIL, AFTER A FEW DAYS HER LEGS STARTED TO FEEL VERY TIRED AND SORE AS THOUGH SHE HAD WALKED ALL DAY EVEN WHEN SHE HAD JUST GOTTEN UP FOR THE DAY. THEN SHE STARTED TO GET VERY BAD SHARPE SHOOTING PAINS IN THE STOMACH, THE PAINS ALSO SHOOT DOWN IN THE LEGS AND INTO HER CHEST. HER VISION IS VERY BLURRED, WE HAVE SEEN PROBLEY 30 DRS IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS AND BEEN IN 4 DIFFEERENT HOSPITALS. HER WHITE BLOOD COUNT IN HER URINE IS ELEVATED AND HER PLATLETT LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL,SHE ALSO HAD BLOOD IN HER URINE. SHE NOW HAS LOST 20 LBS AND NONE OF THE DRS CAN FIND AN ANSWER FOR OUR FAMILY. WE HAVE HAD TO TAKE OUT OF UGA FOR THE SEMISTER AND SHE HAS REGISTER TO GO BACK IN JAN BUT SHE IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF IMPROVING,. I WENT TO A NATURAL DR IN ATL GA AND WE ARE SENT A HAIR FOLICAL TEST OFF WHICH TAKS 4 WEEKS FOR ANY RESULTS. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY ADVISE FOR US PLEASE RESPOND , WE WELCOME ANY ADVICE, WE ARE DESPERT TO GET OUR HEALTHY DAUGHTER BACK.
has any one experienced these symptoms yet
I posted a comment on the other link regarding my 19-year old daughter's reaction to Gardasil vaccine. I have a couple of questions: Is everyone reporting these adverse effects to Merck and VAERS? Is the information on this website being collected with any intent of formalizing it so that the medical professionals become aware of the potential problems and may be able to come up with recommended treatments?
Crystal, Thank you for writing again. I am not a medical professional but am happy to offer my blog as a location to collect this valuable information.
I am very concerned by all of these stories and, when I can, I have been making efforts to get someone to pay attention. I contacted the New York Times science section a few months ago; contacted another newspaper when someone suggested this might be related to a problem they reported in Virginia; and recently sent the letter to NY Senator Sorvino posted separately on this website. I will continue to do so until this information becomes more widely known.
Please feel free to post this information to other websites, contact government representatives, start email campaigns or anything else you think will help.
Thanks again, -k
Hi, it is so hard to find things on the HPV vaccine because it is talked up so much to be this miracle vaccine. My gyno had reccommended that i get the shot being 19 and at college. I figured it wouldnt hurt so i recieved the first vaccine. Everything seemed to be normal until about a week later when I went back to school. I had broken out into quarter size welts all over my face. It was so red and swollen and painful to the touch. Even during puberty i had never experienced any type of severe acne, so it was very abnormal for me. For about three weeks the welts remained and starting throbbing and itching. They went away for about a week, but new welts appeared sure enough, smaller this time but more. I had no idea what was happening to my face, it was so mortifying i was embarrassed to leave my apartment. I did research and articles said that the 1st dose stays in your system for about 3 months, so i figured i would continue with my normal washing regiment and wait it out. Sure enough just as I suspected, it has been about 3 months and two weeks and ever single welt on my face is gone, and my face is back to normal. I have some scarring but that will go away in time im sure. I went to a dermatologist and she said that the two were completely unrelated..I think that she is wrong, I know my body and I know that something in the vaccine caused my body to freak out. It is just too strange of a coincidence. I for sure will not be getting the last two doses. Has anyone else had a skin problem after the vaccine?
I am a 41 y/o male who is researching this subject for a speech class. I chose this topic because I have 2 daughters ages 9 and 12 who we were going to get the vaccine administered to on Oct 22nd. After reserching it, we changed our minds.
I am still researching it and stumbled onto this site tonight. I am sorry that so many are having troubles and am glad that I decided not to get it for my girls. I think someone should bring this out in the open. I can't believe that doctors are recommending it so strongly. Our pediatrician has kids the same age as mine and she recommended it to us. The tough part is that they are saying that many of these symptoms are not related to the vaccine and therefore it is hard to find statistics about the side effects of Gardasil.
My doctor, who I have always trusted, recommended the vaccine for my 11 year old daughter at her well child check in september.She had the shot that day. She had no noticeable side effects. She will NOT be receiving a second shot. I feel responsible that I did not check into gardasil first. When I was at the doctors office with her, I thought about calling my husband to see if he heard of this vaccine and what I should do. I didn't call him, and when I got home , told him about it. He said He would have advised against it for our daughter.
My 11 yr old daughter received the vaccine back in August. We were quickly ushered out after the vaccine, and as soon as we got in the car, she began to seize. I have never been more horrified in my life. Our pediatrician brushed it off as if it were completely normal and assured me that the vaccine and the seizure were not related. I believed him until I did a little digging of my own. I contacted our local news station who did a story on her reaction, and they also reported the astonishing number of girls that have had a reaction. When I went back to get a copy of her medical records I was suprised to see that he didn't chart her seizure OR that she had ever received the vaccine. Even the Neuro doc we took her to assured me that there was no way that they were related. I seriously feel like I am in the middle of a bad "conspiracy" movie. Why is there such a cover up??
I am so happy that there are other people out there that believe that this vaccine can be harmful. I really thought that my mother and I were the only ones. I don't understand why doctors aren't getting it, and why so many are brushing this off as if it is nothing. Clearly perfectly healthy people are having serious reactions, and they are still pushing this vaccine on girls. Especially girls that are so young, it really makes me sick. Is there anything that we can do to get this out in the open??
My 20 year old daughter had the first hpv shot and seemed ok until about 1 week later. She gets a horrible rash of hives all over her body during the night. The hives go away during the day, but are now beginning to occur on some parts of her body before night. Do you think this might be related to the Guardasil shot?
My 15 year old daughter who is very athletic received her second shot at the end of August. For the next few weeks she complained of severe stomach pains. We finally took her to the ER and she was diagnosed with appendicitis. Has anyone else heard of this being a side effect? Her appendix had actually over rotated at birth and was behind her bladder. She too had high a high white blood cell count in her urine. She still complains of stomach pains when she runs or does any other activity for an extended period of time.
I have a 13 yr old daughter she is about 5'3" and weighs about 110 lbs.She has had the first 2 shots and the only problems she realy had at first was a sore arm now she suffers from back pain and has not had a period for 2 months. I will be taking her to the drs to find out what is going on ( she is not sexually active) but I'm sure this is due to the hpv vaccine. I was suppose to take her in today for the third shot but reschedualed the appt but I will be canceling that appt after reading the problems from the shot my daughter will not be getting her last shot!!!
On a whim my I decided to take the vaccine after my doctor offered it. I am 20 years old, medium build (5'7" 135 lbs). Within a minute I became fait and dizzy and struggled to get my sweatshirt back on (took it off so I could get the shot) and back to the waiting room where I was wheelchaired off to a seperate room to recover. I have never experienced any allergic reactions and am terrified that I'm not the only one that had this reaction. My whole left arm is still sore and VERY weak. I feel as though I have poisoned myself and will suffer permanent consequences :( I WILL NOT be taking the next to vaccines, I shame on myself for jumping on this and feel that it is too soon for it to be safe for the public.
I got my first shot of Gardasil on November 7th. About a week and a half later i started getting really bad itching. I then started getting dizzy and after lying down, felt better but woke up with a terrible headache. Had the dizziness the whole day, weird heart beat...I ended up in the emergency room. This was almost 3 weeks ago and my headache has not gone away. has anyone else experienced this? do u think this is permanent damage? I'm seeing a nuerologist on Tuesday
I amm 22 and I got the shot last week 11/28/07. I will not get the 2nd and 3rd. Since then I've had headaches everyday and I've been itching like crazy. I thank God that I found out more info before the next series because I will not be getting them and I pray that none of the other things I've read here happens to me. I can't even imagine what it you mothers are going through with your daughteres getting this vaccine. I emailed my doctor and told her I will NOT get the next two shots, don't even send me information on them. I am not putting that crap back into my body.
Hi. I will be 22 this month. I recently had the vaccine on the 6th of Decemeber. I experienced the side effects listed such as pain and itching in injection site, nausea and I had a serious headache. I took pain killers for the headache and slept most of the night. I awoke feeling better the next morning. However, the pain and itching continued. I began feeling pain in my other arm as well. Earlier this year I got a tetanus shot in that arm so I'm not sure if there's a correlation between that shot and the new hpv shot. I'm just constant praying that nothing is wrong. And I will be seeing a doctor to verify that nothing is wrong. I too am ashamed to have made such a rushed decision to get this vaccine. I am not and have not been sexually active neither am I planning to be before marriage.
i had my first shot about 6 months ago
although i also got my chicken pox booster and my blood drawn i have never felt light headed or faint before the shot
the next day i was in a coffee shop and threw up although i had no previous symptoms of being sick and it wasnt anything in the shop.
i still dont know if this has anything to do with the shot but i havent had my period since the shot... im really scared that i may have one of the more serious side effects and im unsure of what will happen if i dont get the next 2 shots
i dont want to panic people but what if this is a long term symptom???
why wasnt i told about the fainting seziures? i didnt even know this was still a form of trial run i thought it was in the clear.
sry i forgot
i was 15 when i got the shot and am 16 now
i weigh 136 lbs
thats bout average right?
I have a question...My daughter received her first shot last spring..two weeks later her face started breaking out with cystic acne..which she has never had. She is eighteen and her complexion has always been clear with very few superficial break-outs. It seems very strange that this occured so soon after this vaccine. We are still battling this acne, but it is finally starting to clear up. We do not want to take the risk of this occuring again after the next dose.. classmates of hers with no history of acne are also suddenly breaking out. Is there a possibility that this can be related? Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi, yes the exact same thing happened to me. (i am 19 yrs old) i posted a few weeks ago about it but yes, i had serious cystic acne about a week after I got the shot. it was the strangest thing. I never had acne before, even during puberty. it has been about 3 1/2-4 months (around the time i am supposed to get the next one) and it is clearing up now but it is not gone quite yet.
personally, my mom and i think that it is related for sure..
Im 16 years old and had the 3rd HPV vaccine on the 30th of october.
within the days following i noticed my right heel started hurting and it was swelling and had red blotches on it and i couldnt walk. it was really really sore.
a coouple days after, i could walk again but i was getting cramps in my calf, the cramps became more frequent and i only had to walk a short distance before it started to hurt.
i had an ultrasound of my calf and it showed that i had a blockage in the main artery.
i went to hospital to have the blockage removed and it was a tricky procedure because my vessles were spasaming making it harder to balloon it and remove the clot. i was in hospital for 2 weeks.they did so many other tests on me and everything was fine. i was fine after the 1st and 2nd HPV vaccination aswell.
the specialists and doctors still dont know what caused the clot or the pain in my heel, they dont know if it's related to the vaccine or not.
but it all started after the 3rd injection.
if anyone else has had similar syptoms could you please reply as me and my family are all still concerned
I would like to thank everyone for their postings. I received my first shot on the 13th of December and I regret making such a rushed decision since I am very aprehensive about drugs or vaccinations to begin with. Nonetheless, I have not experienced any unusual sypmtoms thus far other than soreness at the site of injection. I certainly do not plan to continue with the other two doses. I have faith, by the Grace of God, that I will be alright. Everything happens for a reason and I am glad that my curiosity has directed me to this site - if only I had read this sooner. I am an African American female, 22 years of age, and medium built (140lbs, 5"5'). I will keep you all in my prayers.
Last week, my 12 year old step daughter had her second dose of the HPV vaccine and a parent was asked to stay at school during the vaccination due to previous dizziness and nausea during the first dose, but we were assured it was safe. Immediately after the shot, she lost vision and became very tired, her eyes rolled back and stayed unfocused. We went to the hospital and she was diagnosed with a complex migraine and sent home. Returned to school the next day, still feeling unwell but functioning. 2 days later, on the way to a class trip, threw up and regained previous symptoms, but more severely. Returned to hospital and was admitted where she has been for a week. The first few days, she was not cognitively aware of what was going on around her, unable to speak, in and out of consciousness, her eyes were rolling back and unfocused- these symptoms have since subsided. She is still experiencing incontinence and lack of sensation of needing to use the washroom, blurred and double vision, headache, near constant contraction of arms and legs and muscular pain (likely due to contractions). She is unable to walk, bear weight on her legs standing or direct her feet forward very well to mimic the motion of walking (even when her upper body is being supported) by a person on either side. Even sitting in a wheelchair is exhausting for her. She is now mentally t provided any physio or Occupational therapy as of yet in the hospital.
Where we live, in Canada, they are giving this vaccine to grade 8 girls in school. Does anyone have any advice for how to proceed or anything that has helped anyone you know recover from similar symptoms?
Previous post- The second last paragraph is supposed to say...She is now mentally alert and functioning. They have not yet provided any physio.... etc.
hi i got the first shot of the vaccine and now i dont want to get the rest. my teacher scared me with the fact that they dont know the long term effects and they could be harmful. does anyone think i should not get the rest of the shots? and know if there could be side effects if i do?
By reading these i really dont want to get the other two shots now any advice?
i to have recently posted as to what happened to my daughter after her 2nd vaccine. she is still not well after 6 months, we are doing a heavy metals detox,it is not a fast fix but we are getting the aluminun and the other poisons out of her systems, look in to celeation therpy and infered saunas, and ion cleasnes. they reslly work to get the toxions out.i hope this will help some of you
My 13 year old daughter had her annual check up today. They recommended a flu shot, as well as the gardisil. We chose to schedule it for next week, due to the fact that my daughter was playing in a basketball game today. I decided to do some checking, and came across this site. I am so glad I did! I am horrified to hear these stories. I will not even consider her having the vaccine now; but I wonder, should I research this more? My brother works for a pharmaceutical company and I know he will be straight with me. What do you think?
I wish I'd come across this website earlier! I got the first shot yesterday. So an hour or so after the shot my arm began to feel numb. When that went away I began to have trouble breathing, and it hurt to breath. I'm sure as hell not going to recieve any other shots! I suppose I'll have to ask my doctor about what will happen if I discontinue it like that.
I had the second shot and had to lay down on the sidewalk outside the doctor's office after they let me go right away. I was dizzy, nauseous and faint. My arm was swollen and sore for almost 2 months. my arm muscles ached and I could hardly use my arm. I won't get the third shot.
im almost 11 yrs.and i've already had my 1st vacinne and after reading a lot of these comments im really worried about getting the 2nd and 3rd shots. if anyone has any advice on weather or not i should get the other two shots, that would GREAT!!!!!
My daughter age 16 had a sore arm with first HPV shot and cried because she said it hurt so much. After the second shot she fainted while we were standing at reception desk to schedule third shot. SHe gets very anxious but has never fainted before. The nurses were unconcerned and said that it is a common reaction to having a shot - "even big guys faint sometimes." We figured it was nothing. The third shot was also painful, but because of the prior fainting spell, they had her lie down immediately after the shot. She did feel like she was going to faint, but did not. Now after reading all this I wish we hadn't done it. Her Dr. has three young daughters and plans for all 3 to be vaccinated when they are old enough. That was what convinced me that we should do it. Good luck to you all, and I hope this is resolved son.
forgot to mention above - daughter weighs 90 lbs, 5'2"
is very slight in stature, no allergies
I think that it has a lot to do with the fact that doctors give the same dose to everyone. Someone who is lets say 5 ft tall and 98 pounds should not be getting the same amount of vaccine as someone who is 5'11 and 150 pounds at one time. I would suggest having the vaccines split up even more if possible. Doctors will be reluctant to do this, but it can happen sometimes. My mom did that for me when I was a child getting my first shots. I would still advise people to think twice before getting it, this that is only due to the bad experience that I had with the vaccine. Good luck!
both of my daughters recieved the gardisil shot nov 6 07 3 weeks after the shot my oldest daughter 16 years old, woke up to not being able to walk or feel her legs, we took her to the hospital and was then admitted with guillian beree syndrome. and for 4 days was paralyzed from the top of her knees down it has been a month and a half and now my youngest daughter age 13 is experiencing the same symptoms they are both very tired all the time passing out episodes not feeling well.both girls are having these symptoms. the have done 2 mris and many blood test and now want to say it is stress and put my daughter on prozac.this was bothering me alot until i have been researching this shot now at least i know what it is. the question now is how long are these things that are happening to my girls going to last so please any body out there thinking about getting this shot i would think twice about it. i need to know what i can do about this and know how long this will last.terri from utah
I am 17 years old, 5'4", 120 lbs (medium), and otherwise healthy. Yesterday I received four shots: influenza, a chicken pox booster, a meningitis shot, and the HPV vaccine. About 20 seconds after I received my shots (two in each arm), I felt extremely tired, nauseous, and dizzy. I remember looking at the floor and knowing that my vision was turning black; I said "I feel really dizzy," and that's all I remember. According to my mother and the nurse, I fell backwards after fainting. My eyes rolled back in my head and I started shaking. I was unconscious for 3-5 minutes. I have been okay so far other than a headache and a VERY sore arm, but all these posts are scary. My grandmother read an article in the paper today (the Cap. times, I think) about this vaccine and girls' reactions. I will NOT be getting the second or third shots, but I am wondering if that will be dangerous as well...

They need to do more testing before promoting this drug so heavily. Had I known of side-effects others are experiencing as well as my own, I'd have not started the series.
I'm 24, 5'5" 127lbs, athletic build, and generally healthy. I received my first injection 10/07 and had no problems. My second injection in 12/07 was very different. My arm hurt at the injection site and felt numb and tingly elsewhere. The day after, my entire body ached and I felt dizzy, feverish, and lethargic - this lasted about a week. My arm still is not right even after 3.5 weeks. I am not sure whether I'll get the last immunization - it's expensive and I don't know if the side effects with the final dose will be even worse.
Has anyone else had numbness and weakness in the arm in which the shot was administered?
Okay so im back again, and i got my first dose on November 13th 2007 and had only a side effect of a sore arm for about 3 weeks. I got my second dose on december 27th 2007 and my arm did not hurt, however, right after the shot i did feel dizzy. I am going back for my third dose in april only because from my experiance, i know that not eveyrone gets the worse of it. For those of you who have the pain in ur arm for a long period of time, that is not a side affect of the shot, however it is an affect of the doctor not putting the needle in the correct way. I hope some of you ladies listen to my good experiance and not just those that are bad, cause yes, fainting is semi-sucky at the time of it, but would u rather fant that one time, or Get cervical cancer?
I just received my last shot of the series and I am fine. I am a little tired though, so I would strongly recommend anyone with iron-anemia to be cautious.
I am 18, 5'6" and 165 pounds. I have an athletic build and work out 4-5 times a week. I just got the first shot today. Right after I received the shot I felt slightly dizzy but thought it would go away so I stood up and started to walk to check out. At the check out desk I started to feel like I was going to throw up. Then everything started to go black and my hearing began to dull. I went and sat down right away. If I had not of sat down I would of fainted. My vison was so bad I could not even see a chair to sit in. I have never fainted before or ever lost my vision like that before. However my doctor did mention before that for some reason girls seem to faint after getting shots. They just gave me juice and laid me down. She took my blood pressure twice. The first time it was extremely low, the second time it was back to normal. I have seen on websites they think the fainting might be linked to the pain from the shot or seeing the needle. I do know for sure it was not from seeing the needle because I have had shots before with no problem. I also know it was not because of the pain. I did not think the shot was that painful and did not get sick till 5 minutes after the shot. Im unsure if I am going to get the last two. I am going to wait and see how I feel in the next couple weeks. Hope this helps!
I just talked to the doctor that administered the shot again. After doing some research she found an article in a medical journal that was documenting the first case of numbness and pain in the arm in which the vaccine was administered. This was just last month! Fortunately for that patient, she was able to recover after months of intense physio-therapy. The symptoms, age, and other circumstances sound suspiciously similar. I'll post info about the article for you all when I get a copy from the doctor. I've contacted Merck, whom didn't really help much, and am submitting some paperwork so that they can research the side-effects.
As someone mentioned, numbness in the arm can be caused by putting the needle in improperly, but that would've cleared up by now. I'm so glad I got the vaccination in my non-dominant arm otherwise I'd have been unable to work.
Weird things always happen to me so it's no surprise that I am that 1 in 5000 people who has an adverse reaction.
If you haven't had any problems with your vaccinations, I say complete the series by all means, you'll be protected that much more.
i received the 1st shot on 19/9/07 had very sore arm and lump for 3days after receiving the vacc. then got very bad flu symptoms. 2mths later i had the 2nd 1 same reaction again, but then 3weeks later i started getting pain in my arm radiating up into my shoulder n neck causing my hole arm to go numb comes and goes for 5-7days then goes away along with that rashes, temp, coughing and stomach pains.. been for many different tests all neg.. and still to this day im having bad pain and numbness she tends to think its muscle atrophy in that arm going for more tests... finally found a doctor that is fully convinced its from the vacc and doesnt want me to get the 3rd..
I got my 1st shot 3 days ago. 5'4 and 160 pounds. a little sore at first, then all of a sudden, my arm where I got the shot is just killing me. it's so sore. it's the middle of the night and I can't sleep cause it hurts so I decided to check out some info on it. pretty shocking. I'm not going in for the 2nd or 3rd. seems pretty obvious that it's TOXIC, even if I don't have any "serious" side effects, I'd rather not fill my body with toxins.
I'm 17 and I got my second shot December 31st. I'm about 5'4" and 125 pounds. At first the shot was very painful, still I was fine. But for the past week, my upper left arm, where I got the shot has been very sore. I thought that I just strained a muscle because I have dance rehearsals every day, but it is strange that it hasn't gone away. I was getting worried because the last three days, when I lay down I could feel tightness in my neck and I assumed my allergies/asthma was acting up and took my advair, which didn't help as it usually did. I've been able to sleep, but I do feel a little sluggish. At times I feel the blood rushing through the veins in my neck. I've never had this sort of physical reaction to stressing over my schoolwork which has really piled up recently. I read about some girl who had a similar problem and felt severely disoriented, and another case where a girl with similar symptoms had to be treated with ADHD and anti-anxiety medication.
I'm 15 (103 lbs thin) allergic to grass, pollen, weeds, trees, and cats.
I went in to the doctor to get my physical and I had to get the meningitis shot and my doctor talked to my mom about gardasil and told her that he thought it would be a good idea and she didn't know anything about it so I got it along with the meningitis shot (7/11/07). After I got the gardasil like that next week I started getting like 1-3 headaches a week and then we went back to the doctor and he put me on some medicine but then the headaches started to get worse and I got them every day. Then they went into "attacks" of pain in my head, it felt like a knife was jabbing into my head. I was on a lot of medication for them then. I ended up going to the hospital because my mom didn't know what to do anymore and couldn't handle me going through so much pain. I was in the hospital (9/4/07-9/8/07) and they gave me DHE45 through IV which seemed to work. After I got out I went and followed up with my doctor on 9/12/07. We let him know everything that went on at the hospital and it was time to get my 2nd gardasil shot. That night I got it and nothing seemed to be any different. Then the next two days I had EXTREMELY bad headaches at school to where I would be crying. They started to be coming every day again and then in October we went to Hawaii and every thing seemed fine when we were there, I didn't have any headaches. When we got home a couple days later I started getting them again. I had one for over a week so my mom talked to my neuro and he said that I needed to come back to the hospital. I went back and I didn't seem to have a headache when I was in there but they gave me DHE45 again 10/24/07-10/26/07. I got out on a Friday and everything seemed fine but then that Sunday night I was getting my headaches really bad again so my mom took me back to the ER (10/28/07). I was admitted again and they seemed to go away for a while, at least when I was in there. I got out on Halloween and had a headache that night and have still had them. I have been to so many doctors since then and a neuro that just specialized in migraines and she has classified them as ice pick headaches. I have been on a lot of medication and some of it has started to work but I still feel the pain. When I went to the Asthma/Allergy doctor I did a breathing test and they said that I had asthma. I have read that you can get that from gardasil also. Now my doctor also thinks I have acid reflux. But I have also noticed that I have a really bad cough and it’s been since September which I had also gotten my 2nd gardasil that month too. I believe all of my headaches and coughing has come from the gardasil shot. I'm not really sure about the acid reflux though.
The other day my mom was searching on the internet and she found a website to report all of the side effects from it to. She talked to a lady that worked for them and she said it would be a good idea to submit side effects to.
Here is the website:
https://secure.vaers.org/VaersDataEntryintro.htm
Has anyone else had these side effects?
also I am due for my 3rd shot but I will not get it because of my headaches.
Definitely fill out a VAERS form if you had an adverse reaction! I did that a few days ago. If you don't understand all the terms, contact the doctor who administered the vaccine for help filling it out.
My arm is still numb and painful at the vaccination site. I got another doctor's opinion who just said to let it run its course. I'm going to wait and see if it improves, stays the same, or worsens before dumping any more money into health care.
I got the final HPV shot on a Thurs. and since then have felt dizzy, nauseated, extreme back and neck pain, and even my eyes hurt just to move around. I have a strong feeling it's from the shot but i want to know if anyone could tell me how long the side effects last. Also if I'm the only one with these side effects, I haven't had a seizure but I almost fainted today. I just want to know how long I'm going to have these side effects, and if i should see a doctor.
Today (1.14.08) I received the first of the three shots. My doctor told me that because I wasn't in a high-risk group that it was unnecessary for me to receive a vaccination for Meningitis. However, I have Congenital Hypothyroidism, and am wondering about side effects, if any, that could be associated which such a condition and the Gardasil HPV vaccinations.
I am 19 years old, 5'4'', and am on the chubbier side. Upon receiving the first shot, I felt fine. Right now, about 5 hours later, I have a very painful headache that came about an hour after I was injected. I know it could be early to make any assumptions, but after reading the above posts, I am wary and anxious about what could happen. I am also debating on whether or not to continue the series.
My daughter received her 2nd shot on Dec. 27th 2007. She is 5'6 and 111 lbs. Her first shot she just experienced a sore arm. On Jan. 13 she had a seizure while playing soccer. She is active and healthy, not allergic to anything. We went by ambulance to the ER where her CT was normal. All her blood work was normal. We are waiting to get in for an EEG. She will NOT be getting her third shot.
In response to Michelle's post on 1/12/08, the acid reflux could definitely be Gardasil-related. If you look back through previous blogs, you will see others who had acid reflux, nauseau, dizziness, vomiting, etc. My daughter experienced SEVERE acid reflux which did not respond to any medications. I also know of other cases of acid reflux reactions to Gardasil that haven't been posted on this blog. An update on my daughter: her symptoms persisted for 2 months and she lost 25 lbs. Approx 6 wks after her second vaccine, she began to be able to eat without vomiting. She seems to be back to normal, after 2 months of pure living hell.
In Austria a debate about the vaccine has started, after a death case has been reported. According to news reports, a 19 year student, who had recently graduated from a sports high school and was described by her father as "extremely fit", died three weeks after vaccination after develoing nausea and senstivity towards light. The autopsy did not reveal a clear causal relationship to the vaccination, but did not find any other reason for her death and did not exclude the posiibility of a causal relationship. The Austrian league for the fight against cancer has suggested not to undergo vaccination until there is clear evidence about the reason for the death of the girl. The Austrian Ministry of Health on the contrary still sees the vaccine as safe. Several other cases of (sometimes severe) side effects also have been reported since.
WOW! this makes me very nervous. I am 27 years old, 5'7" and 125 lbs. and have gotten 2 doses of gardisil and am supposed to get my thrid in about a month. I have now decided not to. I was very skeptical about this vaccine when it came out, but all the "good news" swayed me into getting them. i wish i had done more research. I haven't had many side effects. None after my first one. My second one hurt really bad going in, and my arm was sore for a good week but that is about it. I almost fainted about 3 weeks after getting my second one, which was a really unusual thing for me, but I was also really hungry and thirsty. So, I don't know. I am so sorry to hear about all these girls having problems now. I will definitly keep you all in my prayers and would suggest to everyone that even though our medicine is improving, the pharm. companies are after the bottom-line, not our health. It is so sad. I think we should all concider going back to a natural, healthy, lifestyle. God Bless.
I didn't realize but yes I think the acid relux is from the Gardasil. About a week after I went to the doctor for itching, I found myself in the emergency room because of crazy chest pain. I NEVER ever have experienced acid reflux so I freaked out and I went. I didn't put two and two together as it being related to the vaccine. I see now that Gardasil is not playing they are pushing for this vaccine hard. I've seen SEVERAL commercials for it on tv. I just graduated college and a student group for women sent out emails to girls about the shot and I set them this website. The shot is just not safe and hasn't been tested enough so I don't recommend that anybody get it.
In response to Dylan Marie's post, fainting is a serious and dangerous side affect. I have fainted 24 times since the shot which has resulted in numerous ER visits, black eyes, concussions and a broken wrist, and eventually lead to the implantation of my pacemaker. I had never fainted before I got the shot and doctors do believe the Gardasil Vaccine is to blame. So fainting is not "semi-sucky" it has completely altered my life.
WELL, Five days after my daughter first ever seizure, which a posted about a few days ago, she had her second seizure at school, after another trip to the ER where all the test come up showing nothing, we went home. We were gone from the hospital 2 hours and she had another seizure. back to the ER they admitted her and pushed her visit to the neurologist up. Why else would my healthy daughter be having seizures two weeks after her shot. None of these Doctors have heard of this happening. Untill I get another answer this is what I am going with. Seizures are happening to too many healthy girls for this not to be ruled out.
My daughter is Michelle who received her 1st Gardasil vaccine on 7/11/07 and her second one on 9/12/07. She has been sick ever since then. In and out of the hospital and emergency rooms, dozens of doctor appointments, dozens of trips for blood work. We even had blood work done again today. They have checked for anemic, valley fever, thyroid problems, allergies, asthma, sinus infections, chest x-rays, MRI, CT scan of her sinuses, eyes checked, etc. My daughter’s migraines headaches, that have been every day, were so bad that she would scream. She now is having major heart burn and they are checking her for acid reflux. We are now scheduled to have an Upper GI. When is it going to end? There is an organization called “Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System” http://www.vaers.hhs.gov/ It is an organization that works with the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 1-800-822-7967 I spoke with them and they highly recommend that I file a report. I would highly recommend that if you are having problems from Gardasil that you also file a report. It is the only way we can STOP all this trauma. Thanks.
Hi, I am 22, 5'7'', and 135 lbs. I had the first dose in November along with a tetanus shot and flu vaccine and had no reactions except for a sore arm for a few days. However, with the second dose, which I had with no other vaccines, I fainted. I really don't feel I fainted from the pain like many articles are saying. Sure it hurts a little worse than a normal shot, but it wasn't unbearable. After coming around, I vomited a few times and felt sick all day. My arm hurt for a few days like any vaccine and then I was back to normal. The experience did suck but if it does protect me from certain kinds of cancer and has no long term effects, then it was well worth it.
My daughter had the first of her three HPV vaccines in November 2007. Approximately three weeks after, she developed a severe skin infection on her right side. It was a large (about 2 inches in diameter), raised blister that had to be treated with antibiotics. Doctors could not explain how it originated. About a week after finishing her antibiotics, she developed an infection on her bottom, right eyelid. It began to clear up after four-five days, only to re-appear again a week later. Now that her eye has gotten better, she has another infection in her right nostril, which has resulted in significant swelling on the right side of her nose and entire face. All of this has been accompanied by stomach cramps and decreased energy. Doctors cannot seem to attrribute these constant skin infections and illness to anything. As parents, we try to make the best decisions for our children and their health. I believe that exposing my daughter to this vaccine was a huge mistake.
I got my 3rd Gardasil shot yesterday. The first two the nurse shot it in my hip. I don't remember the first one hurting at all, but man the 2nd time it hurt real bad, like someone just punched you real hard. No side affects at all. Now yesterday she gave it to me in my arm. The arm hurts the worst. Once she sticks the needle in you that doesn't really hurt.. just a prick. But when she injects the liquids in you, you can feel it going inside, and it stings!! The nurse said it stung because the vaccination was cold, kept in the fridge so it hurts more! (thanks). Today my arm is sore just like I worked out. Hope thats the only side affect! Everyones post is scaring me! But thats it I'm done with all 3! But I would recommend it in the hip rather then the arm.
my 12 year old daughter had her first dose of the hpv vaccine 1/31/08. She had severe pain at the time of the injection, and within 5 minutes she had blured vision and became dizzy then collapsed in the lobby. She was not aware of what had happened to her, but when she fell down she scraped her face on a partition wall. After some juice and laying down for 5-10 minutes she was able to sit up but still felt weak. After reading all these other similiar stories I am scared that something else may happen a week or more later. She will not be getting the next two doses.
I just had my first shot three days ago. After the shot, I passed out and had a convulsion. The next morning I woke up and my hand was swollen, red, and itchy. The next two days I had random hives on my fingers. I took Benedryl to treat this. On the third day, I started having tingling (pins and needles) in both my hands. The next day the feeling moved up to my forearms. I didn't have any other vaccinations that day. I'm 25, thin, and athletic. I've fainted in the past, but never from shots. What's wrong with me? Def. not getting the next two doses.
I have offered to share this blog with Childrens Hospital in my area. After I explained why I was not allowing my 13 year old to get the shot, I inquired as to why the medical community does not seem to be taking these reports of side effects seriously. Well, the response was that "side effects are rare and minimal". They suggested that I review the CDC website (about the vaccine)and basically told me I was overreacting to only "negative feedback". E-mails went back and forth, and I finally gave up. What is wrong with the medical community that they refuse to take this seriously? I suppose that it has something to do with the pharmaceutical industry and money! I guess they will wait until death occurs and lawsuits (like with other newer drugs) and then, perhaps then, they will listen. Wait longer. Do more research. My heart goes out to all of you who are suffering.

Check out
www.newstarget.com/022404.html for more info on history of Gardasil
and http://www.metrospirit.com and search for "Gardasil" -- this will bring up a recent article by Tom Grant called "One Less" about a death that may be Gardasil-related
I took my 20 year old daughter for her first shot on January 16th 2008. A week later she began to experience dizziness, lightheadedness, and "swimming" in the head-like symptoms. Whenever she turned her head to the right, she felt like she had been in a time warp. It was so severe that she was not able to attend school or drive. We went to the hospital emergency room. After full battery of test including urinalysis, blood work, and CAT scan, nothing was found. A few days later, the same symptoms returned. She will not be receiving the two follow-up vaccines.
Hi ,
On 11-13-07 my daughter 17 had her Meningitis shot and her first HPV shot.
Her second shot on1-16-08. On 2-3-08,she had uncontrolling painful siezure like spasms in her shoulders and both arms.She was admitted after and emergency visit,Cat scans, MRI AND NUMOROUS TESTS TO find nothing after two days.After she seemed to get better on Valume and Adavan,they realeased her.Next moring after she eat breakfast the seisure like spasms began again in her arms.I again drove her to a bigger facility.Again after being admitted, EEG'S + many tests they came up with nothing.Now she is being sent to Indianapolis Seisure specialty center.Were leaving at 3:00 am for the trip up there.Does this ever get any better???Has anyone out had their daughter have teriable uncontrollable muscle spasms that they call seizures but my daughters mind is not effected and does this go away?
My 17 year old daughter had her first HPV shot in Oct 2007. Just got her second shot yesterday. As soon as the nurse finished injecting it she looked at me and said "that hurt" then her face got really pale and she said she needed to lay down. As soon as she layed back she started wheezing like she couldn't get any air, her face was white her lips were purple her arms were flailing aroung! I seriously thought she was dying. No one ever mentioned this could happen. She will not be getting the third shot that's for sure.
I've posted on here last month
I have been having really bad stomach problems and they are running a ton of blood tests right now and we won't know until probably next week
I think this just keeps getting worse for me because they never seem to find out whats wrong. At my moms work there were people who study breast cancer and ovarian cancer and she told them what I've been going through and they told her that I was having a reaction to gardasil and said that we need to report it to merk (the manufacturer). Has anyone talked to an attorney about this yet? I think we might soon. I can't believe how many people have had such bad side effects and they haven't taken it off the market yet.
Hi,
I posted here on February 8th.My daughter has gone through so much in one week.When she first had her reactions exactly one week ago today from the 2nd Gardacil shot 2 1/2 wks ago,which she started out with a rise in temp, severe stomache ache then which turned into which made her look like "Terry Shrivo!!!"Seizure like symptom's.After two visits to different emergency rooms and hospital stays she then was sent to INDIANA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL EPELEPSY CENTER WHERE THEY DID A EEG UNDER VIDEO.The doctors were shocked, had never seen any thing like this.My daughters arms look like they were going to exsplode from the inside out. Constant muscle spasms is the best I can describe it..She now was released and from the help of this web site which i printed everyones descriptions of what was happening to their daughters,and gave it to the doctor at the Center.
They definetely came to the conclusion that my Jody has had the same reaction to GARDACIL shots
that some of the others have been describing...
.....They released my daughter back to the neurologist now for follow ups for they could not help my daughter for these seisure like symptoms because it did not show brain effects on a EEG. She has had many many tests now with several ER and hospital doctor referrals and NO ONE has been able to help her or tell me what is the long term effect.Now my daughter has always been atheletic and healthy.
Her muscles which will not stop spasming uncontrollably was monitored even under sleep...With this being documeted through the IU epelepsy Center,
Iam hoping that this will help stop this manufacurer of this vaccine.The Indianapolis Center could not tell me if this will ever stop in my daughters arm .She may or may not always be impaired now.She is 105lbs,5'5".She is a ESPN GIRL for St.Louis sports channel.Has been a Model for Tony Federici Wedding Hair peices, also worked for the new Reality Show TONTINE,as a promotional model which airs this summer.Now she is so depressed for her arm jerks uncontrollably...I hope everyone out there will share there stories.I plan too.Iam furious!!!If anyone out there wants to compair notes, feel free to email me.
My 24 year old daughter received Gardisil last year. For thr first time ever she has had a pap smear come back positive and has indications of HPV. Has anyone else experienced something like this
I'm 32 yrs old and my doctor recommended that I receive these shots. I too should have done the research before receiving the shot but I go to my GYN trusting her rather than having to question her. I am petite, 113 lbs at 4"11. Since receiving the first shot I have had pain in both arms, mild chest pains. Also, I read one story here that relates to what I'm going through. After my first shot, which was just about a month ago, I started getting acne. I never had it this bad before EVER... Not even during my teenage years. My face, neck, shoulders, and back are absolutely horrible. Only now did I realize that it must be from the Gardisil. I have never had body acne ever. Yes on my face one or two but never anything such as this. I feel the same as the other young women who mentioned this problem. Huge welts on my back, face and shoulders. I'm hoping it goes away. I WILL NOT BE RECEIVING THE LAST TWO SHOTS!!! After reading all of these side effects, I'm a little upset that my doctor has not told me what it can do or what to expect. However, screening for the cervical cancer has become something that is quite important but I will stick to the regular pap smears rather than going through all of this... I feel horrible about what this vaccine has done to these poor young girls. I do hope you all recover... Be well and God be with you all...
My 17 year old daughter recieved the 1st gardasil along with meningitis vaccine on 2/22/08 (Friday) all weekend long she had episodes of her heart racing especially with increased activity, her body is not adjusting well to temperature changes and she has bouts of nausea. I took her to the DR. on Monday as she felt so weak. Dr. doesn't know what to think, she is being scheduled for ecg. and will wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. It is Tues. 2/26 and we have not heard back for testing times. Daughter feels drained. Dr. would not tell me how long this could last even if it were a reaction to shots. I will not be continuing with shots for my daughter. When will my daughter return to normal?
Just reporting back in - it's been over 2 months and my arm has still not returned to normal - it is still numb and it still aches. I feel as lethargic and exhausted as the day I got the shot.
This has gone on too long to be a case in which the administering nurse hit a nerve. My doctor hasn't been able to offer any solutions. This is absolute rubbish! Forget the gimmick vaccines. I'm not getting another vaccine unless it's tried, tested, and true [Flu shots and other boosters].
I haven't decided whether I should take legal action or not. It has gotten to the point where it affects how much I can work. I'm 25 and I recently finished grad school so I need to work. Has anyone else taken legal action?
Update on my other post...My 14 year old daughter had her first of three seizures 16 days after her second dose. We are not getting the third. Her EEG and all her other test have come back normal. She has been tired and also has had acid reflux since her second shot also. We went to a Neurologist only to hear that she is normal and that he thinks that the seizures are secondary to something. So now we wait to see a Cardiologist. He did take her off the antiseizure med and it has been one week with nothing. Thank God!He thinks that a sudden drop in her blood pressure could cause these seizures. This is my perfectly healthy kid dont forget.
Hi all, I went to a different gyno to get an answer on what would happen if the shots were discontinued. He said that nothing would happen and with side effects such as what has been mentioned it you definitely stop the shots.
My 12 year old grandaughter had the first shot August 16th and her second on December 5th 2007 . Well She fainted in school a couple of weeks later and has had many of these fainting spells. We were just to the doctor last week and we are going to be seeing a neurologist because her doctoer is concerned about her symptoms, We already had her heart checked out. She has everything going on as some of the other post I have read. Everything goes gray she feels as if she is going to faint, she has also had times when she wants to talk and she can't get the words to come out. She tells me her mouth moves but the words won't come out. I will be contacting her doctor tomorrow about this website. When these problems started to happen this was one of the first questions I had asked her doctor, if she had thought this could have been the cause.I am so glad I found this website. Is anyone going to do anything about it? What can we do? Also I am scared as to how long she will have these symptoms. I will keep checking this website out to see if anyone wants to get together to do something about this. If anyone with the knowlegde to do something about this would post something that would be great.
C.R.
Im 26, 110lbs and 4'11, I just received my 2nd shot on Feb 26th and the first one hurt as it went in and I stood up went to get my coat on and my arm was completly numb. After a few moments I was feeling ok and got in my car and as I lifted my arm on the wheel it was very sore and achey. That night i had severe flu like symptoms and a horrible headache for days and my arm was very tender. This second shot I had the same symptoms and my headache is on my left side around my eye/nose and no pain medicine will help. Im miserable with flu like symptoms and feeling achey and a high fever. I did not pass out or feel dizzy which I normally do from shots so I was very surprised and the only reason I did decide to get the vaccine was because my mom died of cervical cancer and even though it might not run in the famil I just wanted to be safe. I think the side effects are better than getting HPV. Lets just hope there are not long term side effects which are not known yet.
Karen,
I am also 25 and had the first (and only) vaccination shot in February 2007. I had to go to physical therapy for over 2 months, but since not much changed I stopped going. I had several tests done, and not one doctor could conclude if it was indeed a side effect of the shot or if it was how the nurse administered it. I would side likely with the fact that it was probably the vaccination itself. My arm has slightly gotten better, I am able to raise it to normal levels, but it does not work the same as my right arm. It's been a year now and I was told if a nerve was injured it may take up to two years to recover. I thought about legal action but because I could not get any confirmation from doctors about who is truly at fault, there would be no case there. I just wish these commercials and doctors offices would not glorify a vaccination we don't know enough about. Stay strong!
I just had my second shot a little less than a week ago. The shot hurts initially, when it's being injected into your arm. Later, I got a terrible headache and the next day was very nauseated. Now, I am having pain at the injection site and there is a lump there as well. I don't think that I am going to get the third shot after reading these horrid experiences.
I am sorry, I forgot mention that I am 22 years old, 5'4" and 130 lbs.
I am 22 years old, 5'11'' and 135 pounds (thin to average stature). After receiving the vaccine late August 2007, I experienced immediate pain in my arm that lasted 3 days. The pain was so intense, I had trouble sleeping on my arm or using my arm to drive, eat, etc.
My real problem with the vaccine, however, is that I have been breaking out in horrible facial acne since the injection date. I get LARGE, and PAINFUL pimples on my face in clusters. This is odd considering I NEVER experienced any type of acne during puberty, etc. It is humiliating, and I have been able to attribute it to the vaccine because it seems to get worse after each injection. I am scheduled to receive my final injection in 3 days, but am seriously reconsidering it at this point...
i'm 16, i recieved my 2nd hpv yesterday along with hep B. This morning i have thrown up once and dry heaved several times. i have also had spotty weird periods or none at all. i still have nausea and a sick stomach.. this shot was my 2nd of 3 and the 1st, i had no side-effects like this except the spotty periods
I am so glad I researched information about this vaccine before taking my 13YO to the doctor. I have emailed this link to everyone I know so we can get the word out. I suggest you all do the same. Email travels fast, especially these kind. Get your stories out there and warn others. I hope Merck gets sued for so much, that no drug company will ever consider using humans, especially children, as lab rats again. Pull together, Moms, AND FIGHT! And, thank you all for your time! Your stories have saved many young girls from these horrors.
I couldn't agree with you more. My daughter is also 13 and I ended up accidentally researching before she got the vaccine. We had to reschedule and I am so glad I did. I even contacted doctors and was treated with a very negative response. "Oh, side effects only affect a few number of people and they aren't that severe." They will never accept it - trying so hard to find other reasons for these symptoms we have been reading about. Unfortunately, it will take a tragedy that finally gets its day in court - that's how it always is with these new drugs.
Jenna...i had the same problems with the acne and i know of a few people who had the same reaction...it lasted about 3 to 4 months (thats how long the shot supposidly stays in the body) it cleared up very well after that. I know how hard it is to have to wake up in the morning with you're face throbbing with acne that feels like it will never go away. Of course the neuro probles are much more severe, but dealing with pain in any form (even welty acne) is never a good thing. I feel for everyone and keep you all in my prayers. We should really see if we can do something about this
I am horrified after reading all these blogs and am angry at myself for allowong my daugher to receive this immunization at her 11 y.ol physical. My daughter was a healthy competitive gymnast until receiving four immunizations at once. She had immediate dizziness and weakness since 1/22/08. Atrophy, weaknes, hypersnesitivity in both arms for 2-3 weeks after. She still is weak and c/o being "tired" every day. She also yawns frequently with exercise. At first doctors thought it was the flu but I believe differently after reading all of these blogs. TOO many similarity of symptoms. MORE RESEARCH MUST BE DONE BEFORE ISSUING THIS TO ANY MORE GIRLS. I am angry at myself for not knowing more before I agreed to have this administered to her. We will NOT have the next two shots. PCP has tested her for mono twice due to the fatigue. This is a girl who trained in the gym for 16 hours a week and still had energy afterwards. It takes everything she has to get through a practice now. I can only pray that God watches over her and these symptoms disipate soon.
I am 20 years old and was tested positive for HPV in 2006. Last month I went to the gynecologist and after my pap smear I was told that I tested negative for HPV, it had cleared up on it's own just by eating healthy and staying active. This past Saturday, the 1st March, I received my first Gardasil shot along with a Tetanus shot (my doctor decided she'd give me a couple extra shots just in case). I felt fine aside from my arms and muscles hurting. Then on Tuesday I got my period and suffered severe cramps. I never have had cramps like that - I was on the floor at work bent over, I couldn't walk or talk or hardly breathe. My dad took me to the doctor and she told me and basically laughed, telling me it would have nothing to do with the shots she gave to me. Since then, my cramps have gone away, my period lasted only 3 days, and now I am stuck with extreme fatigue, I feel weak and dizzy, and my body feels hot and cold at the same time. I was worried that I had mono, the flu, or was even pregnant! But now that I'm reading all of these blogs, I realize it IS indeed a reaction to Gardasil and I won't get the other two shots. I think something must be done. I'm grateful I didn't have a seizure or faint, but I am still suffering from low energy, fatigue and dizziness. This is keeping me in bed and I can't work or perform with my dance school. I think that something needs to be done - we need to target the corporation! Really, I just want to feel 100% again and have my energy back. Has anyone else had these symptoms last for more than a week???
My 11 year daughter had the HPV vaccine back in Sept or Oct of 07, so far she has not had any reactions. I did not know about any sideaffects before now. Should I let her get the rest of the boosters? Could she still get the reactions? I am so scared for her. What exactly are the side affects? I REALLY NEED to know.
Kathy, My daughter didn't have any reactions on the first shot either. It was 16 days after her second shot that she had her first seizure. I dont think the risk is worth it. Your daughter is 11. The HPV Vac protects against HPV's. Does she really need that right now? I wish I would of knew more before we got this shot. Please read more before you decide.
To those of you who have gotten shots recently, are they warning you of potential serious side-effects now?
When I got my first and second shots back in Oct and Dec respectively, I was told both times that the only side effect was soreness at the injection site. I would hope that the medical community is at least taking reported problems into consideration and explaining them to patients before administering the vaccine.
Hi I realli think something should be done I receieved the first shot in December and since then i cant even sleep on my arm it goes numb all the time ...i cancelled my appointment for the next shot and my doctor got mad she said these syptoms were ridicilous ... i even got advice from my professor who said she would never give her daughters the shot because of the unknown side effects... this could harm the whole population of young girls... im not sure what to do i do want to get cancer or get any of things sypmtoms does anyone have any advice???
Hi I'm 25, (5'4 155 lbs)and I received my first shot of gardisil about a month ago in February. I am also currently on the Depo Provera. Honestly, I haven't felt any side effects, only the cramp in my arm from when I first got the shot. However after reading these posts, I am very skeptical of continuing with the other two doses. Especially after reading about the side effects that took place with all three shots. Then again I had HPV before which cleared up on its own. So I thought I should take the other two shots, to reduce the the risk of getting HPV again. My question is: If I had no side effects with the first shot, should I continue with the next two doses?
Also I heard about the vaccine causing birth defects to fetus while in mothers womb. Is that true? Has anyone experienced this?
I am a 24 year old female.
I’m 5’5” and weigh 130lbs.
I received the Gardasil vaccination along with the Influenza vaccination on 12/14/2007. I received the Influenza vaccination in my left arm first and experienced no reaction. I have received the Influenza vaccination in the past and have not had any reaction. A minute later I received the Gardasil vaccination in my right arm. At which point, my muscles in my right arm contracted to the point of severe pain. Upon the nurse removing the needle I felt nauseous, turned white, broke into a sweat, and went into partial unconsciousness, where I lost partial hearing but never blacked out. The episode lasted maybe 10-15 minutes max, but nonetheless it left a lasting impression, as I have never had an allergic reaction to anything in my medical history. I thought my onsite reaction would be my only reaction, but I was wrong.
Two weeks later (12/28/2007), I woke up in the middle of the night due to an aching sharp pain in my right shoulder. There was no visible sign of inflammation or irritation but without a doubt I was experiencing pain. The next day, the movement when getting dressed of trying to take my shirt off was excruciating and next to impossible to do. This pain came out of nowhere as I did nothing in the past or present to cause trauma or injury to my right shoulder. At the time I was in North Carolina for the weekend to celebrate New Year’s. I’ve always been a very active person, so I decided to go for a jog on the beach to get my mind off my shoulder; however, five minutes into my jog my right knee completely went out on me and I could not put any weight on it. Again, there was no sign of physical injury, neither swelling nor redness. And again, despite being very active throughout my life, never once have I had knee problems. My knee pain lasted less than 24 hours and the pain in my shoulder has decreased in intensity but has to date not gone away. I felt at this point something was really wrong. I called my OBGYN (I received the vaccination at her office) and schedule an appointment to see her first thing upon returning to NYC. By the time I saw her on 1/2/08 (5 days since the onset of my symptoms), the pain had spread. I now was experiencing stabbing/shooting pains radiating down both of my arms and into my fingers. My OBGYN referred me to a Rheumatologist. I was scheduled to see the Rheumatologist on 1/07/08. However, on 01/04/08 at the suggestion of my OBGYN, I went to the ER because my pain was spreading and increasing in intensity. I was aware of Guillian Barre being a side effect of the Gardasil vaccination. The emergency room visit was mainly to rule Guillian Barre out. The head of the ER saw me, my blood work was normal and my physical examination showed some weakness in my right shoulder but everything else checked out fine. The doctor did not seem to think I had Guillian Barre, which was positive but he also couldn’t explain what was happening. He gave me his cell phone number just in case I experienced any sign of paralysis over the weekend, which I did not, thankfully.
That Monday (1/07/08) I met with the Rheumatologist. After going through my medical history and physical exam, she was puzzled and attributed my symptoms to a possible virus or an autoimmune reaction to the vaccination(s) I received. When I saw the Rheumatologist my symptoms were as follows: tingling in my hands, shooting pains down both my arms, aching shoulders and shoulder blades, aching upper back and neck. I was not sensitive to touch (that would come later). The Rheumatologist ordered x-rays of both my shoulders. The results of the x-rays were fine. The Rheumatologist then referred me to a Neurologist.
I met with the Neurologist on 1/11/08. I explained my symptoms and he seemed to think I had Bilateral Brachial Plexus Neuritis, also known as Parsonage Turner Syndrome and attributed the cause to the Gardasil Vaccination. He ordered an MRI on my cervical spine to rule out Radiculopathy. The results of my MRI came back fine. The Neurologist continued to monitor me through phone conferences and a visit to the office every 10 days. If you research Parsonage Turner Syndrome, it will no way explain why my knee went out on me in the beginning or why I was experiencing tingling/prickling sensations in my legs and feet. I asked the doctor about this and he seemed to think the knee incident was unrelated to what was going on and could not explain why I was having the other sensations but said that it was good b/c usually when that happens it is not your central nervous system but your peripheral nervous system.
By the end of January, I was experiencing shooting pains in my lower half and my right knee went out on me again (simply while walking). But the constant chronic pain was still much greater in my upper half and since I was showing signs of weakness in my arms, the Neurologist ordered an EMG exam to test my motor nerves. I had the EMG on 02/06/08 and it turned out fine, which meant this is not motory but sensory related. At this point the Neurologist seemed to think what was going on was viral or autoimmune. Lyme disease and Arthritis had been ruled out through my blood work. The Neurologist sent me to see a physical therapist to build strength back in my arms/shoulders as well as do some nerve stretches. Stretching the nerve helps in the healing process. He also put me on one 300mg dose of Neurotin at bedtime to help with the pain and my sleep.
My first physical therapy session was on 02/07/08. For some people physical therapy isn’t so bad, but for me it was awful. I would feel good about myself afterwards b/c I felt like I was actually doing something that would eventually make me better, so psychologically I was on cloud nine but physically I would feel awful for at least 48 hrs after the therapy. All my symptoms would intensify. The sharp shooting pains all over my body, the pain specifically in my upper back (shoulder blades) and neck, the prickles and tingling sensations that I had come to experience not just in my hands and feet but sporadically all over my body. I couldn’t roll over onto either one of my arms while sleeping because they were so sore. And after a few days the pain would subside to something I could tolerate, but never in the past 10 weeks have I ever not been in some sort of discomfort/pain.
During the 4th week of February, I had what the doctor called a “flare up.” The pain I could tolerate before was no longer tolerable. All of my symptoms came back with a vengeance with the added symptom of the tender points on my body being very sensitive. I saw the Neurologist again 2/26/08. I hadn’t slept in days, I was in an immense amount of pain and I was incredibly frustrated. He increased my dosage of Neurotin to 2-3 300mg doses per day and scheduled me an appointment to see the Rheumatologist again. My appointment is on 03/17/08.
My symptoms to date (03/10/08) are as follows:
1. Muscle pain
2. Pain in multiple joints
3. Tender armpit lymph nodes
4. Fatigue
5. Postexertional malaise (relapse of symptoms after physical exercise)
6. Headaches (this is not severe for me but I was never prone to headaches in my medical history)
7. Muscle spasms
8. Tingling and prickling sensations
9. Fingers and toes have turned white and numb especially after being exposed to the cold
10. Jaw pain
11. Anxiety
I would strongly advice against receiving the gardasil vaccine. I did not have any history of medical problems until I received the gardsail vaccine.
I had my first dose at my college yesterday. Besides, the need for scratching the area I am perfectly fine...
by the way I am 28, 130 lbs and 5'3"" and no medical history of illnesses and have no allergies whatsoever to anything, maybe that's the reason...
i am 13, 5'1", 85 lbs. i am extremely active, no allergies, but whenever i get blood drawn or have shots i get faint & stuff. i also have bloodsugar issues (diabetes runs in my family, but i don't know if that means anything here). some of my friends have gotten this shot & have only had mild side effects, but they are all medium to large build and not as active as i am. they also don't have any medical issues. i will NOT be getting this shot, even though my mom and aunt, who is a nurse, would like me to. i will just walk out of that doctor's office if they make me. i don't want to give up my way of life for a vaccine that is not fully known. i don't plan on having sex b4 marriage and i am going to wait until i'm a little older and the vaccine has been looked at further to get it. this is really scary and i am wondering why they are covering up these effects. i figure i haven't gotten it yet, i won't have sex, and i'll wait a little longer to get this. i think it's better to stick with stuff we know rather than rush into something so new...
My sister (26) and I (22) both have experienced side effects after our 3rd shot...
Has anyone taken any type of legal action?? I am so angry that Doctors did not tell us all of the "extra" information
(http://www.naturalnews.com/Report_HPV_Vaccine_1.html )
about this and also that I did not research this enough.
My daughter too...like many had syncope/ became rigid with seizure like episode shortly after.....what in the world???? It is soooooooo sad that we put our trust in these companies....I hope someone will contact me in reference to long term effects. I feel horrible that I subjected my daughter to this...nightmare...
Hi. Im 18 years old. I got my first Gardisil shot in Jan. I didn't seemed to notice anything huge, my arm was sore afterward but that was about it till i started getting horrible headaches, to the point where i was almost sick cuz i was in so much pain and i was also really run down. Also,i have yet to have my period since the shot,normally my cycle is 21-27 days so i wouldve had at least one. Sometimes i think im about to start, like ill feel bloated and then nothing happens. Has anyone else had problems with late periods?
Hey. I am 23 years old, 5'6" and 111 pounds. I received my 1st HPV shot on March 20th on my left arm. I felt fine except for the burning in the arm for about 5 minutes after the shot. I was even able to drive for 2 hours after the shot. The only side affects I got from the shot were minor cramps that appeared in my left leg that would come and go for about an hour after the shot, and a sore throat and cough, and body aches that started the morning after the shot and are finally starting to fade away. I never felt dizzy or fainted, just a constant cough and somewhat minor flu-like symptoms. After reading all of these articles I'm kinda worried about getting my next 2 shots. I'm thinking that most of the side affects are going to be more serious in pre-teens and teenagers. I'm starting to wonder if the shots are even worth it. Has anyone else had these symptoms? Please let me know and whether or not you continued with the shots.
My 11 year old daughter got the 1st shot along with the varicella one in July. There were no immediate side effects. However approximately two weeks later she got a rash on her face, neck
and chest. Her face swelled so bad that her eyes were shut. I took
her to the doctor and asked if it was poison ivy or something
similar. She said No. My daughter also had protein in her urine. She started having migraine headaches and complaining of fatigue and a stomach ache.She got the 2nd dose in September and the last dose in January.
On February 29th she had a seizure.
I took her to the ER. They
did an EKG and sent her home with a seizure booklet.
The pediatrician advised an EEG. Those results were normal.
I told the pediatrician that her migraines are still happening so she
referred us to a neurologist. That appointment is in late April.
I blame the Gardasil for causing her problems. She has missed close
to 30 days of school so far.
This is a child that was normal and healthy before getting the
vaccine.
I wont make the same mistake with my younger daughter!!!!
I have started a group on Yahoo for people who want to tell their stories about the side effects of Gardasil.
Please join and tell your story.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LetsTalkaboutGardasil/
This is a follow-up to my first posting on Feb. 26th (by Karen).
My 17 year old seems to be okay now. It took her nearly 3 weeks to get back into the swing of things. She did have to see a cardiologist, after EKG. They discovered a very mild Mitral Valve Prolapse. They said the Gardisil could not have caused this. However, she never had any problems before. One of the doctors we saw tended to think her reaction could have been more due to the menengitis vaccine, or the combination of the 2?? I have not researched reactions to the menengitis vaccine yet. One thing I know for sure is other vaccines should NOT be administered along with the Gardisil. It only makes sense. My doctor would like to go ahead with the next 2 shots. Sure, she did not have to go through what we did (physically, mentally, financially) No more shots for my daughter.
My grandaughter just got back from receiving this HPV vaccine and she went into a seizure about 10 minutes after the shot. The nurses and doctor just thought she fainted but my daughter said her eyes rolled back and she began to convulse. I just hope and pray these symptoms do not continue.
I can not believe the doctors are allowing this to continue. It has to be the drug companies and the money involved but it is a terrible thing to put young girls through. I have just started researching this this morning and I have seen enough to know they shouldn't continue this vaccine. I will be contacting my congressman and everyone else I can to get the word out.
To all the posters on this blog. I am a freelance journalist and I have written a series of articles about Gardasil or what is being called gard a hell. I would like to write a follow up article with pictures of the girls that have had adverse effects and what their status is today. This needs to be said and people need to see the pictures of the girls who lives have been ruined by this travesty of a vaccine.
Thank you.
my daughter is now 17 after her last booster shot of the hpv vacc she has had headaches everyday and has gained 30 pounds before that she was small could eat anything not gain and was very active it will be a year this summer since her last booster she has had blood work mri's nothing shows up i have asked the dr numerous times if could be caused from vaccine doesnt THINK so, i do, is there anything to do to counter act this or is my girl doomed
I have been been posting updates on my 14 yr old daughter Amanda. She had three seizures within 5 days her last two 5 hours apart 16 days after getting her 2nd shot. She was put on anti-seizure med for 1 month after this, and since her EEG showed nothing the neurologist took her off the med. That was one month and 2 days before her 4th seizure, which she just had this past Saturday afternoon while she was taking a nap. Same routine, took her to the ER where they did bloodwork, found nothing and sent us home. We went back to our Doc on Tuesday and now have a cardiologist appointment in two weeks. Our Doc is also going to have a MRI done. I am just praying that they can figure this out. It is so scary that my healthy daughter is now going through this. I do know that it take 14 days for a vaccine to enter your system. My Doc does not want her to get the third shot. I would not allow it anyway. So far the doctors that we have seen do not even want to talk about Gardisal. I wonder why that is??? I will be sure to keep updating.
I am so upset reading all of your stories. I will not be receiving this vaccine. The risk is too great. I hope that you are all reporting your reactions to VAERS. There is also something called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund, that was set up to compensate for vaccine reactions. I do not know if gardisil has side effects that are documented on its web site, but it might be worth it to find out. Merck knew that it was injecting children with too much mercury, but they said nothing. According to an L.A. Times Article written by Myron Levine, on February 8 of 2005, is was stated that "A memo from Merck and Co. shows that, nearly a decade before the first public disclosure, senior executives were concerned that infants were getting an elevated dose of mercury in vaccinations containing a widely used sterilizing agent. The March 1991 meno, obtained by The Times, said that 6-month-old children who received their shots on schedule would get a mercury dose up to 87 times higher than guidelines for the maximun daily consumption of mercury from fish. "When viewed in this way, the mercury load appears rather large," said the memo from Dr. Maurice R. Hilleman, an internationally renowned vaccinologist. It was written to the president of Merck's vaccine division." Has anyone heard of Vioxx? or Autism? Look at the side effects of autism at
www.autismspeaks.org. Make your voices heard. This is so important. April 2, is autism awareness day. Will there be a Gardisil awareness day???? or will we keep hearing the advertisements of "One Less"? Wake up people. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Make your voices heard. Don't be afraid.
I thank you so very much for the information on Gardisil. My daughter died mysteriously in her sleep on August 31, 2007. She went to bed as normal, brushed her teeth as usual and went to bed at 10 p.m. and never woke up. She received the last shot in the series of three at the beginning of August sometime. The office of Medical Investigators just cannot figure her death out and I honestly believe that this Gardisil vaccine had something to do with her death. Please help! I lost the most precious person in my life and have no answers. Thank-you.

i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS ANYTHING POSITIVE TO SAY AFTER THESE SIDE EFFECTS? MY DAUGHTER HAD THE 1ST AND ONLY IMMUNIZAION IN JANUARY ALONG W/ MENACTRA. SHE HAS A NEW SYMPTOMS EVERYDAY. MAINLY SHE COMPLAINS OF CHRONIC FATIUGE, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, STOMACH CRAMP AND NOW SHOULDER AND KNEE PAIN. HAS ANYONE GOTTEN BETTER WITH TIME???
Anne, I cant think of anything positive to say after these side effects because it has been 3 months since her second shot and she is still having them. Your daughter is having the same complaints that my daughter is still having along with seizures. She has played soccer for 10 years and now has more pains than she has ever had. Sorry I could not tell you anything good, but I hope you are not planning on her getting her other shots. Until they give me an answer on what is going on with my daughter, I firmly believe Gardisal is to blame. So far, they are telling me there is nothing wrong with her. My daughter also has an acid reflux problem now. Good luck to you.
I got my first shot in November 27 since then I've been fine. The symptoms I had which primarily was itching that drove me crazy has gone away. I did not get the other 2 shots and I advise people to do their research before they get this vaccine.
In response to Anne's post of 4/3/08: Yes, there is hope. My daughter had 2 shots,was VERY sick, nonfunctional, for 9 weeks, and lost 25 lbs due to extreme nauseau, acid reflux, vomiting, diarrhea. She also experienced leg pain, severe abdominal pain, muscle tenderness throughout her body, severe fatigue, etc. No medical tests showed any abnormalities, and none of the medications worked. Then one day, she started to get better, and within a week she was practically back to normal. She has resumed all of her normal activities now, is medicine-free, and we just hope she doesn't have any future, long-term effects. I know of a couple of other girls who had very similar experiences who have also recovered. My daughter began to improve 6 weeks after her 2nd shot. I hope your daughter gets well, too!

I am 18 years old. I have had 2 HPV shots. It's true the chemicals in the vaccine burn really bad. When I went to get my 1st shot, the only thing that happened was the burning in my right arm after being injected. I went just about 2-3 weeks ago to get my 2nd shot. My doctor advised me to wait, as I was taking medication for an ear infection. I waited for a week, then took my 2nd shot. I haven't had anything serious happen, today though my right arm, exactly where I got the injection started hurting. It's a bit tender in that area. Other than that not much has given me complications. I hope this has been helpful. Thank you.
On March 20, 2008, I took my perfectly healthy grandaughter for a check-up...she received a Gardasil shot, which the doctor said "had no side effects"...6 days later we were eating dinner and she fell from her chair, having a horrible seizure...After an ER visit, family dr visit, Cat scan, MRI/MRA, EEG, Lab tests, Neurologist visit (and allergic reaction to anti-seizure drug),all experienced over the last 2 weeks...everything came back as normal, except the EEG which showed that she did have an episode...I am convinced that it was the Gardasil vaccine...Merck says its perfectly safe, of course...but from what I read here and seeing the hell that this 17 year old is going through...very tired, short term memory loss and fuzziness, trying to catch up with missed school work...The drug company is not forthcoming with all the information about the vaccine and the government is letting them get by with it...Money talks...
Thank you for sharing your stories. I have been writing about
Gardasil for over a year and it amazes me to this day that the side
effects are going so grossly underreported. That is another story.
I wrote an article called Gardasil - Poison or cure. What I did was search for the symptoms and not the vaccine. I was saddened by what I found. What is happening is that people who have a reaction are having the symptoms of neuortoxcity or poisoning. I would suggest that everyone read the article to make an educated decision.
One of the things that is happening is that some people affected are going to doctors that have the skill to detox the body. From everything that I have found that seems to be the only recourse.
I spoke with the gal that does the detoxing at my chiro's office and she was telling me, in brief, what happens. She also told me that if you try to detox on your own you can cause more serious problems. So please, check with a professional that is knowledgable
in this practice.

I am not sure what was the message in the last post (lavern). I will say, however, that I am thankful that I came upon this site before agreeing to allow my 13 year old daughter to get the vaccine. My heart goes out to all the young women and families who are having problems. I can only imagine that in 5 years; when my daughter is 18; there will finally be some admission by the pharmaceutical company and physician community regarding these crippling side effects. God bless to all.
I still think it would really be more helpful to people if you could communicate in layman's terms.
I was wondering if anyone has talked to a lawyer about filing a lawsuit against Merck.
I understand what Lavern is talking about because I have seen the data and the documents. To explain what is going on with vaccination would take a long time. I am going to collaborate with an associate of mine and expose the vaccine hoax for what it really is. Human experimentation to eliminate, eventually, any family that has any type of abnormality and decrease population growth. The documents are out there. You just have to look.
All - I have wanted this to be an open forum and have done no moderating. For nearly a year this has been an amazing discussion of problems and concerns raised by the hpv vaccine.
The recent dialogue suggests that perhaps I ought to impose some ground rules. I am going to ask for no screaming (no all-capital letter) submissions, no advertising, and whole sentences (or nearly so). If necessary, which I hope it won't be, I will exercise editorial privilege.
Thanks again to everyone for making this a place where information can be shared and statistics gathered. Let's continue to work towards solving the problem -- for ourselves, with the drug companies and the FDA, and for girls and women around the world.

Hi , I agree that this website should be about helping one another not picking on each other. We should all be here to tell our experinces and get advice from others. This vaccine is affecting many and we should try to help one another. I jsut want to thank everyone for helping me decide not to get the 2nd and 3rd shot without you guys I would probably be in the same postion of other poor victims. I hope all of you get well !!!
I went to a viewing of a video put together by Generation Rescue. The video was called Autism Yesterday. It was excellent. One of the things they talk about is biomedical treatment. The families in the video have used and are still using this treatment to detox their autistic children from heavy metals. You would never believe that the children featured in the video were diagnosed autistic.
What I am suggesting is that what is happening here with the HPV vaccine is similar in nature because of the neurotoxins that are in the vaccine.
I would suggest that anyone interested in this type of detox please go to the web site and check it out. This could be the cure.
You are all in my prayers.

I got a phone call today from a woman at the NVIC. She called to ask about my daughter Mikaela's symptoms that I reported on the website. I told her everything that has happened. I explained that she is still having problems,all tests were coming back negative and we cant get a diagnosis.
She asked about Mikaela's Hypothyroidism. She said thats an autoimmune disease and its odd that it didnt start until she got the shots. She said that vaccines will sometimes trigger certain problems that wouldnt normally be there. She wanted to know if the doctor thought her problems were related to Gardasil. I said no they dont want to admit it. Ive begged them to report it but they wont. Then she asked if I thought it was. I said ABSOLUTELY!!!! If you have a normal, healthy and happy child in July, give her a shot then her health starts deteriorating and is still going downhill then thats the only thing it can be.
She said she thought it was related to it too!
I told her about all the stress that we have been under and frustration about all the tests shes had to go thru.
I told her that I had found others that were affected. She has received a lot of complaints about it.
She is going to be in contact with me again to check on Mikaela's progress.
I strongly urge everyone to report the side effects to the NVIC.

If this cancer is caused by a virus that the girls are getting from boys, why aren't the boys getting the shots also? That would put a double whammy on the virus by slowing the spread among the boys as well as knocking it out in the girls. PS. My daughter is 12 and we're NOT giving her the vaccine.
My daughter received her 1st shot of Grdasil along with Menactra and her flu shot on October 16th, 2007 three days before her 14th birthday. With in minutes she was on the floor of the exam room with a seizure. After she came to, she had another seizure. We stayed at the Dr's office for 2 hours until she felt strong enough to leave. Since that time she has expeienced joint pain in her knees and now hips. We have been to several dr's that have offered no explaination for the knee pain and have verified that it is not due to a physical injury. She has lived with this pain for the last 6 months with no sign of relief. She is an athlete who plays competative soccer, but has not been able to play as much because of the pain and limitations she is suffering from. In her own words, "I just want to be normal again" It hurts me everyday to know that my uninformed decision resulted in her chronic pain and suffering. Please don't let your daughter be "One More" to suffer from possible negative side effects of the HPV vaccine and menongitus vaccines given together.
Read everything that you can and then make your decision to vaccinate or not to vaccinate.
Those of us who have suffered need to get our message to the CDC that there ARE negative side effects!
After seeing seeing the reports[,] are the CDC taken over by a terrorist group[,] dead or what[?] [S]ide effects [that are] life threatening are never ok by the CDC[. S]ee small pox vaccination[;] they will not give it to people with medical conditions because of the side effects[. A]nd[,] no one is on a commercial stating gardasil was fast tracked[,] meaning it did not go through the medical trials so[] they cannot pro[ve] if it is immunizing or infecting with future debilitating side effects[.]

I posted a few weeks ago. My daughter, age 11 and an athlete received her shot in January. Since beginning Neurontin she has improved. Still some complaints of the stomach pain and "traveling muscle aches" but not as many or as often. Still c/o fatigue and difficulty breathing with exertion while doing her conditioning at her gym. She's a gymnast. We've gone a few steps forward but i worry when we discontinue the med. I don't want her to have to take something like this at age 11. I'm also frustrated that she'd developed some type of allergy and now requires an inhaler at the gym. I know that these type of symptmoms could have developed at any time but it's all so coincidental. She's had chronic congestion since February. I didn't think you could have spring allergies in February??? I will write again, hopefully with a positive report. I am spiritual and all I have now is the hope that God will bring her through this. These are all innocent people who trusted their physicians and the industry who will now suffer with some of these symptoms for who knows how long.
The Federal Vaccine Act of 1986 is, or are they not regulating the makers and those vaccined . The FIFRA act for pesticides uses FDA EPA ect to mandate the makers and the people applying pesticides .
Im interested in talking to anyone who shares the same symptons as me.
My name is jessie im 27, I live in rhode island,and I received all three vaccines. The second shot left me with a pea size lump in my left arm. Doctors weren't concerned with it so I went and got the third one which was in the opposite arm. Within two weeks the injection site had swollen up to the size of a large golf ball. I had tingle and weakness to my right hand. I was tested for lime disease which was negative, but i did have a high white blood cell count. My doctor put me on antibiotics and the next morning i woke up and couldn't move my arm whatsoever.I had alot of pain from the shot and went directly to the emergency room which told me to go see a neuro surgon to get more pills to cover the pain. It was numb from my elbow to my fingertips,and sharp pains from my shoulder/neck and shoulder blades. I have had 8 MRI's which still shows infection at the injection site and swelling in the lymph nodes under my right arm. I was sent to a neurologist and she claims that its brachial plexus paulsi, and started me in psysical therapy. They have me on neurotin, percocet, mortin 800, and pregnazone. None of these have helped the problem, only covered the pain for a short while. Now im waiting to get my EMG and now im accepted to the RI hospital neurology clinic. Hopefully they'll find something to cure it. This vaccine had cost me the use of my arm, and my job. I cant believe their trying to give it to nine year old girls. Im going to pursue a lawyer and i really hope that other girls come foward with reactions, disabilities,etc.and present this to a lawyer so we can stop them from giving them this vaccine and at the least let them know of the severe reactions that have taken place with hundreds of girls already.
I received the first shot on Feb. 22nd along with a tetanus shot. I didn't notice any side effects.
I Just Received the 2nd shot on Friday, April 25th. I was just getting over the flu when i got the shot and I had the worst headache i've ever had ever since.(never had migranes before) I also developed a 102 degree fever all weekend. I feel incredibly fatigued, have completely NO appetite, i feel dehydrated. The worst of all that i have noticed is i dont have complete controll of my bladder anymore! I'm pretty healthy (a little bit of extra weight), 21 yr old, never had bladder issues before. But now it's like there's no turn off valve. i wake up in the morning and my pants are wet. After sitting for a long period i get up and my pants are wet. if i laugh barely hard enough, my pants get wet! its HORRIBLY embarrasing. I mean.. what is a 21 yr old supposed to do?? wear depends?!? I have made an appointment to talk with my doctor about it.
i'm way too young to be incontinent! has anybody else has this kind of a reaction?
My best friend just called me to tell me she has been puking and had diarrhea for the last week. She informed me she received the vaccine on the 23rd of April and came down with the "flu" three days later. She also got her period a week and a half early and is bleeding more heavily than normal. She hasn't been able to sleep, and has major stomach discomfort, especially when she lies on her side. I informed her of the side effects that I read about here and now she is convinced that it is not just the flu, but an adverse reaction to an unsafe, and untested vaccination. Her dr. recommended the shot and did not inform her of the side effects. She will not get the other two shots and we are hoping the symptoms go away soon. Any advice on how to ease her discomfort safely?? She hasn't been able to keep anything down, so it has been hard to treat her vomiting and diarrhea. How crazy!!
Fainting accompanied by seizure shortly after an injection sounds less like adverse reaction to the vaccine and more like
vasovagal response, something that is very common yet medical practitioner's are absolutely terrible about informing their patient's about or taking steps to compensate for. It's the same reaction that leads people to faint when donating blood.
To say that these girls are simply scared of needles undermines the issue and adds insult to injury by saying it's a problem with the girls themselves, not the vaccine or how it is administered. I am not scared of needles at all, nor have I ever fainted and/or had a seizure while donating blood, while receiving other vaccines, or during blood tests. Let me tell you, the feeling I had after getting the Gardasil vaccine was immediate and nothing to do with needles. It's true that it may be the cause of some cases, but surely not all.
To everyone interested. There is a rally in Washington, DC on June 4th put together by several autism groups. The theme is "Green our Vaccines". I have been in contact with the people putting this together and they would love to have everyone that is affected come to this event. Here is the link to my article about Gardasil and at the end is the information about the rally.
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are supporting this rally.

Please check it out. I am going to do everything in my power to attend and I live in Illinois.
Hope to see you there.
An update on my daughter...She had a second EEG after 4 seizures..and it came back normal again. Our peds doctors truly thinks that it was the vaccine. He thinks that she should stay on the anti-seizure med for 2 more months. He thinks that the vaccine should be flushed out of her system 6 months after receiving the shot. So I guess there is hope.
Iam 23 yrs old and received the vaccine on April 9. It was a little sore for a couple of days but nothing major. Today, around the injection site, it was feeling a little sore. I pressed on it a little bit when I got home and there is a bump under my skin. Now im worried about what this could be, especially since I have read all of these awful stories. I am also debating getting my 2nd and 3rd shots, after all I am married... Has anyone else had this problem?
My daughter is 12,i read over some of the stories of gardsil and i dont think i going to have her get the shots.My older daughter might be having some problems,she is 19.My 12 year old in 6th grade and i have to talk to her about the shots and side affects they have,The hpv shot hasnt been out that long, has it?
My 14 year old daughter had her second Gardasil shot (along with a few other vaccines) and 7 weeks later she was in the hospital with severe headache,dizziness, joint and muscle pain/weakness, fainting, and seizures. She had MRI, spinal tap, lab work and all were normal. She missed 3 weeks of school and has had several seizures.
I am 18 years old and 5'8" and weigh 140 lb. I have no allergies, and I have satisfied most of other vaccination requirements, such as Hept B etc.
I received my first dosage of HPV vaccination, and like others felt sore in the injected area for about four days. I have been sleeping for about three days on and off ever since I have had the injection and have constant dizziness.
Although it is possible I have become sick due to other reasons, I am very suspicious of becoming sick only one day after my shot.
I believe doctors should warn their patients of the side effects.
My 9 year old daughter received vaccine's 1 & 2 during her yearly check-up since we have 2 people with cervical cancer in our family. She was absolutely fine and had no reactions. After that when it came time for her to get the 3rd shot I had heard of some side effects and was kind of nervous for her to receive the 3rd shot. I basically put off her doctors appointment for several months. Finally she went back for her next years check up ( being 10 now) and her doctor encouraged us to finish up the series. She did get the 3rd shot and did fine. She did comment that the shot hurt and she did get slightly pale but that was it. She is some larget than the average 10 year old...taller and weighed about 109 at the time of the 3rd injection. It has been 7 months since she completed the vaccine series and I just wanted to post to let people know that she is fine...the vaccine does hurt but she had no out of the ordinary side effects so far. I feel so badly for those who have had very severe reactions...I think there is some risk with any vaccine and it is horrible that this particular one aimed at young girls was rushed along. I didnt know much about it when the pediatrician recommended it..all I knew was that if it would protect my daughter from any future chances of getting cervical cancer that was a good thing. I now realize I really need to thoroughly research any vaccine before I agree to her getting it.

I just turned 20 this month, I'm about 130 and 5' 4", in great health. When I received my vaccine it was alone, just purely the one shot. Same goes for my younger sister, who is the same height and weight yet 15 years old. Our first shots were a piece of cake.. no pain no anything. Our seconds were smooth as well, with some soreness starting about 10 min. later. We both have just received our third shots. Neither of us are having seizures or fainting... however we both are experiencing extreme dizziness.. unable to stand for more than just a few seconds. I'm curious because no one else has said anything like this.. but we both have been vommiting and had horrible diharrea (many times at the same time) She got her final shot a few days before me and is just today no longer puking. She ate some watermelon but we haven't been able to keep anything down. I had my shot yesterday at 11:30 and felt fine all day.. went to bed around 11 and was up at 4am feeling miserable (nausea), at about 6am my diarehha began.. and i have been running to the bathroom every few minutes. I puked around 12 for the first time, but was on the verge of it all day. I managed to stand up long enough to walk from upstairs to downstairs and that took so much out of me that I began vomitting. The only way I feel okay is if I'm laying flat on my back and sleeping. I'm feeling horrible and if I'm like my sister I will have this for a while longer. Wish me luck and I hope no one else feels this way and that nothing more severe comes from our symptoms.
HI, I'm 15 and i got the shot a couple days ago, i had no complications one so ever. Not everyone has the same reaction towards it and the only reason i think they would is if it was an allergic reaction, which is not the vaccines fault (in my opinion) p.s. Even though I'm only 15 please take me seriously because i had the vaccine
I have received 2 of my 3 Gardasil vaccines and have been fine. I am also pretty small, <105 lbs. I have a friend who has had fainting/seizing episodes after a few different shots (none of them the HPV vaccine). The Dr. told her this is just the way some people to react to certain stressors or ingredients in the body.
I am almost 28, and at my latest Physical my family Dr. tried getting to me jump on the gardasil wagon. Dr.'s reccomend these drugs, because they make MONEY. When she mentioned the vaccine to me, I laughed at her! Taken a back by it she asked why I was laughing, I then started asking her about the reports of death perhaps even now steril woman that have taken this already. Not that it is premature!!! IT IS NOT NESSECARY!!! My Dr. had no idea how to asnwer any of the questions that I had asked, studdering doesnt count as a response. It just showed me that even my family physician that I have been going to for 23 years has NO CLUE what half of these new drugs are... I don't care what gets aproval and what doesn't because in reality (WE all know this) if its bringing in money they are gonna let us eat it up. To anyone that has children regardless of HPV running in the family or not, please dont allow your children to get this drug. I have a different angle of looking at these things.. Only woman get the drug, we are the only bearers of children and without knowlegde on the side effects of these drugs we should keep our bodies they temples that they are. A healthy diet and excersize can also limit the amount of things that happen to our bodies. TIME magazine came out today, there is a report on vaccines in it, I was asstonished that now being age 11 or 12 is when the HPV one will be administered, these arent woman yet, they are our girls, daughters sisters, even grandchildren.. We all need to wake up and relize that just because our government, doctor, pharmasist or whom ever says it is something you need we are still individuals and only we should be allowed to choose what is right for us. So to future ladies that are thinking about taking this vaccine, please give your head a shake, it suposidly protects agains 3 or 4 of 100 strains.... The effects that this vaccine has already had on people NO THANK YOU.. I will laugh at any other doctor that feels I should get this... MY BODY MY TEMPLE!!!!
my daughter Stormy is 15 y/o she had the first hpv shot 2/11/08, she also had the meningococcal vaccine at the same time.she didn't have many problems at
first and I didn't put the two together until later .her side effects
started later. dizzy, fainting,headache most of the time,tingling in
arms legs now a constant pain in legs and ribs,she says a popping
feeling in her blood veins where her arms bend,neck pain, tired,her
eyes have pain and will flutter and look up other things to she would
keep getting one thing after another been to five ER's all test was
negative.She is constantly in pain. I'm so frustrated.
when the problems started she would scream in pain her chest was the worst pain ( mommy
mommy, it hurts mommy, mommy it hurts make it stop mommy please make
it stop mommy mommy mommy) tears running down she would be laying with her arms stiff at her sides one ER gave
her a shot for pain,the clinic we go to will give her the toridol
shot when she's hurting more than the pain she has all the time now.
then the fainting it just happens and she falls so hard just drops
seven times in one day ,she doesn't move anything for about two
minutes no matter what, when she comes through she is crying and cant lift her head up,Stormy say's her head fills empty and heavy . on our second to last visit to an ER
before he even started I said I believe it's a side effect from
Gardasil he said no that isn't a side effect and smirked. I cried I
was so frustrated we had a few other words back and forth, I had
Stormy get ready and we left. sometimes every joint in her body hurts even the arch of her feet hurt
and her spine hurts, Stormy has chronic stomach pain . I don't know what to do to relieve the pain. I cant
imagine what she is going through. her ribs hurting constantly is a
tuff one she cant get comfortable on either side and is so
frustrating, when she is trying to go to sleep sometimes she just
cries. the pain between her ribs is an ache pain sometimes its a stabbing pain.The fainting or passing out is at least one time every day we believe the most in one day was eight times but really we lost count. _
When Stormy pass's out now about half of the time her breathing is like a panting,she is passed out but instead of looking like she is dead,she is panting or breathing very fast and short.for two months now she said her throat feels like it's getting smaller and she finds it harder to eat. doctor's do nothing.
I have learned not to use the term "side effect". Adverse Reaction.. then they listen. My daughter has had four seizures since her second shot. As long as she is on an anti-seizure med she does not have them. Why should my healthy daughter have to take this??? Any way, I have posted all the other episodes on here before but our update is that our ped doctor seems to think that the vaccine ingredients will flush out of her system after 6 months of receiving her last dose. He does think it is an "adverse reaction" to Gardisal. I didn't understand but he explained that the anti bodies stay in the system and they solution flushes out. So, I quess next month when she goes off the med we will see. I will definitly keep you posted.
My daughter is 16 years old, 5'6'', 125 lbs. Sher recieved her 1st HPV injectiond today. Within 5 minutes, as we were walking to the check out desk, she turned to me and asked if the shot was supposed to make her feel funny. That was the last hing she said before the dr. and I each grabbed an arm to eacort her to a chair 8 feet away. She never made it to the chair. Her legs went to rubber and she went down. All color drained from her face and I literally watch her turn a grayish color. The dr. called for a pillow and for 911 to be called. We propped her her with a pillow and put her feet in the chair where she laid for 20 minutes or so. EMT's arrived and her vitals were normal. She says she remembers feeling very hot immediately after shot if not while it was still being injected. She will NOT be recieving the other two vaccines, she is evidentally allergic to it or an ingredient in it. It was very scary and has never happened before, I am watching for other side effects.
I have a request from the people that are posting on this blog.
I have been contacted by a newsperson in Texas who wants to do a story on Gardasil side effects. Is there anyone from Texas on this blog that has experienced side effects lasting more than two months? Also, would you be willing to have your story aired in Texas with before and after pictures of you/daughter?
I know that this does not seem like enough to have only local exposure but this could be the first step.
Thank you for your consideration.
23 year old female. Have never fainted in my life or had siezure. Had one seizure and lost conciousness for 5 minutes and was hospitalized since starting Guardasil shots. Don't know if is related to the shot at all, but thought i'd put it out there.
Sherri Smith, how do I contact you? I have a daughter who just turned 18 years old. We are in Texas and she has been having seizures since her last Gardasil shot in october (when she was 17 years old). We have been to three neurologists and she had another seizure yesterday. I think the drug company should pay our doctor bills, but more importantly research to find out how to reverse these side effects. She is taking medicine three times a day trying to control the seizures. I wish someone could tell me how long this is going to last.
Sherri and anyone else interested from Texas or know of someone in Texas that has had an adverse reaction to Gardasil.
Please contact me at c j 1951 @ ameritech . net
When responding please eliminate the spaces in the email.
To everyone on this post. With further contact the reporter that was looking for someone from Texas has put me in touch with another reporter that is willing to do a story about the side-effects of Gardasil and the location of the families involved is not a concern. So if there is anyone that is willing to share their story and be interviewed by this other reporter please contact me at c j 1951 @ ameritech . net
Remove the spaces for the email.
Thank you

Thank you for documenting this important information!
Please, if you have experienced any paralysis from Gardasil please visit this website of a young girl named Jenny who is experiencing rapid increase in paralysis over her entire body after taking Gardasil dose # 3. Her doctors and family are desparate to find "comparables" who have one or more of the same symptoms. Maybe together we can beat this thing!
http://jenjensfamily.blogspot.com/
I am the reporter from Texas (producer, actually) that Cynthia Janak was referring to and I am very interesting in researching other Texas cases of women who have had adverse reactions. If you have had a severe reaction or know of someone who has had one, please contact me directly. I see a posting from Nicole in Texas talking about her daughter and would love to speak with her directly so please pass along my information. Thank you. Meridith Manning mjmanning@ktvt.com
just reporting back. its been 7mths since my 2nd Gardasil shot im still experiencing numbness, weakness and shoulder pain in the arm i recieved the shot in. God bless all the girls out there that have had worse reactions.
My 14 yr. old daugher had her first hpv vaccine shot along with the men. vaccine on April 14th. My daughter has always been athletic and energetic to the point of hyper. Since then she has been tired, weak, experiencing breathing problems and hard core headaches-- and last night had to go to the er for fainting and convulsions with horrible headache. I oh so wish I had read these posts before I had her get the 1st shot. I only pray that she doesn't get worse. The dr at the er said she had a migraine. I hope somehow it flushes out of her system and does not do her lifelong damage. I am hurting so bad about this. God bless all the other girls.
Today I received my daughter's hair toxicity results. They show high levels of aluminum, lead, nickel, silver. I'm waiting for a call back from my pediatrician to see what's next. My daughter has been on Neurontin since March which has helped some. Her major symptoms are fatigue, stomach pain, roaming muscle aches, headaches, breathing issues with exertion. Brianne received the GArdasil with other immunizations. Was it all really necessary? Did you all know that Gardasil was only tested with the Hep B vaccine to study interactions and not with any other immunizations?
Is it really necessary for a 9 yr old to get this vaccine if they are not sexually active or have started their period? It is disturbing to read of these side effects. Seems to me no age is really a good age. Sincerely, Concerned Parent
my daughter was healthy and normal up until age 12. Within a month of having the 2nd gardasil shot she complained of stiff neck and back. Fevers then followed, then seizures. She had no prior history of seizures. She was hospitalized for four months after the first seizure. She was in a medically induced coma due to uncontrolled repeated seizure activity.She was on a ventilator the first two months of hospital stay as she went into respiratory failure as a result of the first seizure. Every test known to man was done with no answers. She was diagnosed with encephalitis and is now living with brain damage most likely caused by the loss of oxygen from the first seizure. No family history of seizures, no explanation. it has been 8 months since this began and my daughter is unable to attend school, she has severe behavioral conditions, memory defecits, gait abnormality and numerous other defecits. She did receive the 3rd gardasil and began seizing more than normally and had fevers. I had no idea that gardasil possibly has such severe side effects. It is marketed as a safe worry free possible life saving vaccine. I will always wonder if this caused my daughter to have seizures. She was a totally normal happy child with a bright future. Now she is dependent on me the rest of her life and can't function on her own.People need to at least be given the opportunity to hear about the negatives associated with gardasil its obviously not as safe as it is marketed to be.
Rae - I am so sorry for what has happened to your daughter. I can't imagine how painful that is for a parent/child to go through what she has been through. How old was your daughter when she received the vacine?
18 yrs old 5'8" 136 lbs. I just got my first shot today and i felt fine going into it. i've never been afraid of needles and i've only passed out once in my life when i was on vicadin after having my wisdom teeth out. while i was being given the shot, i didn't feel any actual pain, just discomfort. a cold icy feeling running down the length of my arm and some pressure. i didn't actually experience any problems until i was walking back to the waiting room to schedule my next two shots. i was talking to the secretary when my vision blurred and everything went black and white and splotchy. i got a headache instantly and my hearing was muffled. i managed to tell her that i felt dizzy and thats all i can remember. apparently i had falled backwards and passed out on the floor. about 3 minutes later, i slowly regained consciousness. first, my hearing came back. it began as muffled and slowly cleared. once i opened my eyes, there were 9 people standing over me. i had wet cloths on my face and someone was taking my pulse. i was pale and sweaty and terrified. i know for a fact that i didnt pass out due to my nerves. i was not nervous at all going into the shot. the nurse told me oncei regained consciousness that my adrenalin must have dropped too rapidly after getting the shot, therefore my glucose was down and i had low blood sugar. for that, they gave me a soda and i sipped it in the waiting room on a sofa for about 10 minues until i felt better. my arm is still sore and achy and i refuse to get the last two shots. i recommend girls/women to look further into this vaccine before deciding whether or notto get it. i personally, will form now on be "one less" guinea pig for the government to practice their experiements on.
My 22 year old healthy, athletic dauighter had the first of the 3 shots on 5/2808, 3 1/2 weeks ago and has been in 3 ers and hospitalized for 4 days since, She has fainted,lost vision, experienced terrible headaches and severe lethargy and low blood pressure since the injection. I am finding that most in the medical field are trying to dissuade my idea that it was the Gardisil that has done this. They are treating her for migraines(she never had one before)and we have seen 2 neurologists. The last one this week said she needs a cardiologist to rule out heart problems.
My daughter age 16,weight 125, active athlete, had her first gardisil vaccine along with flu and second hep a in oct 2007, 5 weeks later she experienced her first tonic clonic seizure. She was placed on medication. No obvious brain or elecrical disorder diagnosed, cause is said to be unknown. She went off meds for 1 day in january and experienced another seizure. She will now have to stay on seizure disorder medication for the rest of her life. She still is very active and athletic. She also started to lifeguard this summer. Very proud of her, but wonder if vaccination is a contributing factor !
What can I say and how can I say it but your prayers are urgently needed.
I just got off the phone with Jenny [kkw edit - minor's last name removed]'s father. Jenny has had an adverse reaction to Gardasil.
http://jenjensfamily.blogspot.com/
This is the website about Jenny.
Jenny is in the hospital again. This time it does not look good. The doctors are only giving her a few weeks. I am ready to cry because, in my way, feel the pain that was in his voice. I cannot imagine what he must be going through but my heart hurts just the same.
So please, please pray for this 14 year old girl and if it is God's will maybe He will intercede and bring her back to the family that loves her so very, very much.
Then say a prayer for all the girls and families that are going through this for they need His intercession also.
Thank you. I think I am going to go and have a good cry now because my heart is breaking.
On June 24, 2008 my 15 yr old daughter had her first HPV shot and within 2 min fainted,seizures and voimiting. It has been about 6 hours since the shot and she seems to be doing better. After reading these posts she will not take any further doses.
I will be praying for Jenny and the other girls. I really felt the presence of God when I read about the request for prayer for her so I believe God will heal her!
My 15 grandaughter had a seizure immediately after getting her HPV vaccination but it has been several months and she has not had any more and I am very thankful to God for that.
Please keep praying for Jenny. They had to put a gastric nose tube in her because she is having a hard time swallowing and a catheter. She is still in decline.
I just spoke with Jenny's dad and they are in crisis mode.
I have just had a thought. Is there anyone in California that is up to a prayer vigil outside of the hospital that Jenny is at?
I am so sad to read about Jenny. I'm sending all my best thoughts to her and her parents.
I continue to hope that this site will attract someone with an answer to eliminate such suffering.
I have just had my first HPV shot on Tuesday and its now Friday and I have a swollen left hand and redness around my knuckles and also my legs and feet...has anyone else reacted in this same way??
My almost 13 year old daughter had her second HPV vaccine this morning. It has been a year since she was given the first as I am somewhat leary of this immunization anyway. After being given the shot we went to the next exam room where my son was being given his immunizations. When we stood up to leave Hannah said, "I can't see." A nurse rushed over but was unable to get her to lay down before she passed out. After coming to, sitting for a few minutes on the floor and then in a chair, she was on her feet again. Although she claimed to feel "good" she looked pale and passed out a second time. On the second time I noticed her arm and hand stiffen momentarily. The doctor claimed it was a reaction to "the poke" and not the contents of any vaccine (she also had a varicella, and a hepetitis A vaccine). It has been nearly 6 hours now and she seems fine but I am suspicious that her fainting had more to do with the vaccine than the "poke" as she has never fainted before. The otehr contributing factor was the fact that she had not eaten anything before her dr. appointment.
I received my first dose of Gardasil yesterday, on 6/27 at about 8:15 a.m. I did experience five seconds of pain during the actual shot and some pressure. When I got home from the appointment, I was really tired. I ended up going back to sleep until around noon. My arm is sore, but that is all so far. If anything else happens, I will let you know.
Also, I found this site after I decided to conduct additional research on the vaccine. On the Gardasil Web site there is a "patient product information" document. Here is the link:
http://www.gardasil.com/gardasil-product-information/index.html
Unfortunately, after reading the second page, near the bottom it lists most of what you all have experienced.
Here is an excerpt:
------------------------------------
Fainting can occur after vaccination, most commonly among adolescents and young adults. Although fainting episodes are uncommon, patients should be observed for 15 minutes after they receive HPV vaccine.
Allergic reactions that may include difficulty breathing, wheezing (bronchospasm), hives, and rash have been reported. Some of these reactions have been severe.
Additional side effects reported include swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin), Guillain-Barré syndrome, headache, joint pain, aching muscles, unusual tiredness or weakness, and generally feeling unwell.
------------------------------------
With that said -- My point is: Did any of you receive this list of side affects as a "warning"? I know I did not. I received a page with information on both sides. **I want to point out that this "info sheet" is dated 2006!!!** In two years, Merck should have updated this informational sheets and given them to all of you with the above information I pasted. The side effects listed on this informational sheet are: pain, swelling, itching, and redness at the injection site, fever and difficulty breathing (bronchospasm).
That list of side effects is much shorter than the list from the document on their Web site. After reading all of your stories, I am worried to what may happen to me. I will not receive the second or third dose.
The information on my "handout" that was given to me before I received my first dose was outdated, doesn't list ALL of the side affects as in the document on Gardasil's Web site, and Merck probably counts on the fact that we won't go to the Web site and download it and read it!!
When we go to our doctor and we receive little or incorrect information, that is a huge problem. That alone should be grounds for a lawsuit. Misinformation and persuasion by people we expect to trust.
Who's with me on this? What information did you receive when you decided on your first, second or third dose?
Update: You can't sue Merck -- because they have immunity from suit.
Gardasil has been added to a federal list of vaccines recommended by the government.

Group,
Jenny needs some real intervention now so prayers are needed. Please send this message to anyone you can think of for Jenny. Thank you.
My 13 years old daughter has completed all of her series of shots and is doing well. The shots hurt her and it was a little swollen at the injection site, but no bad reactions followed.
I made this important decision to get her vaccinated due to my step mother who went through Cervical Cancer herself, and a woman I saw on T.V. who was raped and contracted HPV. This scared me enough to get my daughter in, and vaccinated. At this point, I'm more concerned about possible side affects, in the future.
Fingers crossed!
I am on to something here and I need some information from the group. I need to know if anyone here has a family history of allergies, father, mother, grandparents, etc. My findings with this could prove very important. Thank you.
my daughter (16) had the hpv vaccine (first shot) 6 months ago- since she has had near fainting episodes- which include loss of vision, coordination and headache- sometimes nausea-
these never happened before the vaccine and although infrequent, are very scary- she was in the er last week due to a near fainting episode in which she experienced complete loss of vision, motor skills, sharp headache, nausea and near fainting for around 1/2 hour- I hope this is resolvable, needless to say she will not be getting any more hpv vaccines
Angie,
Is there a family history of allergies? It could be mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandparents, etc. Anything from a seasonal allergy to asthma.
I am doing my own research and it is leading me in this direction.
Thank you.
Yes, my daughter has year round allergies. I have always thought she had an allergic reaction to the gardsil vaccine. Her reaction included a very stiff neck and back for about a week after the shot, pins and needles sensations throughout her body which lasted for about a month. She was ok with the first dose but suffered these reactions with the second dose. She will NOT be getting the third.
What about metal allergies? Has anyone thought of that? If there is too much metal in the body, has anyone tried "chleation" (to cleanse / rid the body of excess metal)?
I am looking into all allergies so metal allergies are a possibility. Some parents are having their daughters go through detox or chleation. They are having good results but the process is slow. That is the only thing that seems to be working presently.
Hello, I am sure you don't know this but this is therefore very important information.
Indeed, Gardasil has also killed young women in FRANCE and also in Belgium and not only in the US , in Germany and in Austria....
Of course, the press has not yet published something on these facts but I have informed them and I realy hope this information will be diffused, it is about public health!!
In February 2008, my mum heard in a Brussels drugstore a young woman saying to the pharmacist that 2 of her friends died soon after Gardasil...the press did not talk about this.
A few days after knowing this fact, I could read Mariane's testimony on a french speaking site and she explained how it has happen with her friend who died in France two weeks after the first Gardasil shot....
So I can perferctly imagine how many lives have been taken in reality all over the world and that is why I am pressing you to be careful, to pay maximum of attention at such facts.
It has to make with your future and your dreams and if people shows too much gullibility then there will be so many innocent victims of these firms......
I realy think we all have to stand up and say: "STOP, we are definitely NOT guinea pigs and you can carry on producing your poisons, that is NOT a valuable reason to force us to get it!!!"
Thank you for having read this and have a good health, you as your family!!
Kind regards.
Hello again,
For Cynthia, Sharon and Jenzen, yes it could be a problem with toxic metal in Gardasil but it could also be the totality wich is a very awful coktail and I am personnaly convinced that vaccine toxicity is often due to a phenomenon of "cumulative toxicity"
It is true that each shot of Gardasil does contain plenty of aluminium used as adjuvant.
Each shot of Gardasil brings 225 µg of aluminium what it is a very important charge. For comparison each shot of Cervarix vaccine (the other HPV vaccine) brings 500 µg of aluminium and a new adjuvant the AS04.
Aluminium has the capacity to "fight" with the iron of our body to take its place on the natural sites of fixation so that the ferritin molecule will never be charged enough with iron that is needed for uour health.
That is why being poisonned with aluminium causes a low ferritin level in blood. Pay attention, aluminium levels in blood are NOT significative of a case of poisonning and very poisonned people could have normal levels of aluminium in blood.
The MELISA test is also interesting but it is about quality of our personnal answers to aluminium and not of quantity of it. People who are suspected to have specific sensibity to aluminium or other types of metals could be investigated with such a test. In fact, the two types of exams are complementary because people could be poisonned with a very low amount of aluminium because they are more sensible but these people and others could also be poisonned with a to high quantity of aluminium also due to chronic exposition (with survaccination and others)
But, if you investigate a little more, you will see that aluminium is not the possible guilty alone!!!
Do you know that each shot of Gardasil contains polysorbate 80, a substance that can give cancer to animals (so possible induced cancer in human beings too!)and also sodium borate?
Sodium borate as aluminium is a well known neurotoxic.
Sodium borate is a poison that could be toxic as well if it is inhaled, ingested or put in contact of the skin!!
Show here that sodium borate is said to can cause vomiting, diarrhea, muscular spasms, dullness, lethargy, circulatory depression, central nervous system depression, shock, kidney damage, coma, and even death!
http://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/HTMLdocs/SodiumBorate.htm
They say that lethal amount is reached with 15 to 20 grams BUT we all know that official norms are not always very scientificly established. A so toxic substance should never be put on products that are designed for healthy people, people who have much more to loose than to win!!!
Kind regards.
My daughter is 25 and is 5'6" and weighs 110. She took her second shot of gardisil and is suffering a 103 fever and has abdominal pain. Her doctor said it has nothing to do with the gardisil shot, but from reviewing this website, I do think there is a connection. I have advised her not to get her third shot as i think it will put her health in jeopardy. Women need to do more research on sites like this to make an informed decision about taking this vaccine.
I am not surprised Lucy, doctors most often say that "is has nothing to do with this of that vaccine"!
It is not serious at last!
Too much "coïncidences" kills THE possibility of coïncidence!!
Of course there is a connexion between the symptomatology of your daughter and this stupid and useless vaccine.
Do not forget that Gardasil has already caused 25 deaths in the US and also more than 8000 life threatening effects! This is official statistics but even FDA and CDC have admitted that official numbers of adverse events of vaccines are only 1% of the amount of victims in reality.
So the real number of victims of Gardasil may approach in the US 800 000 persons who do not even suppose, for the great part of them, it could be a link between their condition and the received vaccine!
For such a reason I think the advise you made to your daughter is pretty appropriate.
Hi I am 22, and just under month ago I received the first shot of this vaccine along with Hep A... While I am thankful I have not had the fainting or anything serious of that nature, I have had a couple minor effects I became allergic to Dairy products, as well as having some memory problems... Now I am second guessing getting the 2nd shot, but one thing I did decide is that if I do get it, I wont go alone...
Have People seen this...
Reporting of Adverse Events After Vaccination
As with any newly licensed vaccine, surveillance for rare adverse events associated with administration of quadrivalent HPV vaccine is important for assessing its safety in widespread use. All clinically significant adverse events should be reported to VAERS at http://vaers.hhs.gov, even if causal relation to vaccination is not certain. VAERS reporting forms and information are available electronically at http://www.vaers.hhs.gov or by telephone (800-822-7967). Web-based reporting is available and providers are encouraged to report electronically at https://secure.vaers.org/VaersDataEntryintro.htm to promote better timeliness and quality of safety data.
Safety surveillance for adolescent quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Tdap, MCV4, and other vaccines is being conducted on an ongoing basis in cooperation with FDA. A vaccine in pregnancy registry has been established by Merck and Co., Inc.; patients and health-care providers should report any exposure to quadrivalent HPV vaccine during pregnancy (telephone: 800-986-8999).
Meghan please be aware that you are risking your life with such vaccine. If I was you of course I would stop it quickly, it is so evident!
Do you know that the producer has mentionned in the notice that auto-immune diseases could even occure 4 years after this vaccine?
If something like that happens to you, will you realy be able to make the connexion? No of course and Big Pharma enjoy it!
Do you know that deaths occured after Gardasil but not only in the US... in Germany and also in Austria and that is why Austria do not advise officially anyone to receive this vaccine.
What the 2 official deaths in Europ concerns you have to know that one of them occured 3 weaks after the first shot and the other a few hours after the second shot.
Do you know Meghan that Gardasil is such toxic that it can cause abortive situations and miscarriage in pregnant women who receive it? If it is so toxic for the foetus, it can not be so safe for you or the other people who get it, it is evident!!
Vaers is important but even FDA and CDC have admitted that only 1% of the reality of adverse events of vaccines was there reported.
Look at the judicial watch site and you will see that there is already 25 officially reported deaths and more than 8000 very serious effects.
1% of the reality ot is so possible that 800 000 women have already suffered of such very serious effects...it is awfull!!!
And you must not forget that here in Belgium and in France too, deaths have occured yet but yes, not "officially reported" or expressed in the medias.
But I read the testimony of Mariane who explained she lost her friend 2 weeks after the second shot of Gardasil and a few days before having read this, my mum heard here in Brussels in a common drugstore the story of the young woman who was just before her in the file. What did this young woman say? That she has just soon lost 2 of her friends after this bullshit vaccine Gardasil, HERE IN BELGIUM. She told that in february of this year and Mariane told her story on 25 and 26 february of this year too.
BE CAREFUL. BE LUCID. NOT FOR ME OF COURSE BUT BECAUSE YOUR HEALTH AND EVEN YOUR HOLE LIFE AND FUTURE DEPEND ON IT.
Best wishes..
Meghan,
With the study that I am doing presently I would suggest that you do not get the shot. My reason is that you stated that you became allergic to Dairy products. So far in my study it seems that people with a family history of allergies are the greatest at risk for adverse effects of this vaccine.
Now, if you would do me a favor. Is there a family history of allergies. It does not matter if it is even house dust. Does anyone have asthma?
Thank you
Hello everyone,
I have not read every post on this site yet because I am up for an appointment with the doctor today very shortly and I just came across this site a few minutes ago, but I feel it is important to let you know what has been going on with me too. As for the person who made this site: Thank you and I found you by googling "fainting and seizures".
I took all 3 shots 1.5 yrs ago and have had lots of health issues since. I have been to the doctor on several occasions with complaints, but we never thought about them being reactions to the Gardasil until I google'd it. Apparently family doctors don't want to think anything is really wrong with you and when you ask for testing they do the most basic out there. The following has been my experiences:
-After 1st and 2nd shot, had serious pain in arm and could not lift arm
-vomited a few weeks after first shot for approx 4 days, thought was food poison but others who ate same food did not vomit
-lost 8 lbs 3 weeks after first shot, but gained back
-have gotten hives 3 times (even within the past 3 weeks), but almost daily breakouts and itchy, rashy skin, esp. on feet and hands
-very tired
-difficulty concentrating
-had 2-3 flu-like colds since shots, including now (hard to fight off)
-have been told by friends my symptoms are like auto immune diseases
-hair loss
-sensitive breasts
The only allergies I know if is my father and sister both had really bad asthma...My sister had seasonal/year round allergies, but I never had any allergies except for a 1-time hive reaction to an ant bite when I was about 8 years old. I did take Percacet once when I had my wisdom teeth removed and I vomited the whole time I was on it, but that is it.
I am 23 (was 21 when I started the shots) and am very concerned because I am having long term reactions already--My sister took the shot and is a chemist; she didn't have any problems and I trusted her results and knowledge of the vaccine, but after learning what I know now I would have been crazy to take the shot!!!
I am tired ALL the time and I have school, a business, and am trying to build a home and family. I do not have the time to be so extremely weak and tired so much!!
A. Moore,
Could you find out what the batch numbers were for your shots and your sisters. I would like to compare them with the data I presently have.
Also, my husband just came up to me with some food to see if I wanted any and I just got nauseas at the smell and thought of food. I have been having really weird appetites where I go without feeling hungry A LOT and other times I am STARVING...it's strange to me and don't know what the deal is.
I'd like to make note too that when I started having so many problems, I thought that maybe I was pregnant so I took lots of pregnancy tests (eventually my period came) but I never had an irregular period before now. I was on birth control for several years, but I stopped taking it in November because I was feeling bad all the time and thought it might be linked.
When it comes to the pregnancy issues, my sister talked about how so many women she knows (at least 7-10) has had at least one miscarriage---I am wondering if they took Gardasil!!!!!
Also, what is this talk that Merck has suit immunity?? I am sorry, but if it has caused me life problems after getting a wimpy list of short term problems of itching and swelling at the injections site, I should have the right to SUE!!! It sounds like there are hundreds, if not thousands, of others who feel the same way.
Cynthia,
Oh wow, I have no idea how to go about finding that information. She took the shot probably 6mo-1yr before me and we live about 2 hours apart. If you tell me how to find out, I'll try!
Oh yeah--and I forgot to mention---which is why I ended up here on this website----Is when I went to the doctor to see why I have been having problems about a month or two ago (mind you I had no idea to think about linking the Gardasil at this point), the doctor did basic blood work. He wanted 4 vials of blood for the tests and when the Phlebotomist (sp?) got to the 3rd vial my eyes went into the back of my head and I had tingling all over my body and I was out like a light for supposedly 40 minutes but I felt like I had just faded out a little and came back with severe tingling and shakiness. I was searching the differences between seizures and fainting, because I wasn't sure which one it was, but it horrified me!!! I came back to consciousness and was crying and all I could verbalize was "somethings wrong, somethings wrong with me". I am not someone that is scared of needles and I've had my blood drawn several times before and no problems.
There should be a record of the lot numbers in your chart at the doctors office. They are supposed to keep track of that when administering any vaccine. So when you visit your doctor just ask him and if he says he does not know ask him why? There should be a way if this happens that he/she has a record someplace what has the lot number for the vaccine that he received if he/she did not put it on the chart.
Be persistant with this or you may not get anything. I have dealt with a similar situation in the past and a firm but nice manner usually works.
Thank you.
If the doc asks why I want the lot number, should I just say that someone online is doing research on Gardasil??
In summer of 06, before I left for college, I had my first Gardasil shot done and I knew that so many months afterward I woudl have to go for the follwoing 2. I didint get the shots at the recommended time periods and hot them both mcuh later than what I was told to. I havent felt any symptoms or fainting as I have read, but after hearing these reports, I think now I recommend not getting the Gardasil with such astounding afterresults up to months or years from the injection.
I think yoru regualr doctors and pediatricians shoudl eb aware of this too. I had a differn tdoctor than what I woudl normally have and she seemed quite confident about this new product. She did mention that there may be pain swelling etc at the site of injection, btu I think I can safely say I didnt hear ANYTHING about siezures that paralyze or autoimmune or death. This is just a sign that our hired FDA is not doing what it is supposed to do and test and test and test new drugs to ensure we dotn have these "faulty products."
Not only that, but as much as I know caner is a killer and horrible for anyone to get, does ANYONE ACTUAALY KNOW how many people get the HPV in their cervix areas and such and hwo often or what # out of how many studied women actaully developed cervix cancer from the HVP [or was it prone by family genetics? and tehy just catagorized it???]??
Also, maybe no one thinks about it, but have you actaulyl looked up HPV?
"Some HPV types can cause warts while others may cause a subclinical infection resulting in precancerous lesions. All HPVs are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact and/or by fomites."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus
HPV is what causes warts in a nutshell. Now this goes back even further to a faultier system perhaps -sex education. What kids arent told they wont know, what protection we dotn provide to them the more they do it and the less they know what can happen. It comes down to the kids/[young] people who are going to engauge in sex, the more they know about each others history, the possible better for prevention. It is no differnt than any STD like HIV/AIDS. If maybe more annonymous services are available, maybe people will use them more, and unfortuantly comes the contorversial issue of hwo yound is too young to teach children about sex? I dont blame TV, or videogames, and I wont start this bedate- if there is anyone to blame it is the parenst!!!!! YOu bring your kid up right, maybe they will think a bit more clear. I believe in a freedom of choice, but my older parenst than the normal for my age group believed in sex after marriage, and tehy didnt harp this on us kids either, but I didnt become soem sex hound at the age of 13 either like some of my friends I knew, or kids I hear about from younger school grades.
You dont teach your kids, they wont know any better, and children are like sponges up until they gradeuate from highschool and even past that into young adulthood -you leave them to teh open world and you may regret what they pick up along the way. parenst, as much as your kids may buck the system of parenthood, keep a firm hand and talk from your heart. Maybe they won understand now, but they listen eventaully.
In the end, it comes down to the individual for proection -protect yourself with knowledge before taking new exploritive medications like Gardasil and teach your kids how to be safe (believe me adstinance crap doesnt make a godo argument, being safe if they do does)
Yes, that would be the perfect answer. Tell your sister the same thing when you call her on the phone. Also I just noticed that your sister has seasonal allergies. Could you find out if she was taking an over the counter anti-histamine when she received her shots?
Thank you.
I have had the entire series without any incident. I got the shots last year at 25.
I am sorry Hilary but you have to say....for the moment!
Indeed the producer has admitted in the notice that auto-immune diseases can occure even 4 years after the vaccine!
Of course I hope you will be free of any adverse event after this stupid vaccination but it is possible that the opposite occured and if it is the case, be al least able to make the connexion!!
Well it has been over a yr so I guess I would have a hard time believing that the vac was a cause of any problem I may have sometime in the future but of course it is noted in my med history that I received it so one can always assume.
CNN has a story about gardasil. Finally someone is starting to say something in a public forum. We need to get this vaccine off the market. http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/07/07/cervical.cancer.vaccine/index.html
And for the girl doing the research, my daughter had allergic reaction to penicillin as a baby. I her mother am allergic to sulfa. Her dad is also allergic to penicillin. Don't know if that helps but thats all I can think of right now.
Hello again,
Meghan I well understand that you could have some difficult to believe it but adverse events of vaccines have nothing to do with some belief! It is all about facts and reality, knoledge so and not any belief! Vaccination is based on ideology and absolutely not on facts and reality. Is has never been proved that vaccines were safe and effective. Never.
The most problematic issue concerning "vaccinomania" is precisely that people used to say "such thing does not exist BECAUSE I do not understand it"
That is so presomptuous!
Earth has not waited for us knowing that she was round to turn again and again!
So truth and reality of facts do exist on their own even if nobody heard ever of it!
It is the same process here with side effects of such vaccine.
And I can say to you that if even the firm noticed in her documents that auto-immune illnesses can occure several years after immunisation, it is because it is more than certain.
Indeed when a fact is more than certain then the firm will admit it but if a serious fact is certain, for the producer , that is not enough, public health issues are always supplanted by financial matters!!
I have also to say to you Meghan that you are too naive when you say that, if it is noted on your medical file, the connexion will always could be done.
That is absolutely NOT the reality of facts because almost 10% only of medical practicionners admit reporting side effects of vaccines when they recognize them!
Medical doctors are conditionned by Big Pharma and it is very rare that some allopathis practicionner will clearly say "well it has to make with the passed vaccine"
Ahahahah it should be too good that things go this way in reality!!! Event if almost all people have all the vaccines they received well noted on their medical file, doctors never ask question about it during the clinical exam!
The conclusion is sad but not difficult to say for everyone who knows a little bit how really works the system:
Do never count on any medical doctor to establish such "connexion" between side effets and any vaccine. Never but only on your own judgement and if your have to meet some comprehensive and lucid doctor so it will be a not so sad news for you in such a case but learn to count on your own because it can safe your life in our actual medical system entirely based on pharmaceutical wishes.
Bye....and have a goold health of course!
I am 23 years old, 5'5, 125 lbs, thin/athletic, very healthy, a runner. I received my first shot in April 2008 and then second in June 2008. I had never really thought of getting the shots until my GYN suggested it to me. She said she would have her own daughters get it. I didn't have any problems from the shots, but I'm wondering if this is related and if anyone else had a similar experience. Two weeks ago (so late June 2008) I went to the ER with the worst abdominal pain I've ever had. They ran a bunch of tests and couldn't find anything wrong, even did an ultrasound. I went to another doctor and they diagnosed me with constipation. I wasn't quite sure that I agreed with it but after about 1.5 weeks I felt better and back to normal. However, now I have to have a catscan on my liver because the ultrasound showed a spot on my liver. I feel back to normal now, but still want the doctors to investigate all avenues for the mysterious pain because I don't believe that I was truly constipated. Has anyone had anything similar? Could constipatio an abdominal pain be connected to Gardasil? I don't think I'm going to get the 3rd dose. Thoughts? Thanks and God Bless all of you and your families.
Kaitlin,
I have spoken with and corresponded with many families that have daughters that are going through all kinds of side-effects. One of the common side-effects is stomach cramping especially when it is that time of the month. My suggestion for you is that you should not get the last shot.
As to your liver I have not heard of anyone having that problem but then who knows what might be caused. The doctors do not have a clue.
I am doing research in order to help find something that the doctors can use to help all the people that are affected.
I hope this helps you.
I have gotten permission from the family to post what Jenny's family authorized CBS to air.
This morning, the CBS Early Show ran a story about Gardasil, using Jenny as the example of a girl who may have experienced an “adverse reaction” to the vaccine. CBS contacted the family; we did not contact them. Family representatives emphasized to CBS’s producers Boxer and Bicknell that we do not want Jenny to become the poster child for the anti-Gardasil campaign and that it is by no means certain that Gardasil caused Jenny’s illness. Rather, our goal in making Jenny’s sad story public is to locate any possible “comparables” to Jenny – which could include girls (and even boys) who have not taken Gardasil, but who have experienced a rapid decline and paralysis that is resistant to the many kinds of treatment Jenny already has received. We are disappointed that the CBS on-air story did not mention the search for comparables and that the online version of the story merely suggests that “Jenny's father hopes a blog he started will prompt other teens with similar post-vaccination problems to come forward.” That is, at best, half the story: Jenny’s family needs to hear about any and all possible comparable cases, regardless of the apparent cause.
To set the record straight, and to get the information so desperately needed to help Jenny, we publish here the full statement that the family gave to CBS:
“The family believes that there may be a link between Jenny’s health and the HPV vaccination – at the very least, the timing of her third Gardasil injection (March 2007) and the apparent onset of symptoms sometime later in the spring of 2007 is suggestive. But, there is no medical consensus on whether this hypothesis is stronger than other possible explanations. A variety of hypotheses relating to the HPV vaccination remain in the running, and the family is concerned that these vaccine-related hypotheses have not yet gotten the full investigation required to accept or reject Gardasil as a potential explanation (in full or in part) for Jenny’s condition. The family has an understandable and strong desire that all such possibilities be thoroughly investigated immediately, as Jenny’s life hangs in the balance.
“The desperate need is to identify any ‘strong comparables’ to Jenny’s case, where a comparable is defined as someone (1) who has experienced rapidly progressive weakening and loss of the use of his/her limbs, (2) for whom the onset of the condition began before adulthood, and (3) for whom treatments such as immunoglobulin (IVIG), plasmapheresis, steroids and immunosuppressants such as Cytoxan have failed to halt the progression of disease. The comparable would be even stronger if (4) the individual were female rather than male (apparently, neurodegenerative diseases such as juvenile-onset ALS are much less common in females, which is part of what makes the nature of Jenny’s disease so mysterious). And, it would certainly be of interest if (5) the potential comparable had received the Gardasil vaccine (or perhaps some other vaccine with key similarities, such as an aluminum adjuvant) prior to the onset of symptoms.
“The cause of Jenny’s illness remains a medical mystery. Finding relevant comparables could help to solve that mystery and thus provide a crucial clue to finding the treatment that could save Jenny’s life. Time is of the essence because Jenny is now a quadriplegic and is losing the struggle to breathe.

i have finishes all 3 of my shots already. im 16 and very small for my age. for me each shot was the same i just got a little dizzy and my arm hurt alot for about a week after. although after reading all of this i thought that possibly my recent fainting may have to do with this. i got my last shot in the end of may, then fainted in the middle of june and also just a few days ago; both times i was alone and it was hot out, so i just thought it was heat stroke, or i was dehidrated; could it be because of this shot. And also does this shot effect vision because my vision has been getting worse and wirse ever since i got the shot, but my eye doctor said it is because i dont wear my glasses enough. and one other thing is pain of my lower left side, it seems to hurts really bad when i walk too much or even run, this never used to happen and my doctor told me its cause im not as active as i should be. i have not had and types of tests done, and i did not know the risks of this shot until today. & i was just wondering if any of this may have to do with the shot?
It is a true massacre, there is no other adapted word. I really hope that a big trial court will arrived where producers will have to answer to their responsabilities!!
For Kaitlin, the effect you described (horrible abdominal pain) is clearly linked with Gardasil. If you knowed as many time I heard this kind of testimony!!!
Gardasil can cause appendicitis, pelvis inflammation, violent abdominal pain, period changing and many other effets.
What Cynthia said to you was very appropriated I think and I completely agree with her on that: you should absolutely NOT receive the third shot. Of course not!!
For the liver spot, I think it could be linked with too.
Indeed after having received the hepatitis B vaccine (wich is a transgenic vaccine too!)I suffered from liver problems and and ultrasound found that the picture was compatible with hepatitis while any other cause of hepatitis (viral of auto-immunity) have been excluded!!!! The lonely cause that was possible was this toxic vaccine that yes, can really destroy people's liver....that beats everything!!!!
When you knows that liver comes in first line facing toxic products in our body and that gardasil contains polysorbate 80, a big amount of aluminium (225µg) and sodium borate, a well known toxic, you could not be surprised again by such effects!
See here Kaitlin for the toxics effects of sodium borate:
http://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/HTMLdocs/SodiumBorate.htm
So this way it could be very indicated that you take an isopathic meaning a specific antidote (in homeopathy) of the vaccine your received yet...
What Danielle's case concerns, I put on the table that is not the first testimony about problems of vision after this vaccine!
On this page already I saw testimonies wich spoke about loss of vision!
Such serious effect could absolutely not be just a "coïncidence" I think.
For me it is clear it is the vaccine and the ophtalmologist who said it was the glasses not clear enough I have true difficulties to believe it has be spoken by a medical doctor, by someone of "scientific"! It is amazing how medical doctors can say stupids things when it comes about the viability of the big myth "safe and effective vaccines"!!!!!!!!
I encouraged you to NOT believing such ridiculous speach because it is here about your health and that is very precious, too precious to let this at the hands of partial people....
For me it is clear you must take the homeopathis antidote (named isopathic) wich is specific of gardasil. You have to take as soon as possible this safe medication wich will probably resolve your problem. First beginning with the isopathic of gardasil at the dilution of 30k and then following the intensity of your reactions (that are always reversible) take the isopathic of Gardasil at the dilution of 200K one week later and then the last isopathic at the dilution of 1000K must be taken also one week after. Sometimes the homeopathic practicionner can prescribe an isopathic at the dilution of 10000K and in your case it is no impossible that you will have to take this but it is crucial to begin crescendo, without precipitation.
In homeopathy, as more a substance is diluted, as more powerfull it is, do not forget it!
Danielle I think it is really crucial for you that you try such method (called sequential therapy) and if you are interested in it, then I can communicate you the name of a women formed to this method in the US. I do not know where you live exactly in the US and I know also that US are much extended but with some symptoms it could be worth going there even if it is a litlle bit far from your home.
The name of the person who will maybe can help you is Dr Maureen T Bunce. Indeed she is referenced on the Dr Jean Elmiger's website....
So for you I find two different adresses and phones to reach her:
91 Summer Street,
Springfield,
05156 Vermont
phone: 802 885-3874
It exist also an other adress for this doctor:
155 GRIFFIN RD,
PORTSMOUTH, NH 03801
Phone: 603-430-5422
In all case, the mail should be the same most probably and it is the following:
maureen.bunce@dartmouth.edu
So why not contacting her by mail first, explaining what happened to you Danielle and ask her for the "sequential method" of the "method of antidotes/isopathic"? You can also speak about the "method of Elmiger", Elmiger being a medical doctor also homeopathic doctor from Switzerland who has a lot of experience and who taught Dr Bunce this method.
Kaitlin it could be also interesting for your health that you contact this person and ask her for the specific antidotes...
Maybe will she give you other names of practionners who can help you near the place where you live?

(see the names of medical doctors country by country when cliking on "médecins")
So have a good health Danielle and Kaitlin and give us soon news of your situation!!!!
Friendly yours.
PS: Facing so much testimonies of real disaster after such poisonous vaccine, I contacted the press of my country and I really hope that the toxicity of gardasil will be told very soon for saving the health of a majority of young women...Like in Austria since a few weeks Gardasil must not ever been officially recommanded nor in the US nor in the rest of Europ!!!!!
Thank you to everyone for your help so far. I will definitely do more research and let you know my results. I had the catscan today and a doctor's appointment on Thursday so I'll bring up everything. I wish I had known this all beforehand...
Please pray for Jenny. She is off to have a procedure and in her condition it is risky.
Thank you.
I have 12 year old daughter who had the 1st of these shots in 8/17/07 and she had what they called a syncope episode on 9/6/07 we took her to the hospital in wichita ks and were told that she had anxiety, and adjustment disorder. We were told to ride this out if she had more. Which she did they statred out with her being conscious and then she ended up having seizure like activities that have her twitching and on the floor, where she is passing out. She is having reaction to this vaccine. She has went through ECG,MRI,EKG,EEG,Blood test,UA tests,C/T scans. All are normal except for the C/T scan came back as abnormal. We are now on the second set of all these tests and you can be sure that I am going to be asking questions.There is a law firm that has set up to persue cases of sueing Merck look for them call them. I have been told it is possible that she has neoplasm, that she has syncope, that she may have heart condition, that she may have seizures but no definite answer to the situation. Have videos of the activities that she is having these episodes. Have all the Dr. records and will be getting the rest as I am going to persue law suit on this company Merck for there lack of concern for people, and the fact that these things can kill my child. I am not sure if my daughter has any of the other things like the Guillian Barre Syndrome but guarantee i will be looking into this. If you would like to contact me my email is listed below and I'd be glad to chat with you in regards to the subject, and to just give you support or to get some from you gothicbettyboop@yahoo.com
thanks and good luck to you all.
well it is me again forgot to state that my daughter had all 3 shots and that I am now lobbying against this shot as I recommend against it, our lives and the lives of our children are to important to be dealing with this mess and we are the ones who are paying for the crap these companys are doing. They are just out to make a quick buck at our expense. One of the people you can contact is Erin Brocovich yes from the movie she has a case dealing with this stuff.Don't be shy to be an advocate for anyone whom can use the advice even if they do not ask for it just give it to them.
Hello Jolene,
What you are doing to do is admirable! I am exactly in the same initiative but in Europ and you in the US. I am definitely convinced that the key of such just fight for public health stays in a very strong partnership between the US population and people of Europ.It THE key.
Here in West Europe it is 00H14 (jetlag)o' clock but in a few hours after some sleeping time I promess, I will take contact with you to see what kind of initiative we could put on the table....
You spoke about Erin Brokovich, yes that is exactly the same kind of fight for the preservation of public health!!
I do not know if you saw this but the actress Jenny MacCarthy and her partner Jim Carey took part at the very historic demontration "Green our vaccines!" in past june in Washington DC....
The actress has indeed an autistic child who became this way soon after a vaccine.
At this demonstration there was also people like Kennedy junior.
See here from youtube the part 1 of 6 of it:
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=gXOHfXso2Vc
I think that public people, that "stars" have a lot of work to do in this stuff!!!
Let's their know it!!!!
So I write you very soon.
Friendly yours.
I am 19 years old. I got the vaccine last Oct. when I was 18. I was supposed to get three shots that day and went in to receive them, the nurse asked me if I wanted to get the HPV one. I hadn't heard about it so I asked her a few questions and she said that everything was fine and that all the girls were getting them. So I thought, what the heck, and told her yes. I really really wish I would have never done that. First I got my last Hep. vaccine...and then I got the HPV in my right arm. I have NEVER fainted before in my life..and I NEVER been allergic to anything. I am very healthy and hardy ever get sick. I sat while she gave me the shots, not even a minute after getting the HPV shot I felt very sick to my stomach and couldn't move. I felt stuck to the table I was sitting on. I told the nurse to get me a trash can. While she was doing that I leaned over on my mom, I didn't do it voluntarily, I just went sideways. Then the nurse gave me a trash can and I gagged a few times and don't remember anything else. When I opened my eyes, I was in a fog tunnel and faintly heard the nurse telling me to breathe. She sounded million of miles away. Slowing, I came too. My body was all tingly and I broke out in a sweat. I had fainted with my head in the trash can..not once..but TWICE. I have no recollection of it. Also, I wasnt breathing and the nurse had to shake and slap me to get me breathing. I laid there for a few minutes and then went into the waiting room to wait for 30 minutes so they could watch me. With in 20 minutes probably, my hands started itching really bad. I looked down and my fingers and hands and and half way up my arm was blood red in a rash and it burnt and itched. I called a nurse and asked if it was normal and she said no, that I was having an allergic reaction. I broke out all over my body. They gave me some allergy pills to take and some water. Eventually...maybe half an hour....the rash and redness went away and I was able to leave. I was so weak, I could barely walk. My arm was very sore and hard to move for only that day, then it was alright. I was weak, sick to my stomach, and had lower abdominal pains for about a week after wards. Also, I believe I have a long term affect from this shot. Right after I got it, any time I would sweat, I would break out in burning itching rashes all over my body and almost faint. I went to my doctor, but as all the others, she claimed that there was no connection to the HPV shot. I do not believe this. I had blood work and an EKG and Heart Sonogram done..and everything came back normal...but things are NOT normal, I have no take an allergy EVERY DAY before I leave the house...or work out...or do any kind of activity, because I am allergic to my own sweat! It's been about nine months since I got the shot and I'm still having this allergy...I guess that's what it is. I will NOT get anymore HPV shots. I have told EVERY girl I know..NOT to get this shot. Also, I have noticed that when I walk or work out...I can only do so for a shot time, because I get winded and feel faint. I have NEVER felt like this before....I worked out all the time. I get very tired for no reason...and my heart feels like it's beating irregularly....but as I said, Ive had tests done...but nothing was found. I believe there is something very strange about this vaccine...and the people aware of it. If you haven't had this shot..DO NOT get it. It is not worth it. Something is not right here...sooner or later it will come out.
Sable!! Your experience is JUST LIKE MINE!!!! The only difference is I have been feeling this way for 1.5 years, I had all 3 shots, and I didn't faint right away--I fainted just the other day. I get hot sweats all the time now and I feel very nauseas a lot...I break out on my hands about every other day or so..I am tired ALL the time....and the docs say its not related to the Gardasil but I feel VERY STRONGLY that it is!!!!
Please keep in touch because I don't know about you but I plan to find a root to the problem!!! We might need each other's experiences to verify somehow that it is linked to Gardasil.
I hope you feel better than I do on a daily basis.

Has anyone tried to do any kind of whole body cleanse or specifically chelation? I want to try this but fear it will wash out the anti-seizure medication resulting in seizures while going through the chelation process. Has anyone had any experience or know anything about this?
Please let me know.
My daughter was 14 years old when she started the shots -- ever since then she has had a body twitching problem -- she will involuntarily spasm as if she has a cold chill -- she has gone through MRI, EEG and has had 11 vials of blood taken from her to test from everything from A to Z. Everything has come back normal. We now must go to a specialist in Rochester, NY. These symptoms did not start until after she had the vaccine. I am waiting to hear from her neurologist to see if he thinks there is a causal link between the vaccine and these symptoms. Has anyone else experienced body spasms? I wish I had better information on the vaccine before I had my daughter vaccinated.
Hi, YES! My daughter had them, after three hospital stays and the last at the Indianapolis Seisure Center, she was diagnosed with Myoclonis Seisures.They eventually stopped.She from time to time though get these chills and small shakes but hasnt gone back to the consistant upper body Myoclonis jerks like they were.I believe these heavy metals/poisons in the Gardicil shots are all side effects when the body has reactions like everyone is having.I hope everyone continues to get better as these metals work out of the bodys system.
Yes, my daughter still has involuntary twitching and jerking of her muscles even when having a relaxed casual conversation.
Our daughter was diagnosed with Myoclonis seizures -- that is why we have to go to a specialist in Rochester -- doctors here have exhausted everything. Keep me posted. Thanks
I will, for sure, keep it in touch with this website and everyone on it. Any of you can email me...with info..with questions...anything! I am looking into a lawsuit also. This is ridiculous and NEVER should have happened to any of us! Some are way worse than others, but the point is that we were tricked into thinking this was something to protect us against a deadly disease...when in reality...the vaccine itself is deadly and causes diseases. My email is s.koli89@yahoo.com. Feel free to email.
Hi,
Metal chelation does not seem me the best way to manage such sides effects of Gardasil because DMSA ou DMPS are indicated for mercury poisonning (there is not mercury in gardasil) and the most indicated chelator for aluminium poisonning is EDTA BUT is is not very safe. Indeed EDTA allows a feed back of toxic metal trough blood-brain barrier and if people was poisonned with mercury dental fillings, EDTA will make worse than better.
For a safetier detoxication of aluminium metal, I would advise to use magnesium dimalate.
All the people who suffer from sides effets of such vaccine have also interest to take 1 pill a day of ACEROLA, that is NATURAL ascorbic acid (vitamine C)during one month at least. That is not to take during the meals.
And more of all, the first medication to take in case of specific side effects of Gardasil is the homeopathic antidote (named isopathic) of it: first at a dilution of 30K and then 200K and then 1000K or 200 then 1000K.
If the problem is not solved after this, the homeopath practionner could eventually prescribe the dilution at 10 000 K.
Bye
Our doctors tested her for everything when she was rushed to the hospital in Illinois and again at a southern Indiana hospital. After all the expense and medical bills building up they had said Myoclonis which is a name for seizures of unknown causes pretty much.Then they sent her to IU Epilepsy Center in Indy , where after a couple days of hooked up to brain monitors and TV monitors they were puzzled and couldnt find what was the cause for what was happening to her.With many specialists in the field watching her body seizure all day and night they did not come up with any findings. Then they wanted us to take her to the Womens seizure center of Nashville,TN which appoinment was for 3 months later.We had exhausted our medical funds and still are paying on the hospital's.I was thankful that our daughters Myoclonis gradually went away and we didnt go to Nashville.Like everyone else all the doctors said they wouldnt say it was from the Gardicil shots but were open that it could had been.I printed out some of the Blogs on here and took them with us to IU (INDIANA UNIVERSITY EPILEPSY CENTER OF SEIZURES),After my daughter IU doctor read all the stuff i found and printed off the internet about the shots and how i felt it was related, she wanted me to look this up on her computer for proof where she could actually show this to her collegues,she was greatful that i was able to have this so they could make notes of all this.They were all seemed very suprised of all the people who have had some of the same reactions to the shots...Its sad that we all have and are going through this.There is no way that so many girls from all over are having problems after they had the Gardacil shots.I continue to read everyones blogs from day to day for this is and should be a concern to everyone how this will turn out for the future of our daughters to come and what the outcome will be years down the road.It worries me that their could be problems down the road that we dont even know about.I hope everyone on here continues to share their stories, I know I will.My daughter is going off to college in August and scares me to death if this should come back....
God Bless,
Deb
My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with Myoclonic Seizures in Jan '08 (6 weeks after her 2nd Gardasil shot). She is getting better but for 6 weeks she suffered debiliatating headaches, muscle and joint pain where she couldn't even walk, fainting spells and seizures! She missed over 3 weeks of school!
Hi, I just wanted to give a little more detail about my daughter and her symptoms for those of you that can relate, learn or compare to our experience. She age got the gardasil shot on Oct 16th. Picture of health, wonderful, sweet girl. 6 Weeks later on Dec. 8th she experienced her first tonic clonic seizure(grandma seizure). Tragic experience in front of whold school assemble during rival basketball game. Ambulance to hospital. Doctor accused her of being on drugs or bullemic. All test results revealed the she was not. MRI, CT scan, and EEG all prove normal. She was placed on Keppra which really affected her mental state. Tired, low spirits and not the energetic girl I was used to. At the neurologist her IRON level measured 24, 50 is a normal level. Hoped it was isolated incident 6 weeks later take her off med for half dose 1 day and another massive seizure at school again. Back on new medication that she tolerated soooooooooo much better. So now she states she will never come off med due to fear of another seizure. She is a normal girl and has the spirit to live out loud. I love her and am very proud to see her rise above her trials.
Hi.
My daughter had all three shots at the strong recommendation of our pediatrician, and they hurt her arm very much! She cried a lot for a 13 year old. But that got better in a few days. Then, after a few months I think it was, one day she developed shaking/shivering like she was cold, all over her body. And it was terribly cold out that day, so we thought it was related. But then she couldn't stop after she didn't feel cold. The next morning when they hadn't gone away they sent us to the hospital. They were assuming she took some kind of drugs, even though she said she hadn't. All the tests came back negative so they told us they were "stress induced tremors". They last 4 days! That was several months ago now. Yesterday was the first I heard about the problems with Gardasil and was able to consider there may be a connection. I asked her if she ever felt shivers since that terrible time (I haven't told her about the Gardasil issue). She said she has had a few small periods of shivering since, she says, maybe lasting 10 minutes. I said just let me know if it happens again. I didn't tell her I am wondering if there could be this connection. This is completely terrifying!
I am now 27 years old, 5'11 and 150 lbs. I have recd all three shots and didn't think anything about it until I read all these blogs and reports that are now coming to light. I didn't have any other shot administered at the time of the gardisil shot. I didn't have any rection that I know of to the first shot. Sometime between the second and the third shot I began having ringing in my right ear and a feeling of something being stuck in it. I just assumed this was part of my sinus/allergy congestion but seven months later and after seeing an ENT (who says my ears are fine) I am still having that same feeling (thankfully not as often) and also my neck gland on the right side has been slightly swollen about that same amount of time.
Also, three weeks after my third shot I got extremely dizzy at work - so much so that it scared me and I went to the ER. Had a CAT scan and everything came back fine. Two days later had the same thing happen again only felt worse. Went to ER again and they just said they still thought it was an inner ear infection and sent me home with dizzy medication. Now that I think about it I had the shivers for a couple days after that too but thought that it was the dizzy meds they gave me. I never correlated this incident to the shot because i had no idea these types of things were happening as side effects, plus the fact that it had been three weeks since the shot and i hadn't had any itching, swelling, or any of the other common stuff. I too have had shaking/tremors (not sure how to explain them -- not seisures but just kind of jitters) like I was cold but even when I am not cold. My last shot was the end of december and i haven't seemed to have had any of the tremors/shaking since the end of may. I have suffered anxiety attacks before that involve involuntary shaking and this is not the same feeling. If I had known about the possible side effects, I would have never gottent the shot.
A note to all of you:
I am praying for all of us because God can and does heal. This is not something that we were infromed of and we all thought we were doing the right thing by following the advice of our physicians (who I am also sure thought they were looking out for us due to their limited knowledge on this shot). God listens to our prayers, especially prayers in numbers. I think we should all pray for each other that there are no long term side effects and that He strengthens us all both physically, emotionally, and spiritually as we go through this together. I am an adult and made this choice for myself, but I pray for God to especially be with the parents that made the choice for their child because even though none of you should feel guilt, I am sure it plagues you. Love and prayers to all of you!
I just read some more of the comments and also wanted everyone to know that I feel like my vision has gotten worse. I actually went to the eye docotro too and he pretty much said that my eyes hadn't really gotten any worse and that I just needed to wear my glasses more.
Ohh ! Again this stupid pretext of glasses! Sometimes doctors say that victims of gardasil have to wear glasses and when wear glasses yet, then they say that victimes have to clean it up!!!!
Medical doctors should be ashamed of such attitud!
That makes me so angry to read such thing you can not imagine !!
my daughter is 18. Her 1st inj. of
Gardisil was 8/07. She hasn't "felt well" since. She did have soreness at injection site, felt sick the day after. She has had swollen glands, tonsilitis several times, headaches, eye problems, times of irregular heartbeats, severe abdominal pain, and chronic fatigue. She ended up with mono, and has since had tonsils and adenoids removed due to repeat infections. She is being treated for constipation/diarrhea and severe abdominal pain that drops her for at least a day at a time. The GI specialist thinks it is related to her severe case of mono, but I'm wondering if it is all related to Gardisil. Her severe abd. pain and constipation did not start until the end of Feb. 08 about 1 week after the 3rd inj. of Gardisil. She turned 18 in April. She has missed most of her senior year and for a teenager that was healthy and running the roads prior to last fall, she is now tired all the time, and is home with me almost constantly. This is not normal for a teenager. If anyone else has experienced these symptoms, please email me at iluvbrs83@aol.com
Please take 5 minutes to watch this video.
Thank you.

Unfortunitly I have another update. I have written before about my 14 year old daughter. 16 days after her second shot she started having seizures. That was January. We just tried to take her off the anti-seizure medicine and 3 weeks later she had another seizure and fell off the top bunk bed. Luckly she only has some scratches and a black eye. Once again, there is nothing on her CT. I am glad that these adverse reactions are starting to come out in the news. Maybe we can get some answers sooner.
please report all adverse or possible adverse reactions to VAERS. There is a form online parents, patients or doctors can fill out to report to FDA. The reason they haven't done anything is because they look at statistics and everyone who has adverse reactions are not reporting it on this form.
You can go to the FDA website for the form.
i am so shocked after all these symptoms and signs of problems with gardisil. i have only had one shot so far in the series and i had a very weird side effect just like another girl i read about on these blogs. I got VERY dizzy at work. i temperary lost the color in my face i couldn't hear and my vision was blurry. i left work early due to the side effects but since no one has ever heard of the shot having side effects my boss thought i was "fakeing it" i feel very strongly that these side effects were leading to a seizure. i will not be getting my next to shots NO WAY. I feel the doctors are overlooking these side effects for the money and putting people like me and you at risk
My daughter who is 18 has had 2 doses.. she did not have the problems I'm reading about, but did mention last week that her periods were weird..she said this last one never really got started and that she had that dark brown discharge for weeks. She asked about going to the GYN, but it has since cleared up. Judging by what I'm reading, it may be related to the vaccine. I have definitely decided to cancel the last vaccine. I was, like many of the parents, unsure to begin with but 2 doctors convinced me to give it to her..I regret this..I should have listened to my gut about this..going forward now, it just makes sense to me not to risk more serious reactions..who knows what damage is going on already? We won't know for years the full effects
Now six months after the last shot, my daughter had her first pap smear and it came back abnormal. I would encourage anyone who is getting the shot to have a pap before and six months after to see if the shot had an effect on it.
Back to my 14 yr. old daughter who only had the first dose and has had a seizure, stomach pain, headaches, extreme fatique, and shortness of breath and fast pulse. After lots of tests the Dr. just wants to "wait and see" how it goes. Why can't someone look out for us and our daughters? We need an advocate for us -- I want someone held accountable. I want more testing but the Drs. are afraid to say what they really think so in the long run we suffer. I have cried every day since this happened and am watching my daughter in pain and it hurts. The billions of dollars Merck made off this vaccine they should help us out who are innocent victims. I am so mad. I wish I had my baby girl back who was active and could breath good and could run without having chest pains and who I didn't have to worry about when and if she is going to have another seizure. Please parents do not get this vaccine for your girl - it is too risky.
my friends freaking out bc she just got the vaccine..but can someone just reassure her and tell her that these seizures and fainting only happen to certain people?? she's 20 years old and shes a healthy girl so i dont think she should worry about it. she got it a couple days ago and so far all she has is "backne"
any help??
Are you trying to say that she has gotten acne???
There is not a set criteria for getting side effects from the vacine. We have not figured out why certain girls are reacting from the vacine. My daughter, Michelle, received her vacine 7/11/07 and she still is having problems. It's been one year now. If we knew what caused it, we would be able to help all these girls you are having so many problems.
I'm 20 years old, 5'2" and about 120 lbs. I got my 3rd HPV shot about a month ago. The other two gave me no side effects, and neither did the last one, until now. The past few days my arm has been exceptionally tender and sore around the injection site. It took me awhile to figure out that it was probably from the shot. There's no visible discoloration, but I'm going to keep an eye on it. I just have no idea what would cause it to be sore a MONTH after I got the vaccination, and out of the blue too.
Hi "Kamili",
I make personal research on the side effects of the transgenic vaccine Gardasil because being a victim of the hepatitis B vaccine, I feel very concernd by such situation. I suffer from thyroïd problems too, caused by the vaccine Engerix B of GSK, I had not my period during one year too following that.
So, could you please say to me what kind of thyroïd problems does affect your daughter?
Is it hypothyroïdism or hyperthyroïdism?
What is the labs results? TSH? T4? T3? specific antibodies?
How many times after the vaccination (and after wich dose?) was the thyroïd problems diagnosed?
Wich kind of symptom did your daughter felt as consequence of this problem of thyroïd?
Strange feeling (like shooting pains) in the front of the neck?
When were the 3 doses realized (in months and year)? And how many times after wich dose begon this absence of normal period?
Did or does your daughter take an oral contraception?
Does she smoke?
I think to help her to take her normal periodic cicle back, it could be interesting for her to take the specific antidote of gardasil.
In homeopathy, it is called "isopathic". In an homeopathic drugstore, you have to order 2 antidotes of the same product (isopathic of Gardasil ) but at 2 differents dilutions. A dilution of 200K and also a dilution of 1000K. First taking the 200K dilution and then one to 2 weeks after taking this of 1000K. Such product is absolutely harmless. It could be taken first of all in the morning at leats 30 min before eating anything. Not taking this too soon after a teeth brush because the menthol derivates cause interference with the assimilation of homeopathic medication.
Your daughter has also interest to take 1 tablet of Acerola each day (not during the meals) that is natural ascorbic acid (= vitamine C) wich is very different than synthetic vitamine C. One month of cure is a good timing for that.
After having taken specific antidotes, your daughter can take one dose of FOLLICULINUM 15 CH (= homeopathic medication too) 2 times a month (2 sunday in the month for example) untill her normal period is coming back.
So, I hope having be at least a little bit helpfull. Cordially.
PS: Kamili, I tried to send you a mail but it failed.
My daughter had the 1st shot on 5/28/08 and has not been herself since. I posted to this blog 6 weeks ago regarding her fainting, headaches, diiziness, blurred vision and numerous trips to the er and doctors office all to no avail. I live in the Boston area(health magnet of some of the best) and our local tv station is doing a segment on tv Thurs nite entitles "Is Gardisil Really Safe"?. I wrote to the health reporter and was sent a reply from the special project executive producer that I believe means they will be talking about the benefits just as much as the risks!!!!!!!!!!!! We are POWER IN NUMBERS, that is our only recourse right now to help our daughters. Please send a brief email of your NEGATIVE Gardisil experience to
www.wbztv.com to Robert Dumas and Dr Mallika Marshall and LETS GET THE REAL TRUTH OUT about this horrible, too little tested, get rich quich scheme vaccine.
My 14 year old daughter has been suffering from the negative effects of Gardasil since October 16, 2007. She has not been the same since that day. Chronic knee pain, numbness and tingling on the left side of her head and left arm (same arm she received the shot in, dizziness when she stands up, hindered short term memory, etc. The Phoenix Fox News did a story on her and the vaccine...is it really safe? You may want to take a look at how they reported both sides of the story. http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/myfox/pages/ContentDetail?contentId=6471432
For some reason that link to the Pheonix Fox News story didn't work. Here is another link to try. It is a story under the section "Only On Fox" http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=DE126BBD31A2249460CBF64BAAA484F1?contentId=6471432&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1
Hi, I also prupose to all of you to send a mail to the realisator Michael Moore because I really think it is very logical and important that after Sicko, he talks about the hell of the victimes of vaccines!!!!!
I have already asked to him to make a documentary about it and an other person of this forum has done the same yet.
His mail is: mike@michaelmoore.com
Ifyou think as me that such initiative could contribute to a better information trough alerting people about the true risks of such product so, do not hesitate to e-mail him!
Bye
Keellee, I also have a daughter that received the vaccine. We also live in Phoenix. I would really like to talk to you. Her name is Michelle and we have posted a few times on this site. She received her vaccine on 7/11/08 and has been extremely sick since then. If you email me I will give you my phone number. I am in the process of also contacting CBS. Thanks, Cindy

Hey everyone,
I've been posting to this site for about a month or so with my issues. However, yesterday something very very strange started happening in addition to all the other things I've been struggling with. I had never experienced this until yesterday and it freaked me out quite frankly.
All day yesterday (and some today) my eyes were burning/itching a little and I kept seeing something in my peripheral kind of fly around. There was nothing there. My vision has been kind of blurred except for what I am directly focusing on. My head has been tense feeling and kind of heavy. I tilted my head a little while watching my professor walk around the room during lecture and when I did, the hearing in my left ear completely died for about 30 seconds. I didn't think much of the vision and hearing thing, just struck me as weird.
Then I was going to bed last night and laid down. As soon as I laid down my entire body starting tinging really really bad, especially in my arms and hands. I felt like something bad was about to happen, like maybe a heart attack or seizure. I started to panic a little and tried to calm myself down. Every time I opened my eyes the vision was blurred again. After a few minutes of deep breathing I was able to shake it off and nothing else happened. Immediately I got online and sent my mom a message for the morning to check on me first thing in the morning, because with all the experiences I have been reading about this vaccine I wouldn't have been surprised if I died in my sleep or something weird happened. I was that scared. Also, I just wanted to be sure someone knew what happened because this summer I am at college in an apartment by myself with no one I know around.
So all was fine in the morning. Then I was in class again. I was sitting Indian style in my computer chair during lecture, which is nothing unusual for me. I hadn't been sitting like that for long and when I put my right leg down it had that "fell asleep" tingling, but it was so severe, my foot curled in to the side and I couldn't move it for probably 5 minutes. My focus was gone except on my leg. It is like my circulation has been sensitive to everything I am doing.
So then, after class I was on the phone with my husband and getting settled back in at the apartment. I kept seeing this spotted image with my right eye and it got worse and worse and bigger and bigger to the point I couldn't see out of my eye at all except the image. I started getting sharp pains in my head and had a migraine headache. I felt dizzy and nauseas and laying down didn't make it much better. I was sensitive to light. I had the headache for about 5 hours today.
Then I took a nap after the headache went away, because I have been very sleepy/tired for no reason. About an hour after I woke up and was sitting on the couch, I stood up and got dizzy and tingly for a few moments. Something is up with my circulation or something.
If anyone has any suggestions or knows whats going on with me, please help out.
Thanks!
Also, I forgot to mention that I kept feeling like yesterday something was crawling on me and I'd go to smack it or scratch it and there'd be nothing there. Isn't that strange??
I posted back in January. I, too, have noticed that my circulation has been VERY sensitive since getting the vaccine. Sometimes the tingling numbness in my limbs is so strong that it wakes me up when I'm sleeping. I have been extremely tired since the shot, though I used to have tons of energy, even as a busy student. I still get lightheaded/dizzy very easily. These are only a few of the changes I've experienced, and I believe Gardasil is responsible.

I posted on June 28, but I wanted to update everyone. I feel like my side effect is much more minor that most, but I know my body and this is not right.
My last period (which should have been July 3-7) was late. Now, by late, I mean two days. However, I want to stress that I have had my period for over 9 years now, and I have never been "late" and always have been 28 days apart. I knew I would start eventually, but about a week before my (late) period, I began experiencing abdominal cramps/pain. This is highly unusual for me, and the severe pain really surprised me.
There were even times when I just sat there counting and holding my abdomen.
I had found this Web site the day that I received my first shot. So, I knew what to look out for, and what types of problems all of you have reported on here. Anyway, I know this is linked. My period was normal, but late, and the cramps were horrendous. Now I am posting because I am about to have my period again in four days (supposed to be four days, but it might be late).
I am already beginning to start the cramping again. Last time I had my period, I stocked up on menstrual pain medication, because I knew it would be bad (and oh my gosh was it ever!) So, I have some pills left, but I will be buying more if I need to. I just think that this is important, because I occassionally would experience cramps near and during my period, but never of this magnitude. I will post soon again with an update.
My daughter received the HPV vaccine on 5/10/08. It was painful, but seemed ok after. By 5/20 she had a high fever and flu like symptoms, a few days later had a weak positive strep test and was put on an antibiotic. Fever returned a few days later. Since the first injection has had 2 fainting episodes and many feelings of lightheadedness. No seizure activity noted. The syncope episodes are being worked up now and her blood work shows some abnormal liver tests. She also has had a floater, the eye doctor didn't think it was a big idea. Also had a great deal of anxiety for about 6 weeks after injection. She will not be getting the additional test. We are from Michigan and several of her friends are also indicating they got sick after the injection (weeks later).
I am 26 years old and received my first shot on 6/11/08. The nurse asked me if i had a ride home, which i informed that i was driving myself... she suggested that i waited inthe waiting room for at least 15 minutes due to the fact soem some girls experience slight dizziness after their first shot.
I had no concerns. I sat in the waiting area for the 15 minutes and then went on my day. I had to take my kids to their dental appointments and practicly drive around town all day. The moment i picked my kids up (30 minutes after my appt) i got really light headed. I managed to get them to their appt. and while they were being seen i kept getting cold chills and felt like i was going to pass out. About an hour and a half after that i was back at home and was so dizzy/ lightheaded and had almost flu-like symptoms (sore achey body and chills) I laid down for about 3 hours and woke up with a slight head ache... I still have two more shots to go, but i'm afraid that the next two will get worste. And also since my shot i have had a really bad "acne" type breakout on my face- Ive never had any issues with acne before- but the weird thing is, its not really acne, it is kind of like a rash...
Oh and btw, i am 5'2" and weight 113. I am active and eat healthy with no allergies or ever any major medical problems.
What you are experiencing is a mild allergic reaction to the vaccine. I have seen it before. Answer me this question: Is there a family history of allergies? It could be anything as mild as dust or autism symptoms. Or did yu have any allergies when you were young?
I suggest you report all symptoms to your doctor so they can document it. My daughter's seizures didn't start until after the third shot (a month after the third shot). It has been nine months now since the last injection and she is still having seizures. The anti-seizure medicine the doctor wants her on is $440 / month. That is like a car payment. There are less expensive meds like dialantin that causes shrinking of the cerebellum and has side effects that lower her IQ (while she is in college she doesn't need this.)
Has anyone tried chelation therapy for this? My daughter wants to do this, but I have some reservations about it taking out the anti-seizure medication at the same time resulting in seizures during the process. Currently if she misses one dose of her seizure medication that she takes three times a day, she will start going into a seizure. If you have any knowledge or experience with this, please let me know.
My 17 year old has no known allergies. My sister (her Aunt) has allergies to dust mites and cats. My nephew has allergies to soy. EEG tomorrow - which hopefully will be negative. The work up continues - it is so hard to differentiate 17 year old eating habits and hydration from the effects of the vaccine.......
I have never heard of chelation therapy. what is that?
Curious,,have you had your daughters iron levels checked? My daughter has seizures after injection and also takes seizure meds. She takes lamictal. What does your daughter take?
Sally, Is anyone lactose intollerant or have a sensitivity to asprin. Also does your mother or father have allergies? I am finding out there is a connection to allergies. Sorry for all the questions. I am doing ongoing research into Gardasil.
Chelation theraphy is like a detox of the body from heavy metals. The Autism community is having success with bringing back their children with this. I would suggest that you put chelation and autism in your search engine and you will find out all kinds of information on this. Also, some of the girls that have been affected are detoxing and they are having good results.
Just a side note. Any one that is posting on this blog might want to check out Lets_Talk_about_Gardasil@yahoogroups.com
Things are hopin' and you should check out what they are doing. Many of you might want to participate.
Cynthia - Really appreciate your research efforts! I don't know of any family members that are lactose or asprin intolerante. I am not aware of any other family allergies (other than my sister and nephew) - my parents and my husbands partents don't have any allergies.
I posted about a year ago about what had happened when I recieved this vaccination.
we are not sure if this is related or not, but the other night I was hospitalized for severe abdominal pain, which we thought was appendicitis. however it turned out to apparently be an ovarian cyst that apparently ruptured. it has been about 10 months since i recieved my second dose. I never recieved the 3rd.
Hi,
I just seen your post of Ovarian Cyst that ruptured.My daughter had her 2nd and last shot in January 08 ,had three hospital stays and seizures and also found a very tiny Ovarian Cyst , that was not there 2 months prior.She now is having Obdominal pains on and off which she has never had much of but has an appointment with OBYGN in August.I am curious because of the time between the shots and before this Cyst ruptured on you was 10 months.Its only been 6 months, can you tell me if there were any other info you can share besides the pain? Did you have any abscent periods or longer heavy periods,ect?Anything you can share that my daughter could be aware of so incase this could be related the same with this shot?
Thanks for sharing.
okay i just got the shot today and its my first one i got it about 6 hours ago, it 14 about 5ft tall and i weight 79 pounds. and my arm hurts like crazy, i'm having trouble breathing, i feel dizzy and my head hurts like crazy, and the shot itself hurts like crazy.
please do not get this shot, its not worth the pain
Nicole - Please talk to your Mom about the way you are feeling and also show her this web page!
My daughter is 16 yrs old and on Feb 27, 2008 had her first HPV vaccine and the second one April 24, 08. On June 14-08 I heard my dog barking in the living room I went to see what he was barking at and I found my daughter lying on the carpet having a seizure. At the time this was happening I did not know she was having a seizure because she doesn't’t have a history of seizure problems. I thought my daughter was dying in my arms of course I dialed 911 and she was taken to the Emergency room. We have under gone several tests cat scan, eeg, MRI, spinal tap, blood work and currently seeing a neurologist. The test have came back all negative and now she has to take medicine for epilepsy. The first medicine the ER put her on was phenytoin sodium. Now she is taking Keppra., I had ask her primary doctor if there could be some connection to having taking the HPV vaccine her answer was that there has been no evidence or research to prove that the HPV vaccine can cause seizures. The doctor also said she probably has epilepsy. Wow this has been my daughter’S doctor since she was 5 yrs old. My daughter Sarah Breier is an outgoing teenager who has plans to graduate from high school and go on to a 4 year college. She is active in sports and plays the violin. I would definitely like to know why the medical field will not even consider that the HPV vaccine may have cause the complications.
I posted on 7/26 with an update on how painful my last period was. On Friday, August 1, I had a terrible pain at around 8:50 p.m. The pain lasted for 30 seconds and felt like an intense pressure on my lower right hand side (in my abdomen). I called my mom to see if she had ever felt a pain similar to this, thinking it may be related to my period (I happened to start on this day). My dad wanted to me to go in to the ER to check for appendicitis. So, I go in to the ER, mention I had the Gardasil shot, and get checked out. I had an ultrasound and they found an ovarian cyst on my left ovary. **I got the Gardasil shot on 6/26** I think that it is important to note... I was examined by my gyn the day I received the shot, and came out with a "normal" pap. I have never had an ovarian cyst before. My doctor did not believe the pain or cyst was related to the shot and that the pain was not related to the cyst. I will be seeing my gyn this week for a follow-up. I will see what she has to say about it, and update on here. Let me know if anyone has had a similar experience.
If your doctor would have read the package insert for the vaccine she/he would know that seizures are one of the side effects. One of the first things I would do is have a hair sample tested for aluminum or heavy metals. If the test is positive then I would find someone that would put her through a detox program. I am glad that you found this forum. Read the posts and get an idea of what is going on. You are not alone.
The girls that are doing through the detox are having positive results and are getting better.
My 2 daughters ages 9-99lbs. and 10-84 lbs. recieved their 1st HPV vaccine a week ago. They did not recieve any other vaccines that same day. My 10 yr old complaines of a heavy R arm, which typically are normal symptoms. After reading all these messages, I'm not sure about having them return for the 2nd. I wish I were informed of all the side effects before deciding to have my daughters get the vaccine. I felt like I was making a good choice for them, now I think otherwise. What have I done?

Maria, you had a good intention but you have been deceived by the pharmaceutical industry.
What it is very crucial now is that you fully realize that make them confident was a mistake.
In the future, pay attention to the damages of vaccinomanie and do not limit your reflexion on the dangers of gardasil alone because ALL vaccines are very toxic but the public is completely deceived about the benefits/risks ratio, again and again.
It is already happy that you became aware when it is not too late, you have made the right choice: ONE LESS but ONE LESS SHOT!!! no more poison, NO MORE GARDASIL....NEVER MORE GARDASIL FOR ANY GIRL BECAUSE NO GIRL AT ALL HAS TO PLAY THE GUINEA PIG!!
BE AWARE OF THE RISKS NOW!!!!
EVERYBODY!!!
I have been in contact by email and phone with Erin Brockovich.
Yes it is really her. She has been doing some research on the side effects and is interested in hearing your stories.
You can contact her at Erin@brockovich.com

Now my daughter went from normal periods to the worst ever. She only got the first shot and that was back in April. My Dr. did fill out a vaers form but put down "passed out" instead of having a siezure like she really did. I have been so guilt ridden over getting her this shot my health is way down too. We had a small business and were held accountable if we sold a defective item or did a repair that wasn't right we made it right. Now I have bill collectors putting me in the collection agency because of all the medical bills since my daughter got sick from the shot. this is so unfair. I look at how my daughter went from top athlete to tired and weak with many ailments and I cry.
Susan, I felt that way for a long time until I turned my guilt into anger and action. It will be a year next month since my daughter got her last shot and then started having seizures. She is still having seizures and taking anti-seizure medication daily. After going from neurologist to neurologist, I found an alternative medicine doctor who is treating my daughter, Jessica, for possible allergies to the ingredients of the vaccine. We are currently testing and treating the aluminum. The doctor is Kim Jones in Dallas, Texas. Her number is 214-546-4321. You can tell her Jenny referred you. She will know what to do.
Warts have never had a history of an acquired immunity. The virus is partially alive in vaccines because makers state the body has to learn how to kill the virus to develop an acquired immunity. The label lies stating the wart virus is dead, They are lieing about this are they lieing about the dormant stages of the wart and potential biological weapon. They come through the back door grants, clinics, donations, renovation projects, etc.....................................they influence the cut backs and sieze of the country, slowly gas plastic wetland projects citizens lobby..related to charles manson mother whom when out with a war stategist colonial. drugs influence is part of crippling the situation...they are mentially insane anything goes with these hidden well criminals..like a backstabber if they could replace you and they new they could they would do anything in their means replace.CDC
My 18 year old, healthy, athletic, outgoing daughter got her first shot on 03/25/08, her first seizure was 04/27/08. She got her second shot on 05/06/08 and has been having seizures every since. The doctors first diagnosed her with epilepsy, put her on Keppra, which made her moody and angry. MRI, EEG, etc. all came back normal. They did a video EEG and said these were non-epileptic seizures and caused from stress, go see a counselor. The counselor said no, put her back on anti-seizure meds. She's had continually stomach problems but it's hard to determine if it is from seizure meds, stress, etc. She continues to have seizures and we are trapped in between these doctors and none of them will listen to my concerns about the vaccine. I'm so frustrated.
Leslie.
We have had the same experience. If you would like to e-mail me direct we could talk a little more about medication. Keppra is NOT a well tolerated medication and we had the same experience with it.

I am ever so scared about having the hpv vaccine as i have heard so many bad incidents,please help me decide if i should have it or not
Don't get it Flossie, DON'T GET IT!
This is about YOUR health: GARDASIL is a huge russian roulet and each time you get a shot of it, each time you are playing your health at this awful game of "russian roulet". Drama doesn't always occur after the first shot alone and not always very soon after a shot, NO. You could experience disaster after the second or the third shot and sometimes getting an auto-immune disease many years after the vaccination!
Choose the pap smear only because that is a mathod that has been proven safe and useful. But don't get it a vaccine wich has more misavantages than benefits simply because it is "officialy recommanded"
If good health is something that seems important to you it is clear that you have to refuse such dangerous poison being injected into your body without any control of what it could happen after!
Take care of you Flossie!
For quite some time, I have hoped to get back and write a new post about the hpv vaccine. I think these are the facts and hope to do the research to confirm them:
(1) there are many strains of hpv
(2) a small number of the hpv strains have been correlated to cancer
(3) the vaccine is aimed at some or all of the cancer-correlated strains
(4) most people who get the vaccine don't have a reaction
(5) a small number of people who have been given the vaccine have had VERY serious problems
(6) there is a growing group of people who believe that the vaccine is the cause of the problems
(7) some (many?) of these problems are not being reported to VAERS, the official US government database for tracking vaccine related problems
(8) there has not been a scientific study to prove whether the serious problems are caused by the vaccine
(9) I suspect that because there has been no study to determine if there is a correlation between these serious problems and the vaccine, the companies are not required to list the problems as possibly related.
(10) Many common vaccines have proven severe adverse effects on a tiny percentage of the people who receive them. The US government has a trust fund to compensate people or their families for certain rare but severe effects. You can read about it at
the HHS website. The HPV vaccine is not on the list and I do not know if anyone has made a claim there.
If you would have a child get the vaccine thru having trust in your doctor and go though all the pain these children are going through maybe you would feel that the vaccine should be pulled off the market. No child should have to go through this. My dauthter had another major migraine headache last night. PLEASE do not get the vaccine. After over a year of continual pain, doctors appointments and medical bills you would wish that MERCK would pull it off the market and do testing. They should also let parents know of the side effects from the vaccine. Devistated parent.
Cindy -
If your comment was in response to mine, let me apologize. Reading the postings here and on the other related pages has been a heart-rending experience. For more than a year, I've been reading about the terrible experiences of girls, women, and their parents. I am personally very distressed by the suffering.
My comment above was intended to respond to several postings over the last month: the relationship between the many strains and the small number in the vaccine, the question about why so few health practitioners are aware of these more severe problems, etc. I also wanted to explain that the government and the drug companies appear to be differentiating between what people believe and what is scientifically proven. Just my suspicion (until I look it up), but I'm guessing that there will not be any mandatory government or manufacturer notice about the possible relationship between these terrible events and the vaccine unless or until someone does a scientifically vetted study or proves it in court.
Again, my heart goes out to every girl, woman, and parent who has suffered.
I'm 12 aqnd had my first jab two days ago. Fine at first, but within a few minutes I felt sick and dizzy. Nearly fainted quite a few times before I had t the school office and was sent home.
Then today, I couldn't see properly in my right eye and had a really bad headache. My arm is really hurting.
Our whole year 8 had the jab at the same time, a few people fainted and one was sick.
I got my vaccine today and my arm is really hurting I had a really bad headache about 5 minutes after the vaccine also I have this bad pain in my right shoulder bone.( I got the HPV in my right arm) I also got the HB vaccine too.
So what do I do about these sores please reply!!!!!
I had my first HPV jab on Thursday last week and I am completely fine. No-one in my school had any problems :D
I am glad that you have not had any immediate side-effects from the vaccine. Many of the girls did not have any reactions until anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months after the shot. We do not know exactly why the delay. Some girls did not have a reaction until after the second or third shot. I think it has something to do with the shock the system goes through everytime you receive a vaccination.
Once again, I am happy that you have not had any reactions.
Question: Do you have a family history of allergies of any kind?
I'm fourteen, and my weight category is thin. I am not allergic to anything. I got my 1st shot just two days ago and ever since I have been vaccinated, I have gone dizzy, sore, tired, cold and hot at the same time, and then caught a fever. I have trouble getting to sleep now and I keep feeling like I am going to faint. It's so strange!
I'm twelve and i had the second hpv injection yesterday. The first one was fine, nothing more than a prick but a while after my arm felt like it had a massive bruise and hurt when i lifted it past my head. However, my second one killed, i have never been stung by a bee or wasp but friend said it was as painful as that, i understand that these injections must be done to be healthy but i can't understand how the first one hurt so much less. Now my arm hurts when i move it and I'm dreading the next one. Oh and you asked for some other information so I'll list it below.
Age: 12
Weight: medium
Allergy's: Nothing
Reaction time: 1st one just a little temperature and ache, 2nd one more painful
Other vaccines: none.
Reaction: Fast temperature changes, painful arm and headache. I don't know if this means anything but i have also been quite tired.
Hope this helps.

Elizabeth,
I would suggest that you send your mom and dad to my website. The reason being is that you are having headaches and are tired. From my research those are not good signs with this vaccine. You are probably having a reaction. Just click on my name and it will get you there.

A. Harris,
Why don't you tell us the name of the magazine? Even the reporters that I have spoke with do that. I would not recommend that anyone communicate with you because you are being too sneaky in my opinion. I researched your name in regards to womens magazines and came up with nothing. I looked up your email handle and did not come up with anything in regards to a magazine. Come clean and tell us who you really are and the publication or back off and leave these people alone. They have been through enough and do not need someone like you to trying to exploit them.
Thank you.
Cynthia,
I can truly appreciate your concern for these women.
I am Ivirlei Brookes and I am the publisher and founder of The League Magazine based in Atlanta,GA.
Previously, my interns was given the assignment to locate women who were affected by the vaccine for an upcoming feature.
Usually, I do not allow them to post names and details on message boards based on the fact that would expose our upcoming plans for future editions. We are in no way trying to "exploit" anyone. We have a feature about the risks of the vaccine and are sincerely looking for women who wanted to speak out the vaccine to many of our readers who have no idea that there are any side effects they should be aware of.
Our magazine is online and can be read at

I have left this comment with my personal email in case you would like to contact me directly.
I apologize for any confusion.

My 20 year old daughter with no history of head trauma or seizures had the first HPV vaccine yesterday. She had a seizure within two hours of the vaccine while in her college class. She was taken by ambulance to the ER, and released later. The ER doc, my brother in law who is a pediatric neurologist, and the neurologist that she saw today all summarily dismissed the idea that it was related to the vaccine. What is wrong with these doctors? My daughter also takes Wellbutrin, which lowers the seizure threshold, but has taken it for 6 months without any problem. The seizure following the vaccine indicates that the vaccine is the most probable cause! She is scheduled to have a sleep deprivation EEG this week. I haven't expressed this to her, but I am concerned that her seizure may not be a single episode. Do most of the girls reporting seizures report it as a single incident? I am terrified for my daughter, and so angry at myself for not researching this ahead of time!
my 18 year old daughter has been having seizures since her third shot over which was one year ago. She continues to have seizures while taking antiseizure medication. She averages at least one seizure per month. It seems now her seizures happen around the time she has her monthly cycle.
Im 17, had the first HPV vaccine about 9 days ago and very nearly passed out this morning, painful headache, dizzyness and nausia. They go on about promoting it but wont tell you the side effects, and the things ive seen on here it should be made very clear!
Cynthia,
Sorry to hear your daughter is having this experience. Sorry to say my daughter started having seizures after the vaccine and is currently on medication to control seizure activity. She takes lamictal 2 x daily. All of her test were clear such as EEG, MRI CT scan. Only thing that was off was her ferratin(iron)level was lower than half of what the normal level. I also think there is a direct link to the vaccine.
I ama Crisis Care nurse that work for a Hospice. I care for many young women that die from the HPV. Being a nurse I figured that I would stay on top of things with my girls. However, my 13 year old received 2 doses. 2nd one in June. She did say that it was very painful and started to cry. NOW, when SHE cry it must have really hurted cause she's a tuff girl!!! Since then she complains of stomach cramps. Hoping that she's starting her period, it never come. Now she complaining of severe burning and blurred vision in her left eye and headaches. I took her to the Dr. for this and he related this to allergies and perscribed eye drops. I was sceptical about the 3rd dose and decided not to have it done. I know me. I will blame myself if something happends to her. She is a very healthy girl. Other than that she have not had any other side effects such as the ones that I have read other than the small lump in her right arm that never went away. My heart goes out to these girls as though they were mine. I will not reccomend this vaccine to anyone else and I know how important vaccinations are, but NOT THIS ONE!

slight/ medium
1st injection
collapsed, breathing difficulties, severe bruising, pain in the whole of injected arm, impaired vision and speech, unable to walk.
I posted on here several months ago about issues i've had since I took the Gardasil shots. It has been very frustrating with doctors who refuse to believe any symptoms are related to the vaccine. The last visit to the doctor was with a temp doctor that asked me an interesting question I had never been asked before: "Do you have a history of asthma in your family?"...uhm, my father and sister both have asthma, but I've never been asked or thought of as having asthma. Also, I now stay sick in one way or another, like my body is attacking itself or else having serious trouble fighting infection. 3 weeks ago I had a kidney infection, now i have laryngitis and a severe cold. I get little red bumps on my hands, arms, and feet, and my glands on my neck swell and my shoulders get tense everytime I'm trying to fight something off. It's really interfering with my life. I've also had burning/itching eyes every now and then among the tons of other symptoms I've had with fainting and such. I am not sure if I was just fainting or actually having a seizure--I was tingling all over and not conscious of anything going on. My eyes rolled back in my head and I got clammy and sweaty. I still hurt and itch at the shot site on one of my arms where I got the shot at random times, but I got the shots over a year ago. It has been a pain in the butt trying to see an endocrinologist to see if I have auto-immune problems, because the PA's and family docs keep wanting to treat the symptoms with drugs. I want to know whats causing my body to go haywire. Moreso lately than ever I've noticed it is difficult to breathe. I haven't had any energy to amount to anything ever since the shots, either. Some days it's hard to even get out of bed. If it weren't for a busy schedule I probably wouldn't. The last doctor (the temp) that I saw wanted to say I was depressed, but I know that I am not--I am just tired of being sick and not being able to live my life. Oh yeah, and I've had weight gain issues ever since too. I maintained my weight for over 10 years and all of a sudden I gained over 35 pounds since these shots. I know my body is flipping out and I need some help on figuring out what's going on. I need a doctor that is willing to do tests on me other than basic blood panels. Btw, I don't know if it's related or what it means, but my red blood count platelet is high. All I've been told this means is it has something to do with clotting?? Anyway!!! help!! :c(
I recived the 1st Gardasil shot this morning adn fainted right away. I woke up 1-2 minutes later but still feel weak. I am not sure wether or not I should get the other 2 shots
MK, these chots are poison, going on with it it's just madness, putting your health on a russinal roulette.... Pfffffffffffffff!
If you knowed what compounds are exactly in this vaccine, you would surely never begin with it!
Pay really attention to you and your health because in most of the case of very serious accident , victims have neglected some signs of alarm like fainting or others....
Take care of you!
OMG I feel so sorry for you, I feel the same I fainted about 5 mins after and I've been collapsing ever since, my mum is even watching me on the toilet to make sure I'm okay!!!!
But you're right the doctors asked if I'd ever fainted before and i haven't but I had the jab yesterday morning and I'm still being sick, fainting, randomly collapsing and my injected arm feels like it's gonna fall of!
And so far since the start of people in England having the jab 170 people have died because of the jab!!!
Not good please be careful!!!!!!!!!!
Danielle xx
If you fainted the 1st time, what do you want to happen the 2nd and then the 3rd time! FORGET IT. It's not worth it. IF OR WHEN YOU YOU DECIDE TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE JUST PROTECT YOURSELF. Nothing is guaranteed. DONT FINISH THE SERIES.
Danielle,
Was there a news report or something that stated 170 people have died because of the shot? Could you send me the link via my website. http://www.cynthiajanak.com This is important information that needs to get to the public.
Hello all. I posted my comment about my HPV Vaccine reaction back in July (08)....I just wanted to stop back by and update my situation. It was a year last month since I had my one and ONLY HPV shot...and things have not changed...but, Thank God, have not gotten any worse either. I still break out in itchy burning hives when I sweat and I still have to take an allergy medication every single day. I still feel tried alll the time, it doesn't matter how much I sleep..and I still feel as if my heart is not beating as it should. I'm making a doctors apt to test levels of metals and whatnot in my body and I'm going to ask about a detox cleansing. I just can't live my life like this anymore. I regret EVERY DAY that I ever got this vaccine. I just heard "cancer vaccine" and went for it. These doctors need to do more research and explain this vaccine more...that's the least they could do if they are not going to discontinue it. I still just can't believe what has happened to me and everyone else. Best wishes to you all who have had this horrible vaccine and to the parents of the girls who have had this vaccine...do not beat yourselves up, it is NOT your fault that you believed it to be for the better...the deceivers like Merck, the doctors, and the FDA are to blame!
I'll be back if I come across anything relevant.
Take care!!!!
I received the Gardasil shot back in August and about 2 wks later I started to feel horrible. It started off as a headache and eventually ended in a fever with cold sweats in the night and weakness in my walking. I couldn't eat for anything ... Im 21 years old and have NEVER seen myself be this way. I know it was probably a result of the shot and I have decided to discontinue the next 2 shots. It is not worth it. Doctors are quick to recommend this and I don't feel they have researched all the facts.
Ashley, I am glad you started this. I have been joining as many forums as I can ever since I found out about Gardasil. I was told two days ago by my doctor that I do have the HPV virus. She told me it is not cancer but I should go in to the obgyn and after they check me, I should get the shot I did not want to take over the summer. I am 23 and I have always been healthy and compared to most people my age, I am usually paranoid and always skeptical of needles and new drugs. Last night I Googled this vaccine and broke down when uncovering all this evidence. What upset me the most is that I told my doctor that I heard rumors going around about Gardasil not being tested for a long period of time and I was also concerned when I found out it is created by the same man who made VIOX. She told me that there are side effects to everything but that it is important that I get the shot to prevent my "high risk" level test to become cancer. I also read that what I have usually goes away on its own due to a strong immune system or other antibiotics.
I am worried about Friday because I don't know what I am going to hear and I don't know if I should let them scrape my uterus but I know for CERTAIN that when my gynecologist (my first time going to this person) asks me or suggests the shot, I will not know how to react. Of course I will say no but this makes me so angry and paranoid that DOCTORS are recommending and trying to push this vaccine.
All I know is I can't trust anyone but myself. If did not reserch or took the time to read what caring people like you are writing, I would have been ONE MORE VICTIM.
THIS MAKES ME WOUNDER WHATS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY. ARE WE GIVING AUTHORITY TO THE WRONG PEOPLE?

PLEASE LET THEM GET THE JAB. THERE IS A TINY CHANCE SOMMETHING WILL HAPPEN AND IF YOU KNEW WHAT CANCER WAS LIKE YOU WOULD LET THEM GET THE JAB! EVERYONE IN MY SCHOOL HAD IT AND WAS FINE! IF YOU WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR UR DAUGHTER, YOU WOULD LET THEM HAVE THE JAB!
I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH CAROL.
IT IS NOT BECAUSE THE LABS PRETEND THESE VACCINES COULD AVOID 70% OF CERVICAL CANCER THAT IS IT THE TRUTH! ABSOLUTELY NOT OF COURSE!
FIRSTABLE MANY SCIENTIFICS HAVE PROVEN THAT THE EFFICIENCE OF THESE VACCINES WAS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE PREVALENCE OF HPV STRAINS 16 AND 18 IN THE US WAS ONLY OF 2,3% WHAT MEANS THAT THESE STRAINS ARE ONLY INVOLVED IN 2,3% OF ALL CONTAMINATIONS WITH HPV!
WHEN A WOMAN IS INFECTED THERE IS 90% CHANCE THAT SHE WILL CURE OF IT ON HER OWN AND WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT NEEDED. CERVICAL CANCER IS NOT THE SAME THING THAT BANAL DYSPLASIA. IF DYSPLASIA COULD OCCURE AFTER ABOUT 10% OF HPV CONTAMINATIONS WITH CALLED "AT HIGH RISKS STRAINS" (HPV 16, 18 BUT ALSO A TENTH OF OTHERS STRAINS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THESE VACCINES!!), LASER AND CONISATION WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND CURE IT AT ALL IN A BIG MAJORITY OF THE CASES, ALMOST 100% ACTUALLY.
SO MAKING BELIEVE THAT BEING INFECTED WITH HPV AND EVEN HAVING A CERVICAL DYSPLASIA IS THE SAME THING THAT HAVING A TRUE CANCER (WITH DIFFERENT TREATMENT NEEDED!) IS SOMETHING VERY DISHONNEST BUT MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE ARE NOT DISHONNEST, THEY SIMPLY DON'T KNOW.
THE TRUE CASES OF CERVICAL CANCER ARE FOR 2/3 FEMALES WHO HAVE NOT BENEFITED OF REGULAR AND HAVE ALSO ACCUMATED A LOT OF RISK FACTORS LIKE TOBACO, HORMONAL CONTRACEPTION FOR A LONG TIME, STRESS, BAD FOOD, HAVING A LOT OF SEX RELATIONS WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION, WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM BY POLLUTION AND VACCINOMANIA WICH OF COURSE IS A VERY NEGATIVE SYSTEM FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
CERVICAL SCREENING IS SUFFICIENT TO REDUCE THE RATE OF CERVICAL CANCER WITHOUT ANY RISK AND IN AGREEMENT WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD SENSE "FIRST DO NOT HARM" (primum non nocere of Hipocrate, remember...)
BUT THESE INEFFICIENT AND USELESS VACCINES ARE ALSO VERY DANGEROUS AND THAT IS VERY SERIOUS AND SCANDALOUS. THIS WAS ALREADY UNACCEPTABLE THAT GIRLS PLAYED THE GUINEA PIGS WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THAT BUT THAT THEY RISK THEIR LIFE IS CRIMINAL! DEATHS, PARALYSIS, EPILEPSY, PANCREATITIS, BLOOD CLOT AND OTHER THROMBOSIS, ETC ETC
THAT ARE VERY MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT A LITTLE DYSPLASIA!
BECAUSE- AND YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WELL INFORMED CAROL!- EVEN IF FOR THE MOMENT YOU SAY BEING FINE, DRAMA COULD ALWAYS OCCURE, IN THE FUTURE....
INDEED EVEN THE MANUFACTURER HAS ADMITTED IN THE NOTICE THAN VERY SERIOUS AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE COULD ALWAYS HAPPEN UNTILL 4 YEARS AFTER THE VACCINTION.
AND THEN WHO WILL BE ABLE YET TO MAKE THE CONNEXION WITH ILLNESSES AND THESE VACCINES? CERTAINLY NOT MISUNFORMED WOMEN LIKE YOU WHO WERE QUICKLY VACCINATED AT SCHOOL!
SO, IN CONCLUSION: IF YOU WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR DAUGHTER AS FOR YOURSELF (IF YOU IS A TEEN), YOU CERTAINLY NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THIS POISONOUS SHOT, NEVER!
AND FOR THE LOVE AND RESPECT OF ALL THE WOMEN YOU KNOW, YOU INFORM THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OF THESE FACTS FOLLOWING WICH THESES HPV VACCINES ARE USELESS BUT WORSE, VERY DANGEROUS! AND YOU EXPLAIN TO THE WOMEN YOU KNOW THAT:
1°) IF THEY HAVE BEEN ALREADY COMPLETELY VACCINATED, LET THEM KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT THE VACCINE TOXICITY SO THAT IF THEY BECOME ILL EVEN MANY YEARS AFTER THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CONNEXION AND HAVING THE POSSIBILITY TO SUIT THE MANUFACTURER IN COURT.
2°) IF THE WOMEN HAVE NOT BEGON THIS HORRIBLE VACCINATION YET, IT IS CAPITAL FOR THEIR PERSONNAL SAFETY THAT THEY REFUSE ANY SHOT AND THAT THEY NEVER BEGIN THIS MADNESS THEY COULD HIGHLY REGRET!
3°) IF THE WOMEN YOU KNOW HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE OR 2 OF THE 3 SHOTS, IT IS CRUCIAL (AND COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE!) THAT YOU EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THEY ALWAYS COUL STOP IT BEFORE THE END AND THIS IS WELL PREFERABLE IN FACT FOR THEIR THEIR HEALTH!
EVEN IF THESE WOMEN DON'T HAVE SIDES EFFECTS YET IT IS WELL BETTER TO STOP THE RUSSIAN ROULET THERE AND NOT CARRYING ON WITH IT WITH A LOT OF DRAMATIC CONSEQUENCES POSSIBLES!!!!!!!!
BE AWARE! AND INFOR ALL THE WOMEN YOU KNOW. SIMPLY BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, WOMEN COULD DIE!
YOU AND YOURSELF ALONE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL POWER TO SAVE LIFES, NOT WITH FALSE BUT VERY LUCRATIVE MEANS OFFICIALLY CALLED "PREVENTION" BUT WITH INFORMATION. INDEPENDENT INFORMATION. BIG PHARMA IS EVERYWHERE "INFORMING" ALL THE AUTORITHIES, THE PHYSICIANS, THE MEDIA ETC. YOU AS AS SIMPLY CITIZEN YOU COULD TAKE ACTION AND AVOID THEM TO TAKE ALL THE POWER IT REMAINS TO MAKE A LOT OF PROFIT EVEN IF IT STEEL LIFES!
SAY NO NO AND NO. WE HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE FOR OURSELFES AND ALSO TO INFORM THE PEOPLE WE KNOW.
ALL TOGHETER FOR OUR HEALT AND THIS OF PEOPLE WE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carol,
I have seen posts like yours before on other blogs and it saddens me to think that you would actually believe that the vaccine is safe.
You say that all the girls in your school are fine. Okay, how long ago did they have the shot? How many of them have had flu like symptoms? How many of them have been diagnosed with an autoimmune system disorder? How many of them are now complaining of painful periods? How many of them are complaining about mild muscle pain? How many girls have had their period stop for no reason?
The questions can go on and on because these are only a few of the diagnosis these girls are receiving.
The other thing is that you do not know every girl in your school unless it is a very, very small school.
Dr. Harper who was the lead scientist for Merck with Gardasil even states that to mandate this vaccine would make our girls a public health experiment and that all the side-effects are not yet known.
Have not the teachers in your school taught you how to research? Do you take everything that is told to you in blind faith?
To question is a sign of intelligence and with knowledge comes power over your own destiny. Think, question, research, think and come to your own conclusions as to whether this vaccine is safe.
I have been researching this vaccine since Feb. of 2007 and it is not what you think it is. Go to my website and find the truth.
www. cynthiajanak .com/ Gardasil
Use your intellect and always search for the truth. It is out there. You just need to find it. Make your decision based on knowledge and not what you saw on television or by one person's word. It is your life and you must treasure it with all your strength with knowledge.
I posted on this website some time ago, back in March of 2008. I can't believe the ignorance of some people to actually believe that this is a good thing. This vaccination is absolutely dangerous. As far as doctors go, I have went to 3 different GYN's and not all recommend this vaccine. Only the ones that do not care and want to make a profit at women's expense. One less is garbage. Either way you must receive a pap regularly. This will help keep track of your health and play a huge part in finding cervical anything. I was 32 when my doctor recommended I have the shot. You do know that insurance companies do not cover these shots if you are over the age of 27. Why would my doctor recommend this to me when I was completely over the age of ever testing.. They have no idea what it does to women between the ages of 9-27, and she recommended this shot to me. But I did not do the research before having the first shot, and I feel like a complete idiot for not doing so. Automatically you think that the doctor is giving you sufficient advice. That's Garbage!!! I feel today that the medical industry is all about making a profit. I had the first shot and I felt most of these complications. I did not have seizures, however I did experience muscle pain, headaches, blury vision, and I also broke out with these huge pimples all over my back, shoulders, neck, and face. They hurt so bad I couldn't sleep on my back most nights. I had one shot and never received the last two. I have now found a GYN that actually doesn't push Gardisil... This doctor I love and have been seeing him since that shot. I have pap smears every 3 months because I was diagnosed with HPV. Pap are necessary regardless if you have these injections or not. It took a good six months before I got rid of the pimples. Also, the muscle pain comes and goes but at least it is not as bad as the first 4 months of having the first injection. I am now able to do pyshical ativities again. I think I finally got it out of my system but you never know what long term effects will come about in the future. I feel horrible for the younger ladies experiencing much worse side effects. I have told everyone I know about the Gardesil shots.. It's complete B.S. and if you feel in your gutt that it's wrong do not do it.... Because your gutt is right with most things. Knowledge is power and research is key...
God bless you all and I hope everyone pulls through from these terrible side effects.
Kirsty, I am so sorry you had to go through all that. The best thing you can do is have your parents go to my website to the page Gardasil. I have a lot of information for them to read. What you had was a mild allergic reaction to the shot. You should not get the second one.
Here is my website address
http://www.cynthiajanak.com/Gardasil.html
Kirsty,
Since you are 12, I want to remind you that we are all strangers to you and none of us can or should tell you what to do.
Remember, almost no one writing on this website is a medical or science professional. Cynthia's comment about you having an allergic reaction appears to be a guess; even doctors generally won't attempt to diagnose people over the web with so little information.
What we are is a group of people who have come together to share experiences, concerns, and opinions. Many people have received the shot and not reported any side effects. But, others have had terrible, serious problems afterward and believe the shot is the cause.
The internet can be a good place to learn. Cynthia's comment that the "best thing" you can do is look at her website is an opinion. Her site is one of many places you can go to find links to official reports. And, her site is a place where you can read about her research and her opinions and conclusions about what she found. There are other sites, too, covering a broad range of fact and opinion.
As I said, no one should tell you what to do. Decisions which could impact the rest of your life should be made with your parents. This is a hard question. In the end, as Cynthia says on her website, you'll need to "make your own decision".
Wishing you the best, -k
I disagree with you K... I have researched for over a year and a half and I give the facts with links to what I reference. It is a good place to start. Yes, I do put my opinions but it is a good place for her parents to get a lot of information in one place. I have 22 articles dating from Feb of 2007.
K Krasnow Waterman
JUST REMEMBER!! the doctors are not telling you all the truth. They do not know all the reprocussions from the vaccine. If you would have a child that went through all the pain and suffering that I have had to deal with, you would hope that parents and teenagers would listen. Sincerely, Cindy Cihy
Cindy -
I think we are in agreement. Some truly horrible things have happened to young women after they have been given the vaccine. They and their parents (and others) believe the vaccine is the cause, but many in the medical industry do not agree and will not listen to them.
Based on the comments to this blog, I'd also agree with you that many doctors are still unaware that there is a debate about the side effects of the vaccine.
We both want as many people as possible to be informed that there is a debate and that people who received the vaccine and had horrible experiences believe the vaccine (or the vaccine in combination with another factor) is the cause.
I hope that reporting to VAERS and increased news reporting will cause resources to be dedicated to figure out exactly what is happening.
In the meantime, my heart goes out to every person who is suffering.
(Age 26, body type:medium) I received my first shot back in January/February 2008. The first shot was administered in the buttocks area (as suggested by my actual doctor) in which I was perfectly fine and no delay in being able to go to work right after my appointment. My 2nd shot was administered in my right arm and immediately after the shot I was not able to raise my arm above shoulder length. I discovered this while trying to reach for my purse, the NP (who gave me the 2nd shot) never told or said I may have a bit of a delay in arm movement. I did have to experience that on my own. I figured being that it was just administered to me that I should wait. After like 3 minutes I was perfectly fine and was able to drive to work and no delays in going about my day. I am due for my 3rd shot in which I feel confident to have based on my experience with the first 2 shots. Being that the shot was given to me in two different areas I would suggest the buttocks area over injection in the arm. I do not take any other medications and I did not have any other shots given to me while having these issued to me. Based on me reviewing some of the previous messages, these girls are really young and appear to be of a lighter weight than I. I believe that determines a lot about how their bodies will react to these shots. Plus at the moment I do not have reactions to medications that I am aware of. I really cannot say anything bad about it since I have been able to get around as normal within 5 minutes of the shot being administered to me. I agree if you are passing out and random changes to your body are happening I would suggest not to get the 3rd shot. Hopefully if there are any improvements that need to be made these young girls that are in their early teens will have the opportunity to address it again in the future since the age limit is 26. I can honestly say if I did have a daughter I would hold off on her getting these shots if there is a greater amount of young ladies who are having not so successful stories to tell. I learned about this website based on watching the News report and visiting their website about teens and their reactions to this. Thank you MYFOXLA.COM!!!
My daughter had her first shot in june 2008and has had ongoing headaches since then. She had her second shot in August. we just learned a couple of weeks that she has a 50% hearing loss on her left ear that came out of no where. She had perfect hearing about a year ago. Has anyone else experienced this.
Ana,
Yes, my hearing has been TERRIBLE lately. I am always having to ask people to repeat what they said because I didn't hear them the first time. I often have to turn my head a little to catch things I would normally hear just fine.
Marie,
I am 23, 5'3, 225lbs (I was 195-205 before shots last year). I have gained 20-30 pounds since the shot, but your theory of the girls being younger/lighter cannot be the
reason for their reactions, because I have had probably a dozen issues since the shots, including fainting, nausea, severe hives/rashes, sensitive eyes to light, weight gain, severe fatigue, achey/flu-like symptoms, I'm constantly fighting colds/sickness, random sharp lower abdomenal/internal vaginal/anal pain, etc. Before the shots last year I was perfectly healthy with no complaints. I have also only had one partner and we've been together for 8 years and are married. I have always been heavier, as it runs in my family and we are busty. I just wanted to let you know from experience that it isn't just the little girls that are being affected.
A.Moore i only based my opinion on the issue as everyone else has done. As of me i have not had any weight gain or any changes to my body since i have had the shots and i am greatful for that, being that i would not care to deal with so many various issues as they exists for others. Plus the girls that i saw on the news were also younger and of a smaller stature. Glad to see someone of a larger stature commenting; for a bulk of the comments that i selectively read were from females whom did not weigh as much as I. I am glad to see your input and i still plan to have my 3rd shot. i will definitely come back and comment if there were any changes the 3rd time around. Have a wonderful Holiday and Enjoy!
My daughter just had her third shot today. Right away her entire arm was in severe pain. Then she got a rash and itching. Her fingers are tingling. All these symptoms still, after 9 hours. Looking back over the last few months since her first shot, she has had very frequent, severe headaches (a first for her), stomache pains and periods every 2 weeks. Our pediatritian strongly encouraged this series of vaccines. I will definitely NOT have my younger daughter get these shots. As a mom, I felt so glad to be "taking care" of getting these vaccines. Now, I'm just sick about it. I don't want to alarm my daughter, who is 15, but I am very concerned about her.
Melanie, You are one of the lucky ones in that you have recognized that there is an issue. My suggestion is that you find yourself a doctor or chiropractor that does detox before her symptoms get worse because sometimes they do. You need to get the aluminum out of her system for starters. Someone well versed will give you all the particulars. You and your family will be in my prayers.
My daughter continues to have problems from the shot. She only had the first shot and she is a big girl almost 6ft tall and 190 pds. she was 14 when she got the shot. The latest test the Dr. did was a blood test for aluminum as he said they did not do hair tests. This is a big hospital too. He did finally agree to fill out a vaers report. He said he wished I would let him put her on antidepressants. She is just sad to be going thru all the pain and wondering if she will have a seizure at school or be suddenly unable to breathe. I hope she gets better.
Im 16yrs old and i just got my first HPV shot today along with my 12 yr old sister. She has had a headache but i have had no side effects besides the buring of the shot at first. I am 5ft 4in and 154lbs and my sis is 4ft9in and 68lbs are our different ages or weights effectiong anything??
Cassie, I am sorry that your sister is getting the headaches. Many of the girls have gotten migranes after the shots besides other side effects.
To answer your question about weight. There is a good possibility that the onset of symptoms was quicker for your sister becasue of the differences in your body mass scale. We have found that out but girls still become affected with side effects and it does not matter their size. I would suggest that you watch your sister and if she starts to experience nausea, loss of appetite and cramping she should see her doctor right away because she is having a reaction to the shot. I do not want to scare you or anything I just want you to be aware. Keep us informed how you and your sister are doing.
It's very scary to hear all of these stories! I wish I had researched online before I got my shots. I have had all three of my Gardasil shots. I had the first one almost a year ago, and the third about 5 months ago. I havent experienced any side effects (knock on wood!)
I am a 23-year-old female in good general health. Does anyone know if these side effects occur RIGHT after the shot, or if they could show up months, or even a year later?
I agree with you Marjie that reading all the stories are scary because I feel the same way when I think about the day that my grand daughter will be faced with that shot.
I am happy to say though that it is a good sign that you have not had any reactions to the shots. Odds are that you will not. But I am going to say that this vaccine is very new and the long term effects are not known so just be vigilant to any changes but do not let it affect your life. Enjoy and have fun.
Marjie, you have to know that even the manufacturer of Gardasil has admitted that severe side effects like auto-immune diseases could still occure 4 years after the shots!
Be carefull as Cynthia Janak said because if you and other vaccinated girls don't ever make the connexion, it will be great for the labs but not for public's health!
My daughter is 17. After the first shot she experienced severe muscle pain in her arm that she hadn't experienced with other shots. This lasted about 24 hours. Two months later she received the second shot. She didn't receive any immediate side effects. However, a few weeks later she had a really bad headache, which is unusual for her. The next morning, she woke up fine, but in school she experienced nausea and broke out into a cold sweat. She had her teacher escort her to the nurse and on the way she felt extremely dizzy, she lost her hearing, and then lost her eyesight. She made it to the nurses office but almost collapsed. After lying down she felt fine. Looking back, she experienced the same effect a few weeks after her 1st HPV shot and she has never had anything like this happen before in her life. She will not be getting the last shot. I recommend you not get these shots, or wait until there is more information available. Why take a chance?
1 acquired immunity in history of man or animal is what makes a working vaccine, the grounds of making a sane one.
2 vaccines are made of the weaker strain as in small pox - cow pox the threat of using a dangerous one is not sound science.
Gardasil is made of the four most dangerous strains
3 Vaccines use partially alive virus in vaccine so the body fights it and develops an acquired immunity
Vaccines if you got the virus from the shot it would show symptoms due to virus show them.
HPV symptoms would take a long time to show up,
The government article I found said ////////////////the debate to mandate a vaccine or medicine with out a overwhelming need is not something the government would do , it denies freedom . then it said without out names//
we the people// are the only ones who can understand they seam insane their is no sane reasons.The assistant to maker of vaccine female disappeared out of the picture.the maker died? the name on the label of gardasil was for name sake three of them...
Do you normally faint when you are getting a shot?
From all that I have learned over the last 23 months of researching Gardasil the odds of you fainting again are good. Question: Are you feeling tired, run down, nauseous, maybe a little achy like you have the flu or something?
Kirsty, I strongly advise you to NEVER accept the other shots, your life depends on it!
It's already a pity that you received the first one!
NOBODY can force you to continue this absurdity of vaccination even not your parents, it is YOUR BODY!
Please, realize urgently that if you fainted after this vaccination it's because the compounds of the vaccine are horrible poisons!
Just have a look for having a good understanding of what I say: among the compounds you have transgenic substances (because this vaccine is a transgenic one using chimeric matters!)that could possibly change our DNA and causing chromosomic defects (could be transmitted to the children later!), you have aluminium, used as adjuvant- which is a well known neurotoxic that brokes neurologos cells in mices'brain (as proven by the Dr Shaw's team!)! You have polysorbate 80, a cancerigenous substance in animals, your have also borax or sodium borate, a substance also used for killing rats, do you imagine???!
Sodium borate can cause heptic cancer, coma and even death if used at more important level...
[Note: KKW has deleted the remainder of this comment. Several months back I said I would no longer permit "yelling" -- all capitals.]
I don't know all the references above, but here are some. Please submit the others if you know them:
Transgenic (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=srls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=fqN&q=define%3A+transgenic&btnG=Search) refers to things that have DNA from more than one source.
Chimeric (http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=define%3A+chimeric&btnG=Google+Search) refers to a combination or hybrid.
I'm not sure what the reference is to changing DNA. Can you provide a link to an article explaining this?
Adjuvant (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=CWi&q=define%3A+adjuvant&btnG=Search) seems to always refer to an additive, but sometimes means an additive that stimulates a person's immune response.
According to
Merck, the ingredients in Gardasil are: proteins of HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate
sulfate, yeast protein, sodium chloride, L-histidine, polysorbate 80, sodium borate, and water for injection. So, it's not "aluminum", it's "amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate". I'm guessing that means it's some sort of chemical that has been derived from aluminum. There's a Wikipedia article that says that aluminum derivatives are used to stimulate an immune response in a variety of vaccines. Is there a chemist out there who can explain what this particular form of aluminum means in layman's terms?
Can someone provide a link for the story about Dr. Shaw?
Polysorbate80 is a chemical ingredient in all sorts of things including ice cream and cosmetics.
this article, by a group I don't know, has citations to two professional journal articles. One says that this chemical can causes an anaphylactic shock type reaction. The second says that this affects reproductive organs in rats.
Sodium Borate is the primary ingredient in boric acid. According to
this article in large enough doses can be a poison. Does anyone have citations that explain the difference between the amount in this vaccine and the amounts people have reacted to?
Before people freak out [KKW deleted insults], maybe they should research what is in other vaccines...maybe the flu shot, hepatitis, polio, etc. Tell me all the other vaccines Americans have been exposed to for decades don't have ANYTHING remotely poisonous to humans and then we'll talk.
Apparently, Gardasil is not the only vaccine which contains ingredients possibly poisonous to humans. Surprise, surprise.
http://www.rense.com/general59/vvac.htm
Aluminum compounds (even Mercury) are found in MANY vaccines.
"Some researchers and doctors believe that flu shot ingredients, including thimerosal and aluminum, increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease...It is believed that some people cannot shed mercury from their systems and it builds up in their brains causing nerve and brain damage."
http://ezinearticles.com/?Flu-Shot-Ingredients&id=276159
Look for yourselves. Research the ingredients of ANY of today's vaccines and tell me EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM are 100 percent safe for human use. That's right, they're not. Each poses a certain threat. So don't single out the HPV vaccine until you've done your research. You don't have to be a scientist to figure it out.
To the pro-vaccine people who think vaccines are safe.
Do you think that the increase in autism from 1 - 10,000 in the 1980's to 1 - 67 in 2008 has nothing to do with the increase in vaccines from 1987 to the present?
Do you think that the rise in dementia and Alzheimer's is not related to the marketing campaign for all older individuals to get their free flu shot with Thermisol every year?
If you do your research you will find that the United States is one of the sickest countries in the industrial world. My opinion for this is that we put fluoride in our water. You will not find this is just about all countries in the world.
Also we have the highest vaccination rate in the world.
I vented. I am done now.
For those who are interested in learning about ingredients in other vaccines, I encourage you to check out my blog. You will see that Gardasil is not the first (and certainly won't be the last) that contains compounds that are potentially harmful to humans. Many vaccines have caused adverse effects, and many contain aluminum compounds, as well as (worse!) mercury. Take a look. Thanks!

All -
Today I came across this
patient information sheet from Merck. It's dated September 2008 and says:
"...You should not get GARDASIL if you have, or have had:
• an allergic reaction after getting a dose of GARDASIL.
• a severe allergic reaction to yeast, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, polysorbate
80.
...The most common side effects with GARDASIL are:
• pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site
• headache
• fever
• nausea
• dizziness
• vomiting
• fainting
Tell your health care provider if you have any of the following problems because these may be signs of an
allergic reaction:
• difficulty breathing
• wheezing (bronchospasm)
• hives
• rash
Tell your health care provider if you have:
• swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin)
• joint pain
• unusual tiredness or weakness
• generally feeling unwell
• leg pain
• shortness of breath
• chest pain
• aching muscles
• muscle weakness
• seizure
• bad stomach ache
Contact your health care provider right away if you get any symptoms that concern you, even several
months after getting the vaccine.
For a more complete list of side effects, ask your health care provider...."
So...Merck says not to get additional shots if you had a reaction to one. And, it says to contact your health care provider and let them now if you've had all these reactions "even several months after getting the vaccine."
I'm 13, and I just got my 2nd shot yesterday. At first, I felt fine, but at around 10 at night, I started to get headaches and felt like a fever was coming. Well, I was right. The next morning, all my sheets felt heated, and I could feel that I had a bad fever. I continued to go to school, and got extremely dizzy in gym, and had to sit out. I hope that my fever will die down somewhat tonight...
Also, I had been getting stomachaches and an unusually long period. It had started to stop, then suddenly started again. Does this have to do with my shot?
-Thanks.
Dear Leah,
When you look at the exact compounds of this vaccine, you immediately understand that such product could'nt been well tolerated by the majority of the girls! Of course your symptoms are linked to this dangerous vaccine and I am strongly advising you here to NEVER MAKE THE LAST SHOT, your life depends on it!
Indeed, this stupid vaccine has already caused the death of many girls and not only after the first shot, sometimes later. The people who have experienced serious adverse events often neglected alarm signes sent by their body after the firts shots! Here your body is clearly supplying you to STOP because he can't stand poisonsous substances that may contain for example products for killing rats (yes sodium borate also called borax is in Gardasil and is also a poison for killing rats that could cause death, coma, hepatic cancer, kidney failure etc)
Stomach pain and modification of the period are also obvious side effects of this vaccine, YES!
But, of course the medical staff will deny all this, you have to be fully aware of this!
For helping with your modification of the period, you can take oenothera (also called pimrose oil)wich contains natural principles that make our hormonal secretions more normal.
Take care!
Leah -
You are 13 years old. I caution you not to take specific advice from strangers on the internet.
You can, though, do research on the web and learn about issues.
On this site, you can find links to official documents that explain that this vaccine is new (only discovered in the 1990's). That means no one knows what will happen to people 10, 20, 30 years after they have the vaccine. For that reason, some medical professional organizations said that the vaccine should not be mandatory.
I could only find 6-month studies conducted before the drug was approved for sale. If that's right, it means when the drug was approved no one knew what would happen a year or two after girls are vaccinated.
When millions of girls and young women started getting the vaccine (I think that's about two years now), stories started to come out about a number of problems that hadn't originally been listed as immediate or near-term side effects. These are things happening right away or within a few months.
This blog, and a couple of others on my website, has hundreds of comments from people who've had bad experiences or know someone who has. The worst of these things include seizures, death, and debilitating pain. These people (and others) believe the vaccine is the cause; the medical industry has not agreed at this point. It's unknown if there are any official studies going on, but the US government asks people to submit information about reactions to a system called VAERS and Merck asks people to report directly to them as well.
This vaccine, and others, contain ingredients that are poisonous in certain doses and which some people believe are the cause of serious problems. Whether it's those ingredients or others, it's well known that even "good" vaccines will be well tolerated by some and cause horrible reactions in some. The US has a fund to pay the families of those seriously injured by vaccines. The funds only pay for vaccine damages where there has been traditional scientific proof of the vaccine being the cause; Gardasil is not in that category and is not covered by the fund.
If you are a person seriously affected by a vaccine it's probably never enough to get money instead of your health. So, everyone wants to know about the risks before they go ahead.
In my last post, I noted that Merck now specifically says that people who've had an "allergic" reaction to the shot shouldn't have the rest of them.
"When you look at the exact compounds of this vaccine, you immediately understand that such product could'nt been well tolerated by the majority of the girls! Of course your symptoms are linked to this dangerous vaccine and I am strongly advising you here to NEVER MAKE THE LAST SHOT, your life depends on it!"
Whoever said this should realize they sound like a complete moron. Do you even realize that the MAJORITY of the girls HAVE tolerated the vaccine well, as opposed to haven't? This is blatantly obvious as the percentage of reported adverse effects are ONLY 6 percent!! 94 percent of girls have tolerated the vaccine fine. And those other 6 percent -- there's no proof whatever medical conditions they have are related to the vaccine.
Instead of scaring teenagers on the Internet, take a look at the statistics. You will be surprised at how wrong you are. Also, if you haven't done research on vaccines (which I'm guessing you haven't), you'll see MANY, if not the majority, of today's vaccines contain compounds considered dangerous or toxic to humans. In case you can't do the math, that means some people will experience effects and some will not. Everyone reacts to things differently. Adverse effects "associated" with Gardasil are no more (and no more dangerous) than , say, the flu vaccine or ANY other vaccine out there. Yes, I've researched the flu vaccine and that has caused adverse effects including seizures. So before you jump to conclusions, just know Gardasil is not the fist vaccine to be potentially dangerous. Do your research before posting....PLEASE. You'll do us all a huge favor.
Leah,
K is right. You should not take advise from some stranger on the internet. You do not know what their intentions could be. The other thing is that you are smart enough to find this site. That proves to me that you can do the research.
You need to be open and honest with your parents about what you are feeling and what is happening with your body. That is the first step. Then you need to show them the reports and articles that you have found on the internet. They need to read the information for themselves. That is the best.
Being 13 is a really tough time in your life. So many things are changing for you. You have high school, boys, your body is changing to what will be its adult form someday. Even the way you think about things is changing.
You are at that stage like a baby bird. You have some feathers but you are not ready to fly for a while yet but you are stretching you wings none the less. Enjoy being 13 and keep communication open with your parents. I know sometimes they will not understand and you will feel like they are holding you back because you want to stretch your wings. I know it will be hard but your parents have your best interests at heart. They have been there and done that and do not want you to make the same mistakes. I know this because I was 13 once, my daughters were 13 once and now my grand children are almost 13.
I have been writing about Gardasil for almost 2 years now and I have my own website. If you want to look at it just put my name in google and it will pop up. Show your parents what you have found and hopefully, it is my hope, that they will not have you get the last shot.
Thank you for finding us on this message board. I hope this helped you.
For answering to Marjie:
Marjie, I have made research for more than 2 years on these HPV vaccines and I think your position is not logical. Why not?
Because you judge on incomplete facts: indeed, you claim that the majority of the girls have well tolerated the shots... Wich are your proofs?? All the people have to remind that:
- Firstable the manufacturer Merck has not compared the vaccinated group to a real placebo group in the clinical trials and that is so true that Merck refused to say to the FDA the exact amount of aluminium the placebo group received to the FDA! This dishonnest mean allows the lab claiming that the safety of this Gardasil was "acceptable" compartively to the placebo group
- Secondly you have to know if you have really made some serious research (which I am guessing you haven't...) that while at least 8 millions young American girls have received one shot or more, the very serious side effects were officially more than 8000 BUT as the FDA and the CDC admitted many years ago, the OFFICIAL reports of such effects only represent 1% of the reality! That makes the number of victimes suffering from serious side effects at a more realistic level of 800 000 American at least but of course the vast majority of these will not think of making the connexion with the vaccine!
So if you compare the real numbers of true cervical cancer annually in the US and this catastrophic disaster of an average of 800 000 girls who experienced useless side effects for no real benefices from the vaccine in the future, it will appears obvious to you that it's not me that has interest to make people afraid but that is the situation caused by the manufacturer's cupidity that is alarming on its own!
- Moreover, I have to mention that the girls who don't suffer from serious side effects FOR THE MOMENT could not been sure they won't in the future! Don't forget that even the manufacturer himself precised in his notice that serious auto-immune diseases like rhumatoïd arthritis (wich is a very penible disease) could still occure 4 years AFTER THE VACCINATION! So your estimations and your criticism about how I could evaluate that a majority of vaccinated girls don't tolerate well the vaccine, strongly dodged the issue!
- At last, I want to precize that we have to make the difference between serious side effects and less serious side effects BUT we could absolutely not say that lighter side effects will not been associated with the occurence of more serious diseases later!
Most often , the victims of very hard post-vaccinal problems experienced alarm signes that were neglected by them and/or the medical staff.
So, it is higly probable that yes... the vast majority of the vaccinated girls will experienced some side effects (serious or not but will not remain without any protestation of their body!) BUT what you don't seem to undrstand about this situation is that the vast majority of the girls who experienced symptoms like chronic headeaches, stomach pain, modification of the period, dizzizness, fainting etc DON'T REPORT THIS, thinking that it not worths it BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT A LOT OF PHYSICIANS ARE SAYING!
I am very surprised because it seems to me that you are a little bit deconnected of the reality!
Results of differents investigations show it very well: only 10% of physicians admitted to report effectively the cases of side effects to the official agencies!
In conclusion, I will say that protect our health with so toxic compounds we'll find in vaccines is a huge absurdity and that the protestation of a majority of bodies in one way or another has no reason of surprising us!
For answering to criticism about what you call "a stranger's opinion" I have only one thing to say: what a pity dividing instead of join ourself for saving lifes, as much as possible because at the end, we know it: it always remains the only thing taken intoo account!
For your information, I could explain that I am a victim of hepatitis B vaccine (another transgenic vaccine like Gardasil!)that I received at the same age as Kirsty and Leah because the pediatrician was insisting for it and, of course my mother followed him without asking herself crucial questions, she followed the authority in fact, the man who has a degree and in whom she thought she could be confident in! And I feel very concerned about Leah's situation for example precisely because me too, I experienced soon alarm signes after the shots and EVEN IF I STRONGLY INSISTED FOR STOPPING THERE AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT I FELT BAD, I WAS NOT HEARD. PLEASE DON'T FORGET THERE IS A HUGE TABOO WICH MEANS THAT EVEN IF TEENS MAKE SOME RESEARCH ON THEIR OWN THEY WILL MEET A LOT OF RESISTANCE FROM PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE ALL THEIR EFFORTS FOR MAKING THEM ACCEPT THE VACCINE IN ALL CASE!!! It is the reason for wich INternet is a real chance (that I could not benefit from it)and I don't think at all it's is productive to say "be careful about "stranger's opinion , come instead to visit my own site that would be more serious! All the people have the capacity of making research if they want to do it and for me, reactions of strangers make well part of global information! I appreciate well the action of Cynthia as well as KK W'one but wherever we live and whatever our professional status, we have all the posssibility of being complementary! Personnaly, I would have appreciate a lot if I could have read a stranger's reaction saying me to be careful with vaccines because of all the victims! Cordially

Chattoutgris -
I am unfamiliar with a number of the things you assert as facts. Would you please post sources or links for them?
Thanks, -k
Chattoutgris - While I appreciate your response, it sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Where exactly are you getting this information? I get mine from VAERS. When you asked me where I learned that MOST girls tolerated the shot, it was a report done from VAERS that stated 94 percent of girls had no or non-serious side effects. To me, 94 percent means majority.
"I have to mention that the girls who don't suffer from serious side effects FOR THE MOMENT could not been sure they won't in the future!"
YES, but you don't KNOW this yet.
"At last, I want to precize that we have to make the difference between serious side effects and less serious side effects BUT we could absolutely not say that lighter side effects will not been associated with the occurence of more serious diseases later!"
Once again.. WE DON'T KNOW THIS YET!!!
It seems to me like a big problem people are having with the vaccine is not its supposed side effects - that's only part of it - the problem resides in the fact that some people think the vaccine teaches girls it's OK to have unprotected sex or to no longer get annual paps. So while a small number of adverse effects have been reported (like with any other vaccine including the flu shot), the real problem lies in the underlying political message. Parents think that the vaccine opens up a world of sexuality to their young girls and teens when it doesn't. It simply is a vaccination to protect against viruses (and maybe cancer) that can be contracted sexually.
So while the numbers are there, people need to look at the fact that people are blowing it out of proportion due to political standpoints. These people freaking out are NOT doctors and scientists, they are normal people who have a problem with the message of Gardasil. Make sense?
Marjie -
I agree that the numbers are not yet known. However, based on the submissions on this website alone (of people with problems who did not report to VAERS), I have to assume that there are more than 6% with problems. What the number is exactly we can only hope to extrapolate by getting more people to report and trying to figure out what number aren't reporting.
As for the political issue, I'm sure there are people who are upset because of the sex issues. On this website, though, most of the concerns are from people who say they personally have suffered or their daughters have suffered. In those cases, it's not about statistics. It's about the pain, the fear, and sometimes permanent changes to their lives. Have a heart. No matter what we know about aggregate numbers, we should be able to empathize with and worry over each individual whose life is changed for the worse.
Sincerely, -k
K--
"However, based on the submissions on this website alone"
Do you even know who these people are or if they're lying or not? I'm not saying they are, but you can't judge a vaccine based on the Internet or even just one Web site. The truth of the matter is that we don't know what the vaccine is capable or not capable of. For this reason, people need to stop jumping to conclusions and scaring people.
I understand the reason for this Website is for people to come together and express concerns and talk about the problems they've had with the vaccine. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with sharing personal experiences. I do NOT have a problem with that. I do have a problem with people saying they know everything about something when they dont- and then they give advice like "dont get this vaccine" when they have no information about it.
And "have a heart"? Excuse me, but I find that really insulting. I do have a heart. I am a cancer survivor so I know firsthand what it's like to have life-altering medical problems. Thanks.
Marjie -
I did not mean to be insulting. But, I was pointing out that nothing you've written til now indicated that individual people might be really be suffering. In your response, you point out that they might be lying. In fact, some of the people who've written here have been interviewed by the media and the subject of newspaper and television reports. And, while it's true, someone might lie about having seizures, concussions, broken bones, and the like, my faith in people is to assume that all or nearly all here are speaking from their experience.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had cancer and readily agree that you do know what suffering and fear are.
The beauty of free speech is that we get to have different opinions.
Wishing you the best, -k
I haven't posted in quite a while, but I want to thank K for providing this forum for information exchange of individuals who have been adversely affected by Gardasil, and to thank Cynthia Janak for sharing her research on her website. Marjie does not seem to understand that those of us who were adversely affected or had family members adversely affected have no other way to get information. I have written four letters to Merck asking specific questions and their response is a form letter that answers none of my questions. My daughter's doctor called Merck and they said they "had no information to share regarding her reaction". Information about the potentially deadly and very serious, life-altering side effects of Gardasil has not been provided to the public or to the medical profession by Merck. So I, for one, will continue to inform my friends and acquaintances that there are serious risks associated with the Gardasil vaccine. If I failed to do so and a friend's daughter ended up dead or permanently disabled after taking the shots, I would never forgive myself. I know of many young ladies who were adversely affected but did not realize for quite a while that their illnesses were related to Gardasil, and many of them have chosen not to report their reactions to VAERS. Why not? Because nothing has been done with the VAERS info, and because there is very little that can be done once a reaction begins. Medical professionals who were willing to admit that my daughter was having a reaction also admitted that they did not know what to do to help her. I find Marjie's comments insulting to those of us who have posted in an effort to share important information and perhaps provide support to others who have experienced similar reactions. Marjie should realize that this is not a forum that invites cyber-liars. There is absolutely nothing for anyone to gain by making false statements on this website, but there is some benefit to being able to share information. Thanks again,K.
Like I said and I will say AGAIN,
"I understand the reason for this Website is for people to come together and express concerns and talk about the problems they've had with the vaccine. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with sharing personal experiences. I do NOT have a problem with that."
I do not mean to insult those who have had adverse reactions. My heart goes out to all of you. I am simply stating my OPINION (which is what all of you are doing) that people may be making wrong assumptions and judgements about the vaccine based on sensationalized information and comments, that's all. I am in no way saying what happened to these young ladies is false. Stop putting words in my mouth.
re:
http://marjieee.blogspot.com/
I was really offended by the things said especially calling people "morons" for having "headaches" listed on the vaers report for adverse reaction to the Gardasil vaccination. My daughter is suffering serious neurological side effects from the vaccination and because The Drs. and Physicians don't want to go against big pharma they put down on her diagnosis "headaches". My daughter has serious migraines that make her eyeballs feel like they are going to pop out and the top of her head is tender to the touch, she sometimes has tremors and tunnel vision and has had seizures but do you think the Dr. would put that down on her diagnosis or vaers report -- no because they don't want to step on any toes. And this does not mean that we are morons. I am terrified for my little girl, I know the vaccine caused this and I am hurting over it so much. Your comments in your blog are so hurtful you should think before you write that junk.
O M G...do I have to say this AGAIN? I NEVER said what happened to these girls never happened. And I never said they are lying or making these things up. I never said I don't believe them and I never said I don't believe Gardasil caused any of these adverse reactions. Like I said before, I do feel for the mothers and daughters who have had to go through life-altering medical conditions. My heart really truly goes out to you. My opinion is that YES, some girls have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, but other comments are sensationalized. I hope people understand what I mean by this. My blog is posting my opinion that the Gardasil news is based on hype and hysteria and has been sensationalized because it is a new vaccine and HAS produced some adverse reactions. My opinion doesn't defend Gardasil or say that it is flawless or perfect in any way. My opinion is simply that some people...SOME...are over-reacting because they read various personal stories on the Internet and become paranoid. And others are paranoid because they disagree with the political message behind the vaccine.
Once again I am in NO WAY saying I dont believe these people's stories or that it's not horrible what happened to them. (maybe you need to read my blog more in depth..you will see that). I'm just saying that with any vaccine, or any medical advance/procedure out there, there always will be controversy and sometimes false ideas can be stirred up because of sensationalization.
YES, Gardasil HAS caused some horrible reactions. But that doesn't mean it's a horrible drug or not safe for everyone. And I disagree that ALL of the reported reactions are FROM Gardasil. While MANY are, others ARE NOT. (As with any drug...)
I hope I'm making myself clear.
You all need to stop now.
I am very busy on my website but I have been monitoring the messages and with the last one I just have to jump in here.
I have been researching Gardasil for almost two years. I have read scientific studies, FDA reports, etc. and I have found out that the side-effects are real. In the close out document from the FDA on Gardasil there is a section called "New Medical Conditions". It is stated in a table that 73.3% of the participants of the studies had acquired a "new medical condition" within 12 months. That is how long they compiled the data for this. This vaccine has two chemicals that are harmful. One is aluminum which is a neurotoxin and the other is sodium borate which is borax. At this moment I am researching the L-Histidine that they used because if it is the one I think it is then it causes an increase in seizure activity in the brain.
So please do not say sensationalism or that there will always be controversy because this vaccine is far from safe.
Go to my website and look at all the reports that I have links to and read them. I made sure that I was very detailed and concise as to my documentation. I even download the new VAERS report to my computer and spend a whole day (10 - 12 hours) searching and sorting the results.
After all that I have read on Gardasil there is no doubt in my mind that this is a dangerous vaccine and that is my opinion.
To everyone was has replied to me:
Yes, I am aware that people on the internet may be lying, but honestly, would people actually lie on this site as a joke? Maybe there are, but a somewhat large percent of the people here are submitting similar situations. I have told my parents, and the doctor had said it had nothing to do with my shot. I had my doubts, so I researched to get more opinions.
Anyways, my fever has miraculously gone down without medicine today, and hopefully, no other side effects will come in the future. I am still considering whether or not to take my 3rd shot in April....
So untl then, thanks for everyone's care and support!
Cynthia -
"In the close out document from the FDA on Gardasil there is a section called "New Medical Conditions". It is stated in a table that 73.3% of the participants of the studies had acquired a "new medical condition" within 12 months."
Thanks for once again not supporting your evidence. It makes it easier to argue.
Just exactly how common is it for someone to aquire a "new medical condition" in a year? How possible? You're ridiculous. (meaning anyone can get a new medical condition at any time in their lives so stating that it has to do with Gardasil is in no way good evidence.)By the way, I HAVE looked at your Web site (almost every single article) and I have read through your entire VAERS report. Your site is where I have gotten a lot of information ..and I'm still sticking to my opinion. Your information (in the VAERS) only re-affirms the fact that the majority of girls have reacted positively to the vaccine. The VAERS said that...the same one on your site.
I'm done arguing here, but thanks for letting me express my opinions. Best to you all.
Subject: Clinical Review of Biologics License Application Supplement for Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) Vaccine, Recombinant (Gardasil®) to extend indication for prevention of vaginal and vulvar cancers related to HPV types 16 and 18.
Dated September 11, 2008
http://www.fda.gov/cber/products/gardasil/gardasil091108.pdf
If you truly read and understand my articles you would have noticed in my most recent my comments at the end and it is...
To summarize this long and detailed article you have a better than 50% chance of having a new medical condition after receiving the Gardasil vaccine. At least those odds are better than the report of September 11, 2008 which is 73.3% chance of acquiring a new medical condition. The only problem is that I have to base this percentage on the most common new medical conditions and those of interest. The actual percentage when everything is taken into consideration can be as high as the report of September 11, 2008 if not higher. We just do not know because this reporter decided that it was not important.
What all this means is that in the United States you have the real possibility of 2,902,164 girls that have a new medical condition. This is better than the numbers that I gave you in my last article because I based them on the results of the report of June, 2006.
The other item is that Gardasil never had a placebo group in any of their studies and that the reporter that generated this document used false statements in regards to the saline placebo. The, so called, saline placebo was in reality a non-alum carrier solution placebo.
I would suggest that the FDA looks at this new information and that they pull this vaccine off the market due to the fact that there is a good chance that 50% of the girls vaccinated with Gardasil will have a new medical condition that can alter their standard of living dramatically and that it could increase the number of the disabled in this country.
The same recommendation goes to all the countries that are administering either of the HPV vaccines. The odds of 50% to 73.3% are too high in my opinion to continue with this type of vaccination.
To Leah - you're right to doubt what your doctor says about not having anything to do with your shot. All the doctors I've been dealing with for my daughter don't beleive her issues have to do with the vaccine. My name is Maria and I live in Pennsylvania. I originally posted in Aug 2007 after my then 14-year-old daughter had her first seizure. She and my then 17-year-old both had their first shot nearly 18 months ago. My oldest hasn't had any issues (let's hope she never does!) But my younger daughter, who now just turned 16 has had illness after illness ever since. And this child was a healthy and active star athlete before getting her shot. Now she's been suffering with chronic fatigue, headaches, fainting, seizure activity, unconscousness and stopped breathing at least 3 times during different episodes. The doctors just send me on a wild goose chase to see a cardiologist, neurologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, etc., because they have to "rule out" what could be causing her symptoms. I'm not getting any answers and they act like they don't know what I'm talking about when I say it's from Gardasil. It's recommended now that she see a psychologist because she may be depressed. Well, no kidding, for what she's been dealing with for the past 18 months, anyone would be depressed. Especially a 16-year old who should be enjoying her teenage years and learning to drive. I was so pissed when the cardiologist said "oh, she's just a fainter". No, she's not, she was a very strong and healthy athlete. And this isn't just fainting, she doesn't wake up. She goes unconscious for long periods and stops breathing. I am really tired of these doctors not taking what I'm saying seriously. I'm sorry, I know I'm venting. Has any parent found a doctor who believes them and can help? Is there something we can truly do to get this crap out of our little girls' bodies?
To Karen or Cynthia - recently someone posted that Merck admitted there could be auto-immune issues from this vacccine 4 years later. Have you heard this, and do you know if this is documented somewhere and point me to it? Thanks! To the parents of the girls who are suffering, I know what you're going through and my thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Maria,
Please go to this message group. They have shared a lot of information and have found success with some detox methods. Here is the group.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lets_Talk_about_Gardasil
They are a great bunch of people.
Well, I have a lot of things to add and to answer after the last comments I read!
For KK, I can proof all what I say so no problem for assuming!
The facts about the number of percents of serious side effects is estimable based on the reports readable on the website of Judiacial Watch so, for me the serious risk is more probably about 10% than about 6%.....
The fact that only 10% of the physicians do report vaccine side effects was related in the well documented book of Neil Z Miller "Vaccines, are they really safe and effective?". It seems to me that this information was published in Jama;
It's also in Jama that the FDA and the CDC admitted the 1% report of the amount of side effects in reality and it was also published in the mag Money in 1996....
I have to say for information that I have made very serious researches about vaccine dangers and not only the one problem of the HPV vaccines! I have recently written an article in french about the problematic of HPV vaccines and if KK wants to get the english translation of my article I will send her it without any problem.
I made the whole translation in english especially because I promised to the Jessica Vegas' family to send them this what I made of course soon after the publication of the article. In this article you have pictures of Jessica Vega and for prooving this, I can without any problem put you the link to this article (on this link the article is in french of course but the pictures of Jessica are there; NB: the article is written under pseudonym because I heard from some very informed people that it could exist a risk of physicial threat (yes you read well!):
http://www.univers-nature.com/sante-nature/vaccin-anti-cancer-col-uterus.html
So, yes... I have no reason to lie or to exagerate the disaster!
You must not forget that people who scare other people do this because they could have some interest to do so and that is absolutely not my case!
Do you know at least what an internal notification of the pharmaceutical firm Pasteur Mérieux was saying in the 90' in France (during the criminal campain against hepatitis B vaccine)? I will say it to you:
" ON THE VACCINATION MARKET, TEENS ARE A VERY INTERESTING COMMERCIAL TARGET, WE HAVE TO DRAMATICIZE... MAKING AFRAID WITH THE DISEASE"
Who can say more clearly that the manufacturers themselves what is their true philosophy???
I have to say too that when my mother called Glaxo Smith Kline about problems with Engerix B 10 (the junior version of hepatitis B vaccine, the transgenic version with a lot of aluminium which is beautiful said by the manufacturer as "recombinant and adsorbed" for not alerting people's vigilance of course!!), the lab said that they had nothing to say because she was not a medical doctor.
So, what we see is clearly that:
the manufacturer says "it's no my problem, see it with your doctor"
The doctors say: "it's not my fault, I followed the official advises about vaccination policies"
and the autorithies say "we judge on the information given to us by the firms"!
And how is the place of the patient in this mess? Nowhere, he remains there angry and frustrated and more of all suffering a lot without any indemnity!
This is no acceptable anymore!
That's the reason for wich american associations like NVIC should associate with other associations in Europ, because we are all involved in the same vicious circles no?
Everywhere the pretexts of the labs are awlays the same!
Look at the GMO problematic on second: the firms refused to mention on their products if they are transgenic or not so that consummers can't choose! Comparison is the suprem ennemy of any firm that creates any form of pollution (electromagnetic pollution, vaccinal pollution, pollution of the food etc)
That is also the reason for wich Merck didn't compare the vaccinated group with a real placebo group because if he made really this, it would have appeared more clearly that this vaccine is criminal and the manufacturer would have had more difficults to make accepting his product even if FDA is not an independant agency!
With such dishonnesty, Merck has presented his product as "sufficiently safe comparatively to the false placebo group".
And as Crystal Wade said, I has me too no complex to say to the maximum of people "DON'T GET THIS VACCINE, IT IS JUST POISON!"
As ponygirlohio I feel very concerned by Marjie attack's and I think as Cynthia that it's absurd to condamn what makes part of global internet information!
If I am so involved in this cause, it's because here in Belgium girls also died after GARDASIL but here nobodys talked about that, no newspaper and no TV, NOTHING!
And a few days adter knowing these facts (in fact it's my mother who heard here in a brussel's drugstore what the girl before her in the file said to the pharmacist wich is that 2 of her healthy friends died a few time after Gardasil), I read exactly the sam: Mariane's testimony (Mariane is a young French girl who was 18 at this time)who explained she saw her friend dying at the hospital 2 weeks after having received her first shot of Gardasil after wich she fainted and was brought to the hospital that she never left before her death 2 weeks later!
And, as a curious coincidence, Mariane heard from the medical staff that they didn't want to scare the public with some news!
Yes but is it not more scaring and more problematic to see the disaster increasing on and on???
I heard and read these information in february 2008 and, in january 2008, the EMEA (= european agency for drug evaluation, the european version of the FDA if you prefer)annouced the death of 2 young women, a german girl of 17 years and an autrian girl of 19.
In Austria, the minister of health (who is also physician) decided to stom advising this vaccination and stop paying back it!
But while these facts occured a friend of me who is finishing her medical studies still report to me that her professors claim there is NO RISK OF ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH THIS VACCINE! So how do you want the students and after the diplomated physicians would be able to diagnose vaccine side effects and then reporting it? It's impossible and that is why the benefits/risks ratio as presented by authorities is absolutely FALSE;
Cordially.
And also, I just want to apologize for some faults (ex: paying back it instead of paying it back etc etc) I could have made in english but I am note a native and sometimes when I write quickly, I could make more faults. Sorry for that! When I read my last post again, of course I saw it and that 's make me angry against myself but I appreciate a lot this forum is open to all and so that I could discuss here in english with all of you! Now, once again, thank you KK for making this place of discussion!
I, thank God, came to this website BEFORE getting the Gardasil shot for my 13YO daughter. I was appalled at what I read. This site has NOTHING to do with anyone's opinion on teen sexual relations. It only has to do with a parent's concern about their daughter!! I have been following this wonderful site for at least 6 months and it amazes me that anyone who reads this would even CONSIDER giving this to their child. There has not nearly been enough research on Gardasil and it isn't even as effective as they have lead everyone to believe, which is why we still need paps. Anyone who believes this is a good vaccine is being snowed by Merck.
By the way, I saw a law suit filed against a doctor for not warning of the side effects sufficiently for Gardasil. Unfortunately, no one can go after the drug companies, but at least it is something. I would suppose if enough docs were sued, they would start doing their own reasearch and not recommend this shot.
For clarification to Chattoutgris, I never said the vaccine "is just poison". I have said that my daughter's body rejected all food for nine weeks "as if she had been poisoned", and that she suffered symptoms in the Moderate Poisoning range as defined by the CDC. What I tell my friends and acquaintances is that they need to research Gardasil thoroughly before getting the vaccine, as I wish I had done before my daughter got it. I tell them that obviously the majority of girls can tolerate the shot, but that there are many thousands who have reported adverse events that they believe are related to Gardasil. I also tell them that I believe if my daughter had gotten the third vaccine she would never have recovered bc her illness became much more severe after the second shot, and that we are 100% sure that Gardasil caused her illness. On the other hand, my daughter (who suffered first-hand the negative side effects of Gardasil and is now 20, thank God she survived!!!), tells people "Do not get this vaccine. There is a chance you could get as sick or even sicker than I did. Wait a few years and see what further research and experiences reveal."
Just to let you know I have created a petition to rescind the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. If you want please sign this petition and let all your family, friends and acquaintances know also. Here is the link.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/rescind-the-national-childhood-vaccine-injury-act
Thank you.
Dear Cristal Wade,
The meaning of what I sayd was that as you, I find normal to explain the brig dangers of the HPV vaccines (here in Europ it's not one vaccine but 2 frequently used because the Cervarix of GSK as also an agreement decerned by the EMEA) and my sentence was more especially adressed to Marjie.
I think it's not very productive to begin with details of vocabulary. If you, Cristal, you are informing the people you know about the risks, it's also because the risks appear to be important, very too important comparatively to the supposed benefits and if these risks are so problematic, there is no mystery! It's because this product is a poison and a brief analysis of its compounds bring us the proof ot it. For example the presence of sodium borate (borax), a POISON used for killing rats! So what I wanted to mean was that you as me will continue to inform and that our information is much a message for avoiding the vaccine than for encouraging it.
That was the real meaning of what I said.
Cordially
These recent comments are sickening! No one in their right mind would make something up like this up! AND, so what if there is a larger portion of girls having positive results to the shot! Do the ones of us that had negative results not matter!? What I'm reading is complete bull! I have been suffering ever since getting this dang shot, I know FIRST HAND. So unless you, yourself, have had this shot and been through what I and millions of others have been through, then keep your negative opinion to yourself! This is a REAL concern and there is REAL danger. This site is for people to research this shot and make a decision whether to get it themselves or for their children, and for the ones of us who have concerns and have had to deal with illnesses and what not from receiving the shot. We are sharing and expressing our fears, facts, and problems, we do not need someone coming here and telling us that we are liars or don't count because we are a minority! How dare anyone have the nerve to say such a thing!
I'm sorry gals, that just irked me! I had to express how ridiculous some of these recent comments are!
Take Care All!
I am 21 years old and just recently got my last round of gardasil. The 1st shot I was fine, 2nd shot I got extremely bad hives and had them for 2 months. I had no idea the shot was what was causing my hives. I saw an allergist and dermatologist and they were both stumped. I just got my last round 2 days ago (Jan 2, 2009) and on Sunday Jan 4 2009, I woke up with a high fever, joint pain and hives again. I went to the original doctor that gave me the shot and she said side effects were so rare that there was no way I was having an allergic reaction to the shot. I know this is what has been causing all my health problems for the past 4 months. If I could go back I would not get the shot because it has caused me more harm than good in my opinion.
I am a 22 year old girl. I began my series of the vaccine in December of 2008. I had all three doses because I never had a recation after the first two. About a month and a few days after my third dose I was away in Europe with my family. I had to take an emergancy flight home because I got extremely hot, dizzy, felt like I was going to faint, horrible chest pain and heart palpitaitions. I was told by almost all of the doctors it was anxiousness, however I was not anxious about anything. I had the works done had everything checked from head to toe. They found gastritis in my stomach and low b12 levels in my blood. I am not sure if this is related to the vaccine, but I can only assume that it is because I was an extremely healthy individual before I had my last dose. I noticed that my symptoms continued for months and got worse. I continued to have bad stomach pain and tingling in my legs has occured. After almost 6 months of my last vaccine I am having tingling in my legs that comes and goes but is very annoying and painful. After reading this website and others I am very upset that I got this vaccine because it seems as if there are a lot of side effects that continue to surface. I was told it was safe by not only one doctor but several. I strongly feel that what Iam suffering from today is realated to this vaccine all though as others have said doctors strongly disagree. I was wondering if anyone has found a detox method to use to discard of this vaccine from the body! I hope my symptoms as well as anyone else out there who is suffering go away.
God Bless All!
Sorry you are going through this Mia. I do have some good news for you. The girls on the yahoo message board Lets Talk About Gardasil are having success with getting better. One of the things that they are doing is hyperbaric oxigen treatments and they are working with Dr. Mark from California as to riding the body of the toxins. So there is light at the end of the tunnel unfortunately the cost is a little pricey but what can you do. The damage that is done is pretty extensive and it will take time to get better.
You are in my prayers.
Thank you so much for that information. I will definately look into it!
I posted the following - On June 24, 2008 my 15 yr old daughter had her first HPV shot and within 2 min fainted,seizures and voimiting. It has been about 6 hours since the shot and she seems to be doing better. After reading these posts she will not take any further doses.

It has been 6 months since my daughter has been injected with this poison and she seems to be back to a healthy teenager. I credit this site for providing us with the needed information that the medical staff refused to provide us. They out right lied to us and stated that the injection had nothing to do with her reaction…They simply stated that “your daughter fainted because she was scared to get a shot…What a bunch of crap!!!! My daughter still experiences a lack of concentration sometimes and she does not have the memory that she once had…ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS SHOT FOR THEIR DAUGHTER “BEWARE”
I took my 13 year old daughter to get all her vaccinations and our doctor strongly recomended that she get the hpv vaccine. She has been suffering from severe headaches daily and sensitivity to light. She only received the one vaccine, I am so thankful I never took her back for the second one. I have been suspicioius that the vaccine is what is causing her headaches and now after reading all these testimonials I am reaaly frightened for my daughter. I definitely think there are enough cases for a LAWSUIT! Is she going to suffer for the rest of her life?
Omg sme when i had my 1st one i fainted but i had my second one and im fine i just get bad headaches everday :( x
over 250,000 women die of cervical cancer every year
you are all CRAZY!!!!!!!
You don't know Crazy!
We all KNOW about CANCER. I live with cancer everyday. My mom is dying of cancer as we speak. I lost 2 aunts to breast cancer. Lost 2 child cousins to Leukemia. I hate cancer. And I had my girls vaccinated with the HPV vaccine because I thought it was good for them. Well it wasn't! Just because we're a small percentage doesn't mean it's not real. It made them sick. My daughter was a healthy star athlete who ran circles around other girls her age. Now she's sick all the time, passes out all the time and has seizures. For 1 1/2 years she has had test after test, and they can't find anything! She is white as a ghost, sleeps all the time, and some days can't even lift her head. This all started with her Gardasil shot. Come to my house and see how my little girl goes limp and unconscious for no reason and I'll show you CRAZY!
Ladies, for more information about Gardasil please go to my website.
http://www.cynthiajanak.com. Click on the Gardasil button. I have been researching Gardasil for two years and I have not found anything that is good about this vaccine.
The other thing to do is to join this yahoo group. You will receive a lot of support from the moms and young women that have been affected by Gardasil. Great bunch of people.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lets_Talk_about_Gardasil
Here is the group for the girls.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GirlsGardasilHotLine
All of you will be in my prayers.
Thank you Cynthia for all you have done to help us help our girls. I know my last comment came off as angry, well I was! It's really upsetting that people come on here and criticize us and call us "Crazy" when they don't know the fear and frustration we go through everyday! This is our daughters' lives we're talking about! God bless all these girls, you're in my prayers!
Recently I had a discussion with one of the Gardasil Girls and the question came up. "Why did this have to happen?" Why do we have to go through all this?"
I explained to her that God has a bigger picture in mind and we discussed that. It was like I had an epiphany. It was wonderful.
I will be on the radio on Feb. 16th and will go into this in depth. Go to this website to listen to the interview live.

It starts at 6:00PM mountain time.
After this show no one will look at vaccination the same again.

my daughter, who is 14 now, received the gardisil vaccine july 2007. Since then we have been to several dr.'s and all test come back normal. She passes out 1 to 4 times every day, is so weak,she barely attends school. This week, she had a seizure, stoped breathing 3 times, and when she came to she could not feel her leg. I'm interested in the hyperbaric oxigen treatments. could anyone tell me more about this?
My name is Brittany and I am 22. I too had the Gardasil shot. I have recently been experiencing severe, severe knee pain in my left and right knees. My limbs have also been falling asleep frequently, not just when I sit for awhile or sleep, but all the time and it's very painful. But more than that, the knee pain is unbearable. I can hardly walk or sit sometimes. I don't know what to do anymore, so I googled the side affects and this website popped up. If anyone could help, I would really, really appreciate it. Also, I had knee surgery on my right knee, but the pain is the same in both knees. The surgery was for ACL, LCL and Miniskis surgery. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks so much.
Brittany
I had all three shots - the last one 9 months ago - and have had no complications.
Kami, I am glad that you did not have a reaction to the shot. Could you tell me one thing? What is your activity level?
Thank you
acquired immunity was seen in animals or man before the first vaccine was made.....
Their is no acquired immunity of warts HPV in man or animal........That the animal or man never got warts again ......You cannot make an acquired immunity if their is not one already seen in nature .....NOT side effects!!!
i had the gardisil and hep a shot last year. Yet i noticed on my vagina tiny lesions. Im nt sure what they are but are they side effects because i never had them before.
My activity level? By that I'm sure you mean physical activity.
I work out at the gym 5-7 days a week.
Cynthia,
I just re-read your question to me. Are you implying that I will or will not experience side effects because of my activity level? I have never heard this theory before...please elaborate.
Kami -
I am not aware of any documented correlation between physical activity and gardasil reactions. The people who've responded to this website have varied from very physically active to not active at all. Cynthia may have a theory that she's testing. -k
I'd like to hear more about activity level. My daughter was a star athlete, very active and healthy, played soccer 24/7 and now can barely lift her head some days because of the dizziness she has been experiencing since her first Gardasil shot. My other daughter was active and healthy, but not as athletic, and has had no reactions to the vaccine. A lot of stories I hear are about girls who were once very active and athletic, like my daughter. Both my daughters got their first shot in July of 2007. We are still dealing with dizziness, unonsciousness, and significant illnesses with my one daughter, and she has been on seizure meds for 5 months.
K- Yes, you may be right. That would be interesting to learn about. Also, I wonder if age has anything to do with it. According to Cynthia's reports (and this page), a majority of the girls who experienced side effects (or at least reported them), have been pre-teens or teens. I'm not seeing too much about women in their 20s...but I could be wrong.
I'm not positive about that either, but yes, it did seem to be more younger girls, possibly lighter weights too. My daughter with all the problems was going on 15, 5'2", about 118 lbs. and my other daughter was almost 18, 5'5", about 130 lbs. However, I did see girls and women with higher weights with problems.
During my research I found some of the reactions of the Gardasil Girls were the same as with the Autism community's children. I also know that 4 out of 5 children affected with Autism are male. I spoke with one father of an 18 year old autistic boy and he told me that his son's testosterone levels are off the charts. When speaking with a friend about the Gardasil Girls being athletic, etc. they mentioned to me that females that are very physically active have higher levels of testosterone. Initially, this did not fit the profile for some of the girls, via VAERS and other blog posts, because some had a weight issue. I then found out that higher levels of testosterone in females has been found in females that are over weight. Now I do not mean moderately. (I am trying to be politically correct here.) I then researched how the blood brain barrier could be affected by high levels of testosterone. Lo and behold I found out that estrogen protects the brain better than testosterone from damage. Therefore higher levels of testosterone will, in my opinion, increase any brain damage that could be caused by the aluminum and other chemicals in the vaccines.
That is why activity level is important.
Kami, your activity level may be just to stay in shape. Not like others who have a weight training is the best way I can explain it type of workout which is more strenuous.
It would be great to do a comparison of challenged physical activity, moderate activity and no activity with a persons weight or body mass.
I went and got my HPV shot about a couple weeks ago and got it with my Mengitis shot. I'm 16 thin, and not very tall. But ever since I have gotten that shot, my lower stomach has been hurting so bad. The only way I can describe it is if I am about to start my montly. And it didn't start till I got my first shot. I'm debating if I want to go back and get the last too. After all the stomach pain it has been causing me already.
My grandaughter had the vaccination, had all three. She has been having shortness of breath. Did not read about anyone with this reaction. Has this been a reaction for anyone. Do not know if it is connected.
My daughter had the first shot almost a year ago. It has been the worst year ever. Constant serious headaches, seizures, asthma, her breathing actually stops suddenly, joint pain, her grades have fallen. This Gardasil is going to ruin our generation of girls. We are not liars and Drs. need to help us not lie to us and pretend it isn't happening. I wish every day I would never have allowed the Dr. to give her that vaccine. Please parents at least read before you agree to the shots it will save you a world of heartache. I know in my heart my daughter is harmed by this shot. You know when your child is healthy and after you get the shot they are very ill--we are not making this up for any profit or gain. Please Drs. help us and quit being blind to the facts. For anyone who got the shot for their precious girl--watch them very closely--my girl had a horrible seizure at home alone--I found her unconcious on the floor and called an ambulance. She never ever had any problems whatsoever before.
Cynthia,
I'm sure many mothers and daughters are and have been wondering this for quite some time, yet it never seems to be addressed:
what information has your research given you regarding if and WHEN side effects do show up? If aluminum poisoning in the brain is something you've found in a lot of the girls (or you think is related to headaches, seizures, dizziness, etc.), how long does aluminum take to spread to and affect the brain? Can some people tolerate larger amount of aluminum than others? If so, is this why only some girls have had reactions while others are completely fine?
Also, besides potentional aluminum poisoning from the vaccine, what other ingredients are related to side effects? Have you found correlation between Sodium Borate, for example, or L-Histidine? What potential side effects would these ingredients cause, and how soon after the vaccine was administered would they show up?
It seems that a lot of girls that have had negative reactions from Gardasil also got other vaccinations at the same time - meningitis, hep, etc.
Cynthia, do you think receiving additional vaccines WITH the Gardasil vaccine increases the risk of side effects? Do you think it is due to maybe an "overload" of certain ingredients that maybe some girls can only handle in small doses?
I have a lot of unanswered questions about Gardasil and it's frustrating because nobody seems to know the answer and nobody can ever really give me a straight answer. I've been to all of Cynthia's sites but all they are are just reports of side effects potentially related to Gardasil. I feel like nobody really knows the ingredients in Gardasil and its effects on humans, etc. I really want to know why some girls who receive Gardasil are fine, and others are not. Is that so much to ask for?!
I'm wondering if there are any pre-existing conditions these girls all share, or like someone on here suggested that maybe it has to do with physical activity level and testosterone. Also I've noticed a lot of the girls who have had side effects are young, like between 9 and 12, and some teens, but almost none in their 20s. (Or maybe women in their 20s don't report)...My own conclusion so far is that there has to be SOME sort of factor that tells us who can't handle the vaccine and who can...its just frustrating! I'm sure everyone agrees with me...we want answers!
"Recently I had a discussion with one of the Gardasil Girls and the question came up. 'Why did this have to happen? Why do we have to go through all this?'
I explained to her that God has a bigger picture in mind and we discussed that. It was like I had an epiphany. It was wonderful."
No offense to whoever wrote that, but I don't believe it is G-d's "plan" to have these girls suffer.
Tiffany,
All of us mothers that have daughters still suffering side effects would like the answers to those questions too.
Tiffany -
I understand your frustration and believe you are correct. I think that at this time no one does know for sure why some girls are so profoundly affected and why so many other people appear to have no reaction.
Pharmaceutical companies are required to do several stages of testing before a medicine is sold to the public. However, even with that process and review by the FDA (before sale in the US), sometimes a dangerous drug gets through and sometimes a drug that's good for many is very bad for a few.
The HPV vaccine is still so new (just a few years) that no one knows what the long-term effects are, if any, on the millions of girls and women who have had it. We do know that most of those people do not suffer a significant short-term effect.
There seem to be a few hints about what causes the severe impact in the small percentage of girls and women in the days or months after receiving the vaccine. Merck (the manufacturer) now says you should not get Gardasil if you have severe allergies to: Gardasil, yeast, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, and/or polysorbate 80. (From it's Patient Information form: http://www.gardasil.com/gardasil-product-information/index.html ). They also recommend that you tell the doctor if you have a fever or an immune disorder. So, these are things they are probably considering, or have been suggested to them, as being possibly related.
In order for anyone to be able to make a scientifically supported determination of what causes these terrible problems, the researchers need lots of valid information. Affected girls and women (or their parents) need to be sure that their experience is reported to their country's drug safety authority (in the US, report to the FDA/CDC through VAERS). In addition, people can notify Merck directly and, in the US, contact the Vaccine Fund.
K-
Thanks so much for your response. I believe that makes a lot of sense.
"There seem to be a few hints about what causes the severe impact in the small percentage of girls and women in the days or months after receiving the vaccine.

Thanks again for the information you've provided. I think a lot of people who use this blog can benefit.
K,
What you said may be the first thing I've read about Gardasil that actually makes sense. Thank you for that, sincerely.
I myself have many of those same questions but as of now it seems that not enough research has been done to know the answers to all of those questions. I hope with the hints you speak of about things possibly being related to adverse reactions takes us a step up the ladder in the right direction, and that doctors, researchers, etc. are one step closer to identifying the causes of these reactions.
"I hope more research is done so girls don't have to suffer in the future." This research should have been done before it was approved by the FDA but it was fast tracked. In the Merck Gardasil close out document to the FDA, September, 2008, there is a category called “New Medical Conditions” and this table states that 73.3% of participants acquired a new medical condition in one year. This could be anything from a cold to paralysis. The results are staggering.
Several things people do not know.
The HPV, virus like particles, are genetically engineered. No one knows really what could happen in the body with these particles.
Long term studies were not done. A booster shot may be needed in five years or more. No one knows yet.
This vaccine was manufactured to create a severe immune response in the body. Most immune responses can last 6 months to a year. These girls are being rechallenged at 2 months and 6 months after the first shot. That is why many young females do not experience side effects after the first shot but end up with severe effects after the second or the third shot.
No research was done on L-Histidine in a vaccine like environment because it is just an amino acid, per one of the scientists involved in the study. (I had a personal conversation with him.) I have since learned that histidine, which turns into histamine, when added to a surfactant which is what Polysorbate 80 is causes thrombin production which is a key clot promoter via a study I found.
One of the things that I have recently found is that there could be a connection with histidine and molecular mimicry. I am checking this out as I write this with my contact in the AU at a research university. This has not been determined as fact yet so please be patient.
We ingest and breathe Aluminum every day. Our mucous membranes of the body are able to process this aluminum and rid the body of some of it quickly. We have three barriers in our body, gut, lungs and brain. If any of those barriers are compromised the others end up becoming non functional. That is why many girls are having problems with the gut, breathing problems and brain fog, etc.
The aluminum in a single dose is .225mg. In six months the body has been injected with .675mg of aluminum. If the body is at its peak processing of aluminum because of the added environmental factors the excess aluminum is deposited in various organs of the body including the brain. As to the processing of aluminum in the body, I believe that everyone is different and process aluminum at different rates. It also depends on kidney function.
I download the complete VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) stats, foreign and domestic, to my computer every month. The total reports are now over 15,000 in two and a half years. It has been determined that this is only 1% of the doctors reporting so we have the real potential to have over 1,500,000 young women experiencing side-effects and many are now disabled and suffering.
In many infant vaccines the aluminum can range from .125mg to .85mg which is the maximum allowed per the EPA. Many infants are receiving 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 vaccines at the same time. This is putting the infants over the safety limit when you factor in the environmental exposure. Then look at the limit as this is universal meaning this limit of .85 mg is for adult and infant vaccines. If you look at body weight of an infant and compare to a 150 pound adult, this baby will not be able to process all that aluminum safely. Another thing is that an infant’s immune system is still developing along with the other organs of the body like the kidneys which are instrumental in riding the body of aluminum.
Another thing I found out while researching this vaccine is that the girls severely affected all happen to be athletes or extremely active and high achievers. There are a few in the VAERS reports where it mentions excessive weight also. The common factor in these two groups is elevated testosterone. When you look at that you have to factor in the Autistic children. Four out of five are male. Estrogen protects the brain from damage better than testosterone per some studies on stroke victims that I found.
As to the possible reactions of the 12-13 year olds, you have these girls going through puberty and their bodies are adjusting to the surges of hormones. One of the things that are not happening is that these girls and young women are not being asked where they are in the cycle. There are times during the cycle that the levels of estrogen drop. One is around one week before your period, if I am not mistaken.
Estrogen protects the brain better than testosterone. We have both in our bodies.
If you check the product insert by Merck it has only been tested with the HepB vaccine. It states in the insert that it should not be given with other vaccines because they have not been tested with Gardasil. Unfortunately, doctors are administering this vaccine with others. I have found that it is about 16% of the doctors, via VAERS reports, that have done this. I guess they did not get the memo.
Pre-existing conditions are a factor because if someone had or has some auto-immune disorder they should not get the vaccine. If someone is allergic to yeast they should not get this vaccine because it is created with yeast. Also, in a study I did of pre-existing allergies in the recipients, I found that quite a few girls have sulfa allergies. There is “aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant”. I am not a scientist but it is my opinion that some of the girls could be having an allergic reaction to the sulfate component.
The question was presented as to why God would allow this. These girls have given the silent faces of autism a voice for the first time. For the first time the symptoms of these toddlers and young children can be explored because the Gardasil girls are able to voice what they are experiencing. The similarities are striking.
One last thing is that aluminum has been used in vaccines as long as mercury has. My opinion is that Autism and SIDS is nothing more than brain damage due to aluminum in the vaccines.
Evidence is with all the Gardasil Girls affected.
This is not rocket science. The data and studies are there. It is pretty dry reading though. I have read thousands and thousands of pages. My suggestion is educate before you vaccinate. I am not anti-vaccine. I believe that vaccination has its place but we need a safe vaccination method. It is my opinion that what we have is not working.
Cynthia,
At this point you are just contributing to the problem. We trusted you and asked you questions yet you keep copy and pasting the same reponses over and over again, without actually answering specific questions. These are REAL women and girls with REAL questions that we trust you to answer - since you said you've been researching Gardasil for two years. If you don't know the answer then don't give us false information. We understand that not that much information has been released yet and not much research has been done yet...we ca handle that..but don't you dare give us false and very biased information...for example how autism may be caused by too much aluminum in the brain...are you insane?! I've been to your sites and I hope the other readers of this blog will realize that your views are very much skewed and you might be slightly unstable. READERS OF THIS BLOG: BEWARE. get your information from somewhere else!! Please1
im defo not avin the 3rd one
i found out y i fainted on the 1st one its coz i was elergic to injections fluid put into mi body lmaoo am thickk! xx
Concerned Mother.
Excuse me but what questions did I not answer? If I missed one I would like to address it.
As to your Autism comment. The Autism community has been focusing on Mercury. According to the VAERS database cases of Autism are still being reported when the vaccines given do not even have a trace of Thimerosal(Mercury). The obvious other neurotoxin in the vaccines is aluminum. Some children are receiving 1.2mg - 1.5mg total aluminum because they have received 5 - 6 vaccines at one time. I researched it, was interviewed on the radio about it and Dr. Elsner who wrote "What the Pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know about Vaccines." agrees with me. I was on the radio with him and discussed his book.
It is also a fact as reported by the EPA that the body can only process a certain amount of aluminum. The excess aluminum is then deposited in other organs of the body like the liver, spleen, pancreas and the brain.
It is also noted that a baby's immune system continues to develop up to the age of at least one. Some say two years old.
I hope I helped you with the understanding of aluminum to a degree.
One other thing to finish. Many of the Gardasil Girls have had their hair tested for excess metals and aluminum comes up high on that list. This means that they have too much aluminum and they only receive .225 mg aluminum. I felt I needed to make that clarification.
Concering the aluminum comment, I wonder why some people can tolerate certain amounts of it and other can't?
Does age play a role in this at all?
Cynthia,
It is starting to make a little more sense to me now. But what I think these people are asking you (when they say you still haven't answered their questions) is HOW SOON can you tell if someone has aluminum poisoning in their brain? You say if a person is exposed to too much aluminum it can end up traveling to their brain. Ok this makes sense. But how soon after the shot? One minute? Two months? Five years? Or do we not know that information yet? A lot (actually most) of the girls who have reactions have them between one minute and a few months after the vaccine.
What these people are asking is: if someone had all three shots more than 1 year ago, are they in the clear? These are the questions people want answers to. And they also want to know if their daughters HAVE already or are already experiencing side effects, how long will they last?
Aluminum and the other potentially potent ingredients: how soon does poisoning show up? How long does it last?
I understand what could potentially CAUSE the side effects but we want to know WHEN. Girls are worried sick after they get the shot, probably counting down the hours until their first seizure. (when they may not even have one!) That is not helpful information -- do you see what Concerned Mother is saying? We KNOW what could happen.....we want to know WHEN.
I agree with Bella....I've been wondering this for months....
I had all three of my shots with no reactions (knock on wood!!) - the last shot 8 months ago. (the first shot one year and three months ago) Am I "in the clear" as Bella said? Or do some side effects show up later?
The truth of the matter is that most girls are fine with the vaccine. Everybody handles medicine differently. Simply stated though, we can never know for sure who will react and who won't. I know that doesn't answer your questions Bella or Candie , but it's true. We don't know who will get sick and who will be fine. If we knew that, none of this would have happened in the first place.
We can blame Merck and we can blame doctors and nurses for not warning us or not listening to us, but what good would that do? None of this happened on purpose. I doubt Merck is out to kill people. The idea behind the vaccine is valid, but maybe it wasn't ready to be on the market yet, or maybe it is. If they take it off the market we'll know for sure. So far it's still being administered because most girls can handle it just fine. I know that makes a lot of the people on this site very angry, thinking that people don't take their daughters reactions seriously, but that's not the case. We are all aware of the very serious and debilitating side effects that some girls have experienced, maybe as a result of the shot. It's not callous; it's the truth of how things work.
Most vaccines (Gardasil included) are harmful to some groups of people. The flu shot has caused seizures and death, so have many others. This isn't the first time a vaccine has been harmful - it's just sad because of the young girls who are affected. The young girls who wanted to be protected against cervical cancer, now have life-altering medical complications.
I urge you all to talk to your doctors and don't relay on internet (and Janak) for valuable information.
Thank you Bella.
As we know everyone is different. We have different activity levels. Some have allergies or sensitivities to certain chemicals.
What I have found is that the most severe girls and I personally know several, all have a history of allergies. Two of the most severe have a history of auto-immune disease in their family.
One of the things that I have found out is that some girls have mild flulike symptoms that just do not go away. What I mean by that is that they are more tired and just not feeling like themselves. This I am finding is common.
As to when side effects can happen I want to reference a girl in the UK Ashley Cave. She started to experience migraines within 45 minutes after receiving her shot, Cervarix (0.5mg aluminum). Spain recalled a batch of their HPV vaccine because two girls were struck down quickly and ended up in the hospital.
Now, I have found that some of the girls symptoms were very sutle in the beginning. Slight headache or body aches or slight nausea but they slowly progress and became more severe.
From everyone that I have spoken with and corresponded with the symptoms seem to start quickly either that day or shortly there after. Many had their symptoms progress from mild to severe in one to two months.
Now another thing.
I mentioned that most girls did not have a reaction after the first shot. That is true.
Many of the girls after the second shot started to have symptoms within about 2 weeks and never finished the series. One girl I know had a history of auto-immune disorder but her doctor gave it to her anyway and now she is disabled and her symptoms started in a couple of days.
There are some girls that had the series and they told me that looking back they started to have mild issues within days after the second shot.
Some girls have had migraines for a year then all of a sudden they started to have seizures. These seizures do not show up on tests because they are non-epileptic seizures.
This is all very new and the doctors and scientists are besides themselves with finding the answer.
I have much of my findings reviewed by a university in the AU. The only problem with that is that the PhD types have a hard time looking outside of the box.
The up side is that the girls I know are having success with a special diet. This diet can be found on the Generation Rescue site. It is a gluten free diet. The downside is that it takes time to see results. This is the only therapy that is working so far. One girl stopped having seizures after being on the diet for a month. Some girls are having accupunture to help with the muscle and body pain with some success.
My suggestion is that you start your daughter on the diet or if you are affected for you to start the diet.
If you decide to continue conventional medicine I have not seen results at all. This is going to have to be your decision.
To finish my suggestion is that if your daughter is having mild symptoms be thankful but start her on the diet. Everyone else start the diet and get a hair sample tested for excess heavy metals.
I am surprised that anyone would "attack" Cynthia Janak when she has probably done more research on this subject than all of our doctors combined and possibly even more than Merck, the FDA and the CDC! If they are researching it, they certainly aren't sharing the results with the affected individuals. I appreciate Cynthia's interest in this subject and I think she has made it clear all along that she is not an expert, just a caring, compassionate person who has devoted an inordinate amount of time trying to find answers about the Gardasil side effects. My 19-yr old daughter had 2 shots and had a severe reaction; it's been a year and a half and she is still experiencing menstrual problems and has precancerous cells (which did not show up in her pap test prior to her receiving the Gardasil shots). I also have questioned why my daughter has suffered, and have wondered (1)if her immune system was compromised at the time of the shots, or (2)if she is allergic to something in Gardasil, or (3)if there was a connection to the fact that she, like many of the other affected girls (but not all), was a competitive athlete from a very early age. At least Cynthia has taken the time to explore these possibilities. Also, I have read and know of many, many girls in their late teens and 20s who have suffered, so I really don't think that the younger girls are necessarily more susceptible; it may be that a greater percentage of them have received the shots (probably covered by their parents' insurance). Also, I personally know of several young girls (in their 20s) who never reported their side effects bc they don't think it will do any good, and/or bc their doctors assure them that their problems are not associated with Gardasil. At any rate, my thanks to Cynthia for caring so much.

Keeser,
I will beg to differ with what you have said about "truth of the matter is that most girls are fine with the vaccine." In the closeout document about Gardasil on the FDA website dated September 11, 2008, it states in a table called "New Medical Conditions" that 73.3% of the participants had a new medical condition in the first year.
I know from experience with the moms of girls effected and young women their doctors are refusing to make any connection to the vaccine even though it is the only factor before symptoms. If the doctors do not report and the girls that are passing away from the vaccine autopsy report comes back unknown you do not contribute it to the vaccine.
What has to happen is a suspension of the vaccine and all doctors and schools should be contacted to find out which of their patients and students have acquired a new medical condition after receiving the shot whether or not the doctor believes it is related to the vaccine.
I want to quote you one more time.
"We are all aware of the very serious and debilitating side effects that some girls have experienced, maybe as a result of the shot. It's not callous; it's the truth of how things work."
This statement makes it obvious that you work for a pharmaceutical company so of course you would say what you did.
It does not have to "work" that way.
I want to inform you of a fact. There is a way to administer a vaccine safely. It is the principle of a bandaide or patch. It is being used today to test flu vaccines. One such patch as been tested at least 37 times. Why has not the pharmaceutical industry taken this to the FDA for approval? The only thing that is present on the patch is the VLP (virus like particle) or the toxiod. It does not contain aluminum, polysorbate80, sodium borate, etc. Because it uses the natural immune response, the VLP or Toxiod will pass the dermis and the body reacts to it naturally and the immunity is longer lasting per studies. This is safe vaccination.
I do not expect everyone to listen to me exactly. I expect for them to do their own research and to educate themselves before making a decison. Also as to just talking to the doctors I beg to differ because the girls that are suffering relied on their doctors and look what happened. Most were never told about the side-effects and many who had pre-existing conditions their doctor knew about were encouraged to get the shot.
There are many documents out there by the FDA, CDC, Merck and independent researchers. Read it all and look at the news reports. Presently, in the UK, 1500 girls are affected after their Cervarix shot. Their program started in the schools in September, 2008.
Make your own decision. I am just a messenger with no conflicts of interest.
Another important point -- my daughter got sick 30 days after her first shot, then recd the second shot bc we had not made the connection between her illness and the shot. Within a day or two after the second shot, her symptoms worsened significantly, and we began to suspect Gardasil. I think there are probably lots of girls who had symptoms after the first/second shots but did not realize what was happening until after they got the second/third shots and their symptoms worsened. I wish the dr's office had asked her a few general questions before administering the second shot. If she had not recd the second shot, it may have saved her from weeks of vomiting, weight loss, pain, etc., and it probably would have lessened the likelihood of permanent damage to her system.
By the way the patch I was talking about is made by Intercell.
Excellent efficacy and safety in humans
The patch has demonstrated excellent efficiency and safety in more than 35 clinical trials. When a VE Patch was combined with an injected seasonal Influenza vaccine in elderly adults an enhanced immune response was noted. That trial demonstrated a seroconversion level similar to those seen in healthy young adults.
A broad application also used in collaboration with partners
At present, the Vaccine Patch is used in-house in the development of a novel Travelers’ Diarrhea vaccine patch about to enter Phase III trials and the Vaccine Enhancement Patch in the development of a pandemic Influenza vaccine patch. In addition, the technology is used in collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc., which uses it to conduct proof-of-principle pre-clinical studies.
There you have it ladies and gents a safe vaccination method.
Wow, what incredible posting today! There are a few things I would like to address..as I have been keeping up with this forum ever since I discovered my own symptoms may have been as a result of the Gardasil shots.
First of all, someone asked/made mention of age: I will be 24 in June and I took the shots early to mid 2007. Therefore, the reactions are NOT only limited to younger gals.
Secondly, this leads into the matter of HOW LONG before reactions occur, and do they only occur within minutes, days, or months...From MY PERSONAL experience, I began having reactions AFTER my THIRD shot (with the exception of arm soreness during the 1st and 2nd shots that was quite severe that I did not want to move my arm and lifting it or anything in that hand was quite painful)..It was about 2-3 months after the third shot that I started feeling generally bad, from flu-like symptoms to being very tired and nauseous. At this time, I did not think of the shot being related. Late 2007, I decided to come off Orthotricyclen Birth Control pills, thinking that perhaps I had been taking them for too long (7 years) and perhaps I would feel better coming off. This was not the case. In fact, within 2-3 months, I began breaking out in rashes that started out occuring only at night while I was trying to sleep on my feet and hands, to spreading to my legs and arms over time. As they spread, randomly might I ad, they also lost their itchiness. I found this so strange. Then I started to notice I was getting sick (flu-like), every couple of weeks, and the more I'd take standard cold medication (i.e. tylenol severe cold and a few others), I would break out more, almost like an allergic reaction. I began noticing a lot of other issues, which would come and go randomly also, like hearing/vision issues, particularly watering and burning eyes, strange appetites where I'd feel very hungry and couldn't eat much or get very nauseous at the site or smell of food, aching joints especially when it's cold or I lay too long from being tired, extreme exhaustion (i mean extreme; needing naps about every 3-5 hours), lack of focus and concentration, very bad memory loss (i.e. trouble remember someone's name for several minutes, or in the middle of a sentence forget what i'm saying), among dozens of other symptoms I have posted here before. I am continuing to have these symptoms, among others, and have been to a few doctors that outright ignore the possibility of my issues being related to Gardasil. I would also like to mention that I am and have always been overweight, even though I do exercise and eat pretty healthy; I only have an allergy background of being bit by an ant at about 8 years old and reacting with hives; and I have gained massive amounts of weight during these symptoms, as well as, developed a very bad case of shortness of breath. My father and sister both had/have asthma, but I never have been diagnosed with asthma even though I was checked for it as a kid because it ran in my family. However, the last Dr. visit I had, the Dr. asked if I had a history of asthma. Brain fog/concetration has been such a big issue, because I am normally an Honor's List student at a local University, but my grades have dropped from A's-B's down to D's and F's.
I hope this helps with answering some questions. My sister is an analytical chemist for Metrics Pharma and I am going to ask her to if she can do a hair test for me. I also want to ask my next Dr. visit to test my testosterone levels.
I would also like to mention that since my shots I have had minor blood work done and it came back with high cholesterol (which was there before the shot, and runs in my family, despite the fact that I naturally live a low fat/low cholest diet), and also, interestingly, I had a high red blood cell platelet count. I tried looking this up (since my doc made no mention of this and I did not know until i retrieved copies of my record), but I could not find anything on this except it is related to clotting. I am concerned about this because clotting can lead to many things and when combined with high cholesterol this cannot be good. Does anyone know how Gardasil has affected blood counts and platelet counts??
Thanks and I hope this helps.
Oh yes--I would also like to mention I did NOT have any other vaccines or any shots whatsoever along with Gardasil. Also, my main deciding point of taking the shot was because my sister had already had it for over 6mo-1year before I decided and she had no side effects at that point. Now, over a year and a half later, she has been having bad itchy breakouts when she takes a shower. They are big round bumps that itch and only occur in the shower---she has checked her body wash, even tested the water, has the same reaction no matter whether she is in my shower or hers ( we live 2 hours apart), and she too has gained a lot of weight despite diet and exercise.
I have also encountered 2 other girls, one is a waitress at a diner I go to with my mom, another is my sister-in-law, so no blood relation to either of these girls. They both took all 3 shots. My sister-in-law took the shots at the exact same time I did, in fact, we had appointments together. Both of these girls have had "female" issues with their reproductive organs of which I have no details, but they have also gained a lot of weight and they are both very thin fragile looking girls. The waitress is almost age 18, my sis-in-law is almost 19. My sister is almost 27. My sister has always been very active (she hikes, plays softball, very tom-boy activities since she was young); my sis-in-law and the waitress have not been active at all the past 5-6 years or more, but as young girls they were very active; I even remember my sis-in-law at age 11 having a 6 pack and weighed about 90 pounds at about 5'.
Anyhow, this is just what I've encountered in person. I have SEEN the effects, from break outs to a "bloated" look and we all 4 girls have gained weight, from 20-50 pounds and gone up 3-4 sizes each.
I have only encountered 1 other girl in person who has taken the shot and she has had NO side effects and it has been over a year now. However, she is average size and is NOT active. I am inclined to believe that the TESTOSTERONE levels have something to do with this as Cynthia suspects--I am going to get tested as soon as I can.
My daughter has been sick for almost two years now. She received all 3 of the shots.
The doctor tested her Testosterone level (to make the diagnosis of PCOS) and it was twice what it should be. She never had a problem with it before.
A. Moore,
I am so sorry that you and the people you care about are going through this.
Everything you have mentioned is typical of all the girls and young women I have met.
The only symptom that you have not mentioned is headaches. Everyone that I know that is affected like you have headaches. They go from mild to migraines.
You mentioned clotting and I am concerned. I want you to go to my website
www.cynthiajanak.com and go to the Gardasil page. Scroll down until you find my article about Polysorbate80 and Histidine. This will explain that connection to the vaccine.
Then I would like you to go to my contact page and send me a private email because we need to talk.
My 14 yr. old previously healthy daughter had only one shot. Shortly after flu-like symptoms and stomach and body pain developed. 2 mos. later seizures started. The Dr. says since it was 2 mos. later it could not be from the shot. BS...
I read the brochure at the clinic it said one reaction was "fainting" nothing there about seizures I would have stopped right there if I had read that. The nurse was so convincing "she had 9 year old twins receive the shots and no problems" now I have a seriously ill precious daughter, I am so depressed about all this, and a stack of medical bills with bill collectors calling constantly. You go to Mercks site and you can't even send an email. Heck I had a muffler put on my car and it wasn't right--they put a new one on the same day. What is going on here? I took her to a well known Childrens hospital with the top neurologist and all he could do was shake his head every time I mentioned the vaccine. We need answers this is not right. The Drs. are protecting the drug makers. what happened to the honest, compassionate Drs. who really care? Meanwhile my daughter is depressed too and her grades are down. Our world sucks right now but they keep pushing the vaccine. We need answers and Merck need held accountable for this. I wish I could turn back time......
Of course people affected by Gardasil are going to agree with Janak, because they've got no other place to turn, and as of now it seems the only one who is doing her "research"..but please...there are other answers out there. Don't rely on her. Look further.

Of course you people believe her because none of you are scientists. Or maybe you want to believe her because her answer makes sense to you. I beg you to look at this article. I'm obviously no scientist either, but there are others out there who reject her theories.

Concerned mother,
Thank you for finding that blog. I want everyone to read it. Once you have read it please go to my website
www.cynthiajanak.com click on Gardasil and scroll down to the article named Truthfulness in reporting. Then go to Polysorbate80 and histidine, a marriage of disaster. This is the article he was referencing.
I have no conflict of interest in my research but you will find on this blog that there is a conflict of interest as I prove that in my article Truthfulness in reporting."
Concerned Mother, with your constant attacks about my credibility makes me wonder who you really are.
Also I would like to state again please do not only read what I have written. Please do your own research and educate yourselves to the truth.
Cynthia,
You should know the way I found his blog was through your very own "Truthfullness in Reporting"
I've read yours and I've read his.
Concerned Mother,
There's no use arguing. Her beliefs can't be changed. She keeps saying for people to do their own research yet she keeps pushing her "opinions" on people, saying this is why the girls got sick, etc. Leave it be and move on. Someone will prove her wrong, it's just a matter of time. It will be a scientist or a doctor, much like the one who wrote the blog against her.
Do any of you guys on here know how soon after receiving Gardasil to get hair tested for aluminum?
I was reading the comments on aluminum and I've had all three shots with no reactions. When I see the doctor next should I ask for aluminum poisoning testing, or is that unneccessary? any help...please?!
"I'm also adding a new request for folks who write in. I've started getting comments posted by girls and women who say they haven't had a problem or only had a little soreness from the vaccine. To those people I ask, how did you find this site? I'm really curious to find out how the word is beginning to reach people who haven't had a problem. Please share where/how did you hear that there's an issue?"
I don't remember how I found out about it exactly. I think a few months after my third shot I came across an article about Gardasil and adverse reactions. That scared me so I started Googling Gardasil and found the site.
Wow! That's a lot of comments in a short time.
I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of some ground rules for this blog.
While It is ok to disagree with someone else, I ask that insults and attacks be kept to a minimum.
As a general rule, most of the folks writing in don't have degrees in science, don't have degrees in medicine, and don't work in formal scientific research.
People do try to share what they learn by reading.
If you disagree with someone, feel free to say you disagree, why you disagree, and if possible include links to sources of information.
If you are providing information, try to explain where you got your information and whether it is the accepted view of the traditional, peer-reviewed scientific community (e.g., does the FDA recognize it, was it published in the Journal of the AMA or Lancet, will your health insurance company pay for it) or if it is the view of an alternative group.
Everyone should remember that sometimes alternative groups are right and traditional medicine is wrong; sometimes traditional medicine is right and alternative groups are wrong; and sometimes no one knows who is right. If you know whose opinion you're getting, you can apply your own judgment about which side you think is right more often.
Thanks, -k
Question? Is anyone aware of any physicians or scientist that do see there is a need for studies done on these girls? If so please let me know because I would love for my daughter to be a part of such research or study. She is 17 and continues to have tonic clonic seizures. I hope someone in the professional community will step up and make something good and knowledge for the future come from all this illness to our girls.
I just got my 1st shot today! And I saw this website afterward! I am so scared right now! What do I do? I am 26 yrs old, 5'6", 138lbs. I have being having headaches, but I am not sure I was having it before I took the shot or after. Right after the shot, I feel little bit hard to breath and I've being having this headache through out the day. After look at all these feedbacks, I am so scared and I really regretting about listening to my dr. to take the shot. Is it ok for me to stop taking the 2nd and 3rd shot? I want to know that are these serious side effect these girls got permanent? or short term? OMG, I am just so afraid right now!
Dear Rain,
I understand well what could be your stress after having read this BUT it is much more worse never knowing anything about this huge medical scandale!
Why? Because it has be shown that serious side effects have much more chance occur after the booster shots than after the first alone. That doesn't mean of course that there isn't any possible serious side effect after the first shot but simply that:
MORE dosis you got, MORE important is the risk for your health!
It's the same process when you are playing at the lottery: more you play, more you have chances losting everything you have (with the capital difference that here, health is less easy to get back than money!!!)
You could answer me than if you have more chance of losting everything, you would maybe have more chances winning too BUT the scientific studies that have analyzed the incidence of the HPV strains 6,11, 16 and 18 (so the strains that are included in Gardasil)have shown that, in the US, these strains were only implicated in 2,3% of all contaminations with HPV (wich is a virus declined in more than an hundred different strains....)
The pseudo benefits of such vaccines are, for this reason, neglectable! Itsn't worth!
The side effects you described are clearly linked to Gardasil: headaches, difficulties of breathing, etc etc
That's not surprizing when you know what kind of compounds are included in this vaccine....
Aluminium (225 µg), polysorbate, SODIUM BORATE (also called "borax" wich is a virulent poison used for killing rats and insects!)
The side effects are very variable: it could be death, paralysis, difficulties of breath, blood clot, thrombosis, inflammation of the pelvis, appendicitis, ovarian cysts, amenhorrea, headaches, arthritis, etc An important percentage of the cases can be permanent and that is the reason for wich I strongly advise you being careful and more of all: BE AWARE THAT YOUR DOCTOR IS NOT THE MOST INFORMED PERSON FOR PROVIDING YOU THE RIGHT INFORMATION!
MEDICAL DOCTORS ARE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY WHO PAYS FOR PHYSICIAN'S "PERMANENT EDUCATION"!
The better way is informing you on your own, through crossing your sources in order to reach this so crucial objectivity needed in this so sensible matter that is health!
Good luck!
Thank you so much for your response. I am definitely not taking the 2nd and 3rd shot. I've always being careful with drugs and vaccines, don't know why I rush into this vaccine this time. I just trusted my doctor too much. I called the dr. today and told them about my symptoms. They brought me in immediately and did a check on me. My symptoms are definitely caused by gardisil. He proscripted me two allergy medicines and advise me not to take the shots anymore. I am very frustrated of why they still recommend me to take the vaccine after knowing I am severely allergic to penicillin and sulfa. I am so terrified right now, I just got married last year and we are getting ready to start having babies. I can only pray that this 1 shot will not affect me much, and let me live a healthy life. God bless us all!!!!!!
My daughter's got all three vaccine's at the same time.with their first one they got booster vaccine everything was fine second vaccine also fine, then the last one my oldest 16 at the time did great but my youngest who had just turned 13 started getting chest pain,stomach pain,fevers and so fatigued she couldn't get out of bed.This all started 8/08 right after the thrird shot. I would bring her to the DR. they would say a cold,a bug going around school everthing but NO ANSWERS.From8/08 till around 12/08 when I caught the end of a news program about guardasil and it's side effects I had NO clue of any of this going on. I called the Dr.because all the test she had ran before came back normal & I wanted to see what she thaught about it being a side effect she looked at me like I had three heads.So back in forth to her for months still nothing until my daughter passes out and hits her head now we'er at the er I told everyone that would listen what I thought was causing all of this that's on a saturday they did blood work & cat scan told us follow up with your Dr. monday so we did.Dr. orders mri eeg & now is sending ug to specialist and has pulled my daughter out of school until further notice.I have noticed since she has be home when she is not feeling well her puples are very large. Has anyone else noticed that? Thank You All for reading this to all you MOM &DAD's one of us WILL FINED A DR. & SHARE IT WITH EACH OTHER
Can someone tell me why Merck cannot not be responsible for the cost of helping these girls lead normal lives? It has been 9 months since my daughter had the injection, her life is not normal, she is fainting , has no energy, leg and muscle pains, stomach cramping and horrible reactions to most food that have caused her to eliminate gluten, eggs, corn, lactose, yeast, vinegar, soy, malt, sugars from her diet. She was a competitive elite athlete and now she can barely move. She has insomnia and cannot sleep. She has become depressed and feels that life is not worth living. She has had every test imaginable - I think.Any referrals for detoxing and getting this out of the system are appreciated. Any good attorneys that can file a class action law suit?
So i just got my first shoot of the HPV sires.
my side effects were dizziness and a little nausea and head ache. at first!!.. not my vagina area is really ichy. it feels all raw. or what ever.. and (kinda gross) but i looked well tried to .. and it looks like i have tiny little cuts...
im 17. and not sexually active so idk whats up
i am 12 years old and i had my injection (hpv)i get dizzy and i get headache than i faint!. i ahve been faiting like 9th time and they are all next to each other like every week! and the amblucance know me as person casue i faint a lot and while i am unconcisous i have diffuclity speaking than i get full better like an 1hr i be unconsios about 20 sometimes 40 mins or 30,
sooooooo i am really scared casue the docters dont know whats wrog with me however they have done lots of test which i appercitate that with them they do help alot but i just answer.
I am a public health nurse and have given the Gardasil vaccine to many girls. Usually the only side effect reported after receiving this is soreness at the injection site. A few girls have fainted, but this is really not uncommon after any vaccine, especially for teens. Even teen boys receiving other vaccines, not Gardasil, have been known to faint or feel a little dizzy after getting a shot. No serious side effects have been reported by our patients.
One person posted the question "Why are doctors not getting this vaccine?" My answer to that is that the vaccine is only licensed to be given to girls between the ages of 9 and 26, ideally before the age of sexual activity for best protection. I am 24 and have received the vaccine myself with absolutely no problems. I still recommend it.
Hi everyone,
I would like to add my two cents.
I am 22 and received my first Gardasil shot on 4/13/2009 upon my OBGYN's recommendation during my annual check up. Right after I got my shot, however, I decided to do some more research on this vaccine and discovered many negative side effects regarding this vaccine. I am now completely paranoid of my health and regret getting Gardasil without conducting a thorough research.
I have not noticed severe side effects yet except slight flu-like symptoms on the day of the injection, a minor diarrhea, soreness around the injection site, and some tensions on the shoulder area. But who knows what is going to happen since many symptoms don't seem to occur until days, weeks, and even months later!!!!
I talked to my internal medicine doctor today. I simply asked her "What is your opinion on HPV Vaccine?" without giving her any background or expressing my concerns re. Gardasil. She basically told me it would be a good idea to receive the Gardasil since it would protect me from a few popular HPV strains that could lead to a cervical cancer. She also told me her oldest daughter has already gotten it and her younger daughter is planning to get one soon.
Once I explained that there has been increased number of females suffering from the HPV vaccine side effects, she seemed a bit surprised, as her oldest daughter is doing fine after completing all 3 shots. She told me that almost all vaccine contains a form of aluminum, L-histidine, and sodium borate - not just Gardasil. And dizziness, vomiting, weakness, nausea, pyrexia, numbness, tingling feelings, Guillian-Barre Syndrome, and etc have also been historically linked to any vaccination, including the flu shot. Basically, she told me any vaccination can impose danger.
I still don't feel comfortable with Gardasil and WILL NOT complete my series. (My internal medicine doctor told me not completing my HPV vaccine series should not be detrimental to my body - but I will have to start from the first dose again if I decide to restart my vaccination series.)
Just for confirmation, I am going to see a different OBGYN in a few days. I will post updates on what she says regarding Gardasil.
Let's just hope that everyone will regain/remain with a good health. God bless everyone!!!!
age: 17
your weight category: thin
anything you're allergic to: none
whether the reaction came with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd shot: 1st and 2nd
what other vaccines you had at the same time: none
I had my first jab a month ago. My arm immediately became stiff and hard to move. I thought that was normal but that night I also suffered from dizzy spells and nausea which did concern me.
When I went to the nurse for the second jab the other day I recalled these symptoms to her and she shrugged them off. The second jab too caused the same effects.
My daughter was 9 years old when she started taking the Gardasil vaccine back in February 2008. Since she's been taking this vaccine her side effects aren't has worst as most of yours. However, I've noticed her hair texture has changed and has fallen out. She also has a very bad acne problem. Sometimes she get headaches but not to often. I'm a parent who wouldn't recommend this vaccine to anyone. I also think that it should be given to those persons whose families where it's beneficial and hereditary. Giving this vaccine to little girls seem to be doing more harm than good.
aaah,
im having my third dose tommorow and am really worried, am am wondering if, beacuase i had no reaction to the first two except for slight pain in my arm and dizzyness. i didnt really consider it a reaction. thanks guys, at least if i now have a reaction it is not abnormal! btw i am 14
Hi. My name is Robin I am 15. I had my first shot in May of 2007. It went fine my arm was sore and I was sick for a week then I was okay. I had my second shot in July. Around November I started getting sick, lost my appetite, shaking, lightheaded, almost passing out. We got really scared. We didn't know what it was so I got my third shot and it just got worse. We have been going to the doctor since January of 2009 and they still don't know what it is. After reading some of these comments I am afraid to see what the doctors find. I just went to the doctor April 20, and they want me back the 28 to do an ultrasound of my ovaries to see if I have a anything there.
My daughter had the shot in Dec. 2006. They did not have her sit after the shot and she fainted. She ended up in the ICU Neurological unit that night and 6 days in the hospital. She fractured her skull, had a bleed in her frontal and rear lobe and split open her head. She has lost her sense of smell and has dealt with frequent headaches that have turned into migranes. She also seems to get sick a lot more, I was wondering about the reports of it affecting their auto immune system.

I was given the HPV vaccine going on two years ago and my life has never been the same. I used to be a very very healthy and active person, but not anymore.
Now I suffer from SEVERE migraines and chemical sensitivities. I can't be around anything with any sort of scent anymore because I will get an immediate migraine, become dizzy, and nauseous.
I now have a REALLY hard time concentrating in school and have to wear ear plugs and sit away from all my classmates, just to keep focused.
Almost every time I stand up my eyes go black.... like I almost faint or something.... it's a really weird feeling and I have to stand there for a second before I can see properly again.... this also sometimes happens when I simple turn my head too fast.
I've always gotten motion sick, but this seems to have gotten a lot worse since having gotten the vaccine.
I was also recently diagnosed with Raynaud's disease.... something I never had problems with before I got the vaccine either. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/raynauds-disease/DS00433
I have had 3 MRI's a CAT scan and an EEG and everything is normal... so they say, but I KNOW SOMETHING IS UP!
I am now on anti-seizure meds. to help me deal with the migraines and sensitivities to smells, but just 3 years ago, there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. Nothing else other than the vaccine has changed since I got the shots.
does anybody know if these side effects from vaccines eventually go away.... like can your body eventually bring itself back to normal? or will i most likey be stuck this way forever?

Here is what a professor of medicine had already to say, in 1899:
"Vaccination is a monstrosity, a misbegotten offspring of error and
ignorance, it should have no place in either hygiene or medicine...Believe not in vaccination, it is a world-wide delusion, an unscientific practise, a fatal superstition with consequences measured today by tears and sorrow without end."
Professor Chas Rauta, University of Perguia, Italy , (New York Medical Journal July 1899)

I'v wrote about my duaghter Nikki 13 she is still getting side efeects,we've had eeg's,mri's,sleep studies,cat scans,& she is having a 24hr.eeg done next month.she has been out of shool almost 2 months.i've been to ever sight that has anything to do with this shot,i was told to call gardasil and i did they took our name ,address,phone&dr.name then connected me to the mercick company they also took info & asked if i could get the word out for people to call. i will not sign any paperwork if they ask but i do think the more of us that call that something will HAVE TO BE DONE FOR OUR GIRLS I just want my baby to live her life again. THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU &IF ANYONE GETS ANY ANSWERS PLEASE LET US ALL KNOW
Im 5'2, 150 lbs, and I have no allergies- I got the 1st shot today upon the advice of my doctor. After it was given I turned white, passed out and lost control of my bladder. I had to be placed in a chair with monitoring and an iv. This had never happened to me before, I'm healthy and never affected by pills or shots in a negative way. I pray that more side effects dont show up down the road. I WILL NOT BE GETTING THE 2nd SHOT
My daughter had her first shot and she is going crazy. She has mood swings out of this world, she is depressed, angry for no reason and I was wondering what was wrong with her until it finally hit me. Before the shot she was into soccer and doing well. Since the first shot, she has quit soccer because she can not handle being around people. She is very snappy about everything. I do not think I am going to get her the second shot. She also is experiencing alot of hair lost. I can not seem to find side effects that are clear and to the point. I can only go by what my daughter is experiencing. She does not even want to go out to the mall. What is up with this? If anyone else is experiencing the same thing, please let me know, this would help. I am just not sure about his vaccine, but I notice that they are giving it to teenagers left and right.
I recieved the first shot for this vaccine about a week ago. The day I got the vaccine my left leg felt numb and tingly. For the last week I have been extremely ill. I'm weak, can hardly eat, have huge headaches, and am nauseaus. I was looking up side effects to find out what was wrong and found this site. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow. NO MORE shots.
Damn, I have two daughters, 16 & 18. At their last Dr. visit, they told me I needed to get the girls Gardisil. I told them NO, and proceeded to take a lot of crap from the Drs. They asked me why, and I told them that I thought the pharm. co. and the govt. were trying to push this down peoples throats, and no long term studies had been done, that there were so many drugs out there that were touted as "miracles", and then a couple years down the road, they are nightmares. I also was one of the first kids in the US to receive the Polio vac, before it was perfected, and got polio from it - so I am distrustful. The Doctors tried to make me look foolish about it, but I am sooo glad that I stood my ground and would not allow my girls to get this poison. Thank you
my daughter has just had the gardsail vaccine today and within 2 mins had a seizure and fainted. she has never fainted before so its def linked to the vaccine, she only had this vaccine. she now feels very poorly and weak
My daughter received the first shot of Gardisol April 1,2009. She also received one for menningitis and tetanus at the same time. Exactly a month later, she started to lose her hair in wads! It is now 5 weeks later, and she has lost 1/3 to 1/2 of her hair! And there is no sign of it stopping. She had had an extremely itchy scalp with dandruff which she has never had, and many large acne type pimlples on her face. She is afraid of being totally bald by the time school starts in Sept. It is way too much of a coincidence for this to happen out of the blue after having these shots. We have been to our regular GP and a dermatologist and neither one thought there was any connection.....She is definitely not having any further shots!
on 06/30/2009 My daughter had a scheduled visit for a routine physical.My daughter is 17yr,she was due for her tetnus,menitgis and hep B and was advise to get the HPV as well,with in a few minutes after recieving all four shots the she fainted with in 2 minutes she fell face down off of the observation table and busted her lip open and has a large bump above her brow and bridge of her noise is swollen,her front teeth and gums sore and pain full from the direct fall on her face,I was advised that she may have been dehydrated,and this is common and was told that this happens at least once a month with teens in this office, she will not be recieving any additional shots for HPV. Who can this be reported too.A friend of mine advised me about 2 other teens who suffered long term effects of this.
Hi, I am from Nottingham, England. We have just recieved a letter home from the school where my 14year old daughter goes about these vaccinations. I had read nothing about these vaccinations at that time, however after reading the letter (which is from our National Health Service) the first thing that struck me was that it doesn't state any side effects and pretty much says that there is nothing to worry about and personally left me feeling that to NOT have the vaccine would be irresponsible. Also on the permission form with the letter there is a statement that says ultimately the decision lies with my daughter! My gut reaction was that there was too little information so onto the web I went...firstly all the English governmental type health sites stated virtually no side effects and basically were saying what a fantastic breakthrough etc. This really started to worry me as its almost like there's a massive cover up although I didn't know whether there was anything to cover up. So I took a different avenue and went to some forums. OMG. The truth finally starts coming out. One site that hit home was an english student forum where they talk amongst themselves and one of the topics was the HPV Vaccination, it reads similar to this site. My daughter is tall but slim and I'm afraid I'm going with my gut feeling and not letting her have the vaccination. I don't think we are being told the truth. Again and again I'm reading that these reactions 'are nothing to do with the vaccination' it doesn't wash with me. We don't know the long term effects and I don't think enough is known about the side effects (or if it is it is being covered up). It is such a difficult decision to make but we still don't know if it's going to work! Good luck to everyone out there, I hope I don't regret my decision one day. But to you all suffering at the moment hang on in there!
My daughter finished her series of shots 4/08. At the time she was 12. Her problems started in Nov. 08. These are her symptoms: headaches, motion sicknes, difficulty breathing when exercising, tingling fingers when exercising, sensitive to certain smells, etc. She is an active girl who likes to run but is having a hard time...it seems to be progressing. She was first diagnosed with exercise induced asthma and when no medications worked she was referred to a pulminologist. They tested her for allergies and couldn't find any (she is allergic to dogs & cats, molds and grasses) The positive marker they give you w? allery tests didn't even welt?? She is now going to have an EEG but I have a feeling that this too will be normal. It feels like we are at a dead end here. Something today rang a bell in my head and made me start to think of the Gardisil shot and its symptoms. Is there anyone else out there that is also experiencing shortness of breath (asthma type symptons)? Any thought would be appreciated.
Yesterday morning I went to Planned Parenthood and got the HPV vaccination. I don't have a doctor where I live, she is 40 miles away. So I got the HPV shot over a year and a half ago or more and did fine. But yesterday was my second one and it didn't go so well...at all! Im seventeen years old and weigh 120 lbs., anemic and currently on my muenstral cylce. When the nurse gave me the shot she said it would hurt,and I may get dissy, I remember what it felt like it did hurt but I wasn't that worried at the time. I didn't black out or faint my body constricted and my eyes rolled into the back of my head, shaking and sweating my whole shirt was drenched. After I came to a little I told the nurse to call my dad tell him what happen and my boyfriend who was currently there would frive me to the ER , cause we cant afford an ambulance ride. So we were going to leave but I started gatting hot and my hands and feet were cold and tingly, about to go into another episode, the nurse said to breathe slow and put my head in between my knees and i started coming to again but i was cold from the sweat and Planned Parenthood call an EMT. My dad was waiting at the ER not knowing what was going on he called my Boyfriend and he came to planned parenthood. The EMT said I freaked and blackout because of needles but they were going to put me on the stretcher i stood up and puked i did not want to move and there it went again i started getting hot my hands and feet were cold and tingly and then my neck got really hot and stiff in complete pain all around my body. Still my dad released me from going to the ER in the ambulance. But for 3 hours after I got the shot I was puking and my head would hurt everytime I got out of bed but it was more of a tigle in my head. After all that I felt like I had the flu, with body sores, and tired. Today I feel better but still kind of nauseous and dehydrated. I'm not getting my third shot, im never putting that crap in my body EVER again
I blacked out, had difficulty breathing, dizziness, and blurry eyesight straight after getting the vaccine. I am afraid of needles so I expected to feel a bit ill, but I felt totally fine during the procedure and was relieved to get it over with and actually be OK. However, when the needle was actually out and I was let go I immediately started feeling ill upon leaving the room. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the vaccine, but from around that time I started having major problems with my left knee to the point of it sometimes buckling under me. This started to happen within the same week that I got the first dosage of the vaccine. I did not continue to get the rest of the course.
Age: 21
Weight: 45kg, thin.
Other Allergies: Penicillin, strawberries in large amounts
Reaction came after the 1st shot. I did not get the rest.
Other vaccines at the same time: none
(I made a mistake in the above comment. At the time I got the vaccine I was 19 years old. I am 21 now)
I have 3 children 2 of them are pre-teen girls 11 & 12. 2 days ago my 12 yr old had a sports physical and hep A shot, my 11 yr old had tdap, menactra, and hep a. My youngest was extremely nervous about needing 3 shots. Between tdap and menactra she said she was feeling like she would pass out. After the 2nd shot we let her lay down for a min. or 2. Sat her back up to give her hep a. While the nurse was giving her the final shot her head started bobbing her eyes rolled back in her head (thankfully I was standing next to her holding her hand) I layed her back on the table at which time her eyes fully dilated, she started shaking, her back and shoulders arched and her mouth started foaming. I'm sure it only lasted a few seconds and not the life time it felt like, but the fear that she had just turned into that extremely rare stat. of a child that dies from a common immunization as well as the way her face looked, will never leave me! How do you describe the absolute terror that you feel seeing this happen to your child? Was it a seizure? The PA we saw that day said yes and 5 min later said no. It was just her extremely nervous reaction to getting shots! I'm not looking to blame anyone, these are side effects I knew could happen. But don't tell me seizure and then say "no. She was just very nervous." The nurse wanted us to do Gardasil and I had intended on both of them getting it, but he wasn't sure if it was covered by our ins. and I wasn't willing to risk having to pay the $300 a shot if it wasn't. After what happened with regular shots and finding out that seizures are a risk with Gardasil, there is no way I will ever give them this vaccine!! Last year when my 12 yr old went in for the same exam my 11 yr old had this week, the Dr. was very pushy trying to convince me to give it to her. I refused, said I wanted to talk w/my reg. Dr. first. Will this turn into another one of those drugs that is pulled off the market because too many girls have died or suffered perm. damage? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm not willing to take the risk of seeing something like what happend to her ever happen again. Or worse, her death. Research and decide for yourself. Don't take just one Dr. advice. If your having annual pap smears that continue to come back normal, give yourself some time to see what is going to happen with this drug.
My daughter got the HPV in July,2008..about 4 min after receiving it..she fainted. It looked like if she was having a seizure as she went down...I was horrified! She started to tell me she was getting very nauseus and by the time I turned around she went down and hit the floor very hard! She since then been feeling the dizziness, etc...I'm so sick to my stomach reading all these posts...I wish I would have done some investigating prior...but I know for sure both my daughters won't be back for the second, third shots! Dr tried to tell me she fainted because of her watching the nurse give my other daughter her shot...I knew this was too weird!!!! After reading this I don't know what to do...I wish I knew how long these side effects will last!...My daughter was very healthy up until after receiving this shot...I wish we could all get together and file something against the makers of this horrible vaccine...anyone please help me with this worrying...I feel horrible that I gave my permission for my daughter's to get this...I don't even know what to do now!
My girlfriend is 26 years old. She recieved the HPV vaccine sometime last year and had no side effects. In april she had a seizure and had a number of tests completed including a 48 hr EEG that all came back normal. The DR cleared her last Monday saying he thought she was fine, and yesterday she had her second seizure while at my house. I must tell you it was the scariest moment of my life. There are a couple things in common with her seizures, one that she had drank the night before both times, and two both times she had just started her period. Also, the month after her first seisure she experiences some twitching during her period. I am now wondering if this has something to do with the vaccine she got last year. Does anyone have any similar experiences? Can anyone help?
My oldest received her 3 shot series when she was 18, 3 years ago - no proplems with the injections.
My younger daughter had the two of the three shot series, fainting in the arms of a nurse as she went to check out. They did not ask her to stay seated for 15 minutes like they did with the first and she didn't think about it. She was probably about 5'5" and 112 lbs at the time. She never went back for her third.
Here is why I am now worried. Her older sister, who had the complete series, called me in hysterics this morning after getting a call from her campus Wellness Center. They told her that her pap showed a high number of lesions and she is going in for a COPO on Friday.
They were unaware that she had under gone the Guardasil series. I called the center and spoke to the nurse for the details. The nurse told me another girl approximately the same age as my daughter and having had the the Guardasil series at the same age was in this week with the same issue. She, too, will be undergoing the same diagnostic treatment as my daughter.
My daughter had her last pap in 2007, a year after her Guardasil series. She was told that being sexually unactive negated having to have a regular pap.
This is all so troubling and has just happened since this morning and it's now 5:00 pm. I am at work in a daze, making plane reservations for my daughter's Friday procedure. She goes to school 14 hours from home.
Thankyou for starting this comment page. I am definately not letting my 12 year old twins have the vaccine.
I am concerned as the permission form from their school states that they are legally responsible for taking the injection. Is this legal!!; as parents are legally responsible for them until 18yrs old.
I would appreciate some advice.

I went and had this vaccine in march... never. ever. again. I had a seizure and almost choked to death on my own vomit in the nurses office apparently i fainted and hit my head on a table then started to jerk like i was epileptic or something. now i get problems in my knees, fainting episodes and have this permanant rash and you know what? after that they blamed it on me and said it was just because i was nervous well hell no i wasn't nervous i was perfectly calm. I've had it with the government.
Im 15 i live in England and we had our first round today.
My friend fainted and has had very high temp all day.
Me and 3 friends have all had our entire arms tingling/unable to move them/ and they hurt alot.

Hi
If Gardasil the HPV Vaccine was pushed on the market
sounds illegal by some sort of measures unknown
what will stop them from having it appear to be legal when they mandate it and use it on boys
they have to force it down the publics throat as very positive because if they knew it was going active
The public would be aware/internation crime that is terrorist activity/Somehow but truth indeed it is gardasil the HPV Vaccine cannot be legal in the first place /the tests are what make it legal/ other than their is no acquired immunity to warts/ you cannot make an acquired immunity /If you can never catch that disease again then that is acquired immunity/you can always get anouther wart /stated by all who remove the HPV that is a wart
I will not watch the slow spread and growth of the four most dangerous strains of HPV .OK
what is the capability of the four most dangerous strains going active in the body cavity/unknown
unknown
future disabled, deformed, constant cutting out of growths inside the body cavity, calapse
black out, airbornee,, those who caused it are infected whith these periodic mental destability as on acid the drug/DANGER
The HPV vaccine 'Gardasil' will eventually be airbornee those who do not get it get it anyway
HPV vaccine known as Gardasil and cervarix
how long does it tke for you no notice a wart or how slow does it grow or the side effects are really the virus going active as the complants get worse or happen a year later/
Innate immunity is the correct answer the strength for the body to flush it out as a toxin
and in excresions/ as IVsolution intrvenous can flush out at the cellular level
Merck has been bought by MICROSOFT
stocks or something in 2009
Microsoft has some control in MERCK
I had gotten my 14yr old the HPV vac. @ the reccommendation of my Dr. and she has had all three.... There after every time she gets a cut or anything else her what should be little white scars are huge, red keloid scars. They are as big as leaches on her body, i have taken her to doctor after dr. and everyone of them say the same thing.... "i have not heard anything bad about the Guardasil Vac." am i just crazy. or what?
I am so worried, my daugther aged 12, very healthy child before vaccine, had her first hpv vaccine on 17th sep 09, her arm ached after. Later that day she was extremely fatigued and had a non stop headache that hasn't stopped. She is extremely pale and weak and has no strength in her legs, her knees will barely bend. She is also feverish. The doctor did a blood test, which came back as her white blood count being raised. They won't admit the vaccine caused her symptoms. I just want my fit daugther back and am terrifed she is going to get worse. If Erin reads this please could you let me know how you found out about the vaccine being in the body for 3 months? I have asked so many people to tell me this and no one had the answer. I just want it out of her. I am 100% not taking her back for the next 2 vaccines. I am horrified and so sad at all the side effects other people have felt. I wish I had done my research prior to signing the consent form, as I would have opted out. I deeply regret letting her get the vaccine, I feel like my daugther and all these other girls are being treated like guinea pigs. No one either can confirm the long term side effects. I am a nervous wreck worrying about it all. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated, so sorry for all those ill from it.
i feel for your daughter and i wish there was something i could do... i like you didnt read up on the HPV and now i am going to get the word out on fowarding emails and myspace i know it sounds trivial but anything will help. i do believe our girls are being treated like guinea pigs and it is so unfair they should of tested the shot more in the lab before releasing it 's harm on all of the children.
Hi again, just heard a 14 year old girl died after the HPV vaccine. I am over in the UK, they have changed the name here from gardisil to cervavix, I think to put off people being scared by reports in the States. It's just awful for all these ill girls. My daughters legs are still weak, she's at a dance school and now can't dance! I am pushing to get it recalled here, and trying to put off as many people as I can. No doubt they will try to blame this girls death on something else, other than the jab!
Hello again from England. Just to let you all know that the girl that died is said to have had underlying serious problems - I'm sure we are all just shocked and stunned that they have issued that statement, we didn't see that one coming did we? - I do wonder what her parents think though, I'm sure all our hearts go out to them. I thought that the vaccinations at my daughters school would be suspended until more information was known about this death but they went ahead as arranged (without my daughter of course). She tells me that one girl fainted and many others feel very poorly. She was fine not having the vaccination despite her class 'mates' telling her that she was going to die because she hasn't had it?? NICE! Also her form tutor told her that it could save her life (I wonder if she would so pushy if it was her daughter - if she even had kids!!!) Apparently the Cervarix that is used over here was chosen because it is cheaper and lasts longer - how the hell can they know that? As I have stated before I hope that I/we are proved wrong about these vaccinations for all our children's sakes. I, at least, have the option to change my mind in the future. By the way it was a big thing on TV over here assuring parents that the vaccination is safe!!! One thing that did hit home that I heard or read, can't remember which, but some doctor said that pap tests are as effective as the vaccinations - begs the question why pap tests shouldn't be more available to our teenage girls to those who want it then AND it picks up the cancerous cells that the vaccinations don't cover! Pap test age in the UK is being upped to 25's and over - HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT? I will let you know of any other adverse affects from the vaccinations being undertaken at my daughters school - that she gets to find out about anyway, they are all 14/15 by the way. Love to all the girls suffering at the moment x
Ok, here are a few facts. I am not a doctor or medical professional; what I *am* is a biology grad student. One of the things I've had to learn as background is molecular biology, basic immunology, and how to read scientific papers. I would not expect anyone to take medical diagnoses from me, but I would really like to shoot down some of the nonsense here on the grounds of plausibility and fact.
First: the HPV vaccine is not made from weakened live or even whole viruses. It is made with surface proteins isolated from either two or four strains of the virus. It is most vital for your immune system to recognize surface proteins, this is what it "sees" first and can become able to react to -- but there is nothing in the vaccine which can possibly function as a whole virus! The entire virus is most emphatically NOT present.
Second, I cannot imagine where "it will become airborne" comes from. No. It can't. It really just doesn't work like that.
Third: No-one, anywhere, ever, has suggested that the vaccine eliminates the need for Pap smears. But it would be good to remember what the purpose and outcome of each type of intervention is. Pap smears detect abnormal cells and allow treatment; the vaccine prevents HPV from taking hold and causing abnormal cells in the first instance. This is precisely the difference between being able to treat measles with antibiotics, and keeping people from catching measles in the first place. Please bear in mind that, as with treatment of measles with antibiotics, pap smears and cryotherapy, loop excision, cone biopsy or any of the other treatments available are not always enough. Some -- a few -- cervical cancers are very fast moving, and may have developed beyond this level of treatability before they are detected. The treatments themselves are not painless (trust me, I speak from experience on that one!) or 100% efficacious. There can be complications, or they may simply not work. And for many women in the world, even (or especially) in the US, the women may not even have access to the medical treatment they need. Be that as it may, even in countries with a high rate of screening, like the US and UK, thousands of women die every year from cervical cancer -- 1,000 women a year in the UK, and around 4,000 women a year in the US. These are all lives which could have been saved by keeping the women in question from ever catching the trigger for the cancer in the first place -- which is what the vaccine does.
Fourth: In a lot of the comments above, I see a pattern of "OMG, I just had the first shot and then I started researching side effects and now I feel horrible and I'm so scared!" Welcome to Human Psychology 101. People are very easily able to convince themselves that the scary things are happening to *them*, and when they do their own minds drive and exaggerate physical symptoms -- this isn't "all in your head", it is your emotional state and belief influencing how you feel, exactly the way it does in the very well documented placebo effect. We even have a related name for it: the "nocebo" effect. When people read about horrible side effects, or are in personal contact with someone who happens to react, this often manifests. You can also see it in situations where one person in a building thinks they smell gas, and suddenly everyone is feeling dizzy and queasy -- even when it's shown later that there is no gas present. This isn't some failing or weakness in people, this is just being people. We do this. Everyone tends to be subject to it. We scare ourselves into things.
Short answer to that problem: it may sound brusque, but seriously -- quit scaring yourself. So far, worldwide over 100 million doses of the vaccine have been given, and out of all the monitoring systems like VAERS, the UK's Yellow Card system, and the European Union's AEFI (Adverse Events Following Immunization) tracking systems, there has been NO pattern of consistent adverse events other than soreness and the already known tendency of teen girls to faint when they get shots (any shots, not just vaccinations). There has also been a far lower rate of serious adverse events to THIS vaccine than there is to pretty much any other vaccine available -- which is in line with the fact that the test cohort for this vaccine was well over 22,000 people, and there was a lot of tweaking done before its release. In other words, the actual odds are that you *are* fine.
Finally: It is now out, the girl who died after having the vaccine, Natalie Morton -- in the autopsy, she was found to have a large and malignant chest tumor. She could have died at any moment; it is possible the stress or excitement of having the HPV shot was enough to trigger an event, but there was no more involvement than that. It is tragic, absolutely tragic. What it is *not* is a vaccine side effect.
I would beg you all to remember something: biology is a complicated field. This isn't to say that "only professionals can understand it", but what it means is that if you want to understand it, you need to put the time in learning from technically accurate sources. Just reading everything you find on the internet isn't going to do it, especially given that the internet is full of dubious sources of information -- if you read a lot, but don't have the tools or background to tell good information from bad, all you do is fill your head with junk and confusion. That is why people take university courses in the first place -- to get a grounding in the basics and give themselves the cognitive tools to tell good information from bad for specific, highly technical issues. The University of Google, sadly, just doesn't cut it. You need to get a bit more technical background than that.
You have two sane choices: you can either listen to people who have done the work, and spend their lives in the technical aspects of the field, or you can do the work yourself, learn the basics from solid sources, and learn to UNDERSTAND the technical details yourself. Alternatively, as a somewhat less sane choice, you can take all sources of information as being equal and equally plausible, and spend your life being scared and confused. I don't personally recommend that.
But here are some simply mathematics to think about: between the US and the UK, 5,000 women a year die of cervical cancer. That means that in the last three years, 15,000 women have died of this disease in these two countries. By the very worst case scenario, assuming that ALL correlation is actually misunderstood causation, however unlikely it seems on in-depth investigation -- in the last three years there have been up to 70 deaths which might, through some unknown, inconsistent mechanism, have been linked somehow to the HPV vaccine.
15,000 vs. 70.
There isn't a medical treatment in the world which carries no risk at all, and anyone who tells you that there is, is either ignorant or deliberately lying. But I hope you can see the logic behind the math.
As a side note: Mia, this is the beginning of the school year, and there are millions of different flu bugs and bacterial infections available in the Great Student Pathogen Swapmeet of Autumn, when everyone brings their favorite germs from home. Please consider the possibility that the soreness is from the shot, and the fever and elevated white count is from something else which she's caught -- I'm sure the timing of that feels too suspicious for you, but given how many students there are, and how many illnesses there are on the go right now, this is simply something that we have to
expect to happen to some people.
This comment is for Lynn
The vaccine has what is termed VLP’s (virus like particles). These are genetically engineered proteins to mimic the actual virus protein. The HPV 11 was genetically engineered from the HPV6a protein because it did not do well in the yeast growth medium. It did do well in the insect growth medium but they decided to engineer it so it would work with the yeast for Gardasil.
Lynn is right that it is not airborne but there have been studies in infants that prove that the HPV virus can be transmitted through casual contact. One such study was in Finland where 93.7% of the participants were HPV positive and 7.9% the infant was the only one HPV positive. The 7.9% further proves the connection with casual contact. So I can safely say that HPV is not an STD.
To quote Lynn. “These are all lives which could have been saved by keeping the women in question from ever catching the trigger for the cancer in the first place -- which is what the vaccine does. “
During my two and a half years of research into the HPV vaccines I have found and this is verified by scientists that this vaccination program has an increased risk of 44.6% (FDA/Merck documents) of cervical cancer later in life if the person was pre-exposed to the HPV at any time in life.
Now, let us take into account that the HPV virus, in the majority of women, the body’s own immune system will rid the body of the virus and the person infected will never know. Also, that the HPV is only found when there is a persistent infection and that the HPV is found to be present and has never been studied to prove it is the cause of cervical cancer. It is just indicated. Therefore, anyone receiving this vaccination does not know if and when they may have casually contacted the HPV unless a test is done to see if this virus is dormant in the body.
To prove this dormancy there are 154 reports of warts in the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). Many of the reports state “no pre-existing condition”. Many young people, the number is now 51 have died after receiving this vaccination. I have the autopsy reports of one young girl and it states that she had papillomatosis in her respiratory tract. Via the original patent for the HPV 11 it states that HPV 11 is predominate in the respiratory tract and could be serious. They also mention RRP which is Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis. US patent number 5821087
I have also started to receive reports of young women who never had a side-effect that received the three shot series who now have cervical lesions. Here is one mother’s comment. “Here is why I am now worried. Her older sister, who had the complete series, called me in hysterics this morning after getting a call from her campus Wellness Center. They told her that her pap showed a high number of lesions and she is going in for a COPO on Friday”. (biopsy of the lesions)
“They were unaware that she had under gone the Gardasil series. I called the center and spoke to the nurse for the details. The nurse told me another girl approximately the same age as my daughter and having had the Gardasil series at the same age was in this week with the same issue. She, too, will be undergoing the same diagnostic treatment as my daughter.”
How do you explain this, except that these young women at some point in their lives where pre-exposed to HPV and they are part of the 44.6% increased chance of getting cervical cancer later in life. Further proof that HPV is not an STD. Because of this new information I received a couple of weeks ago the need for a pap test is now a necessity for any girl who received this vaccination.
To quote Lynn again. “People are very easily able to convince themselves that the scary things are happening to *them*, and when they do their own minds drive and exaggerate physical symptoms -- this isn't "all in your head", it is your emotional state and belief influencing how you feel, exactly the way it does in the very well documented placebo effect.”
I have been in contact with many, many mothers that have been told that the side-effects were all in their daughters head. What I find interesting here is that all these mother have told me that the reason they started to Google Gardasil was because of an extended amount of time had passed and the doctors were unable to find a solution to their daughters illnesses. So these parents do not fit the profile stated above because they had no pre-existing information about the vaccine.
Presently in the VAERS database there are 16157 reports. There are many reports that mention multiple patients. I did some research last year and estimated that this would add approximately another 2141 cases. So that brings the reports up to approximately 18298. Now according to the NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) who did a study about the adverse reactions from vaccines, found that only 1 to 10% of the doctors report to VAERS. What I have found through my personal contact with parents of girls adversely affected is that the doctors are refusing to report and refusing to make any connection to the vaccine. So only God knows what the real numbers are.
I have done the work myself and educated myself and relied heavily on experts in the scientific field before making any determination on the HPV vaccines. I have researched the patents, studies and peer reviewed articles on this subject before making any decision.
My best advice to anyone thinking about getting this vaccine for their daughters is to educate yourself. The long term safety studies on the HPV vaccines were not done and Dr. Harper has stated that many times. Dr. Harper was the lead researcher in both the Gardasil and Cervarix studies. I have personally been in contact with her on this topic.
As to the girl, Natalie Morton, my heart goes out to the family that has lost their precious daughter. Maybe if she went to her doctor to receive the vaccination they could have found the tumor and she could still be here today. The other thing is that the news reports state that she was a healthy and active young woman. The size of the tumor that they are alluding to would have caused some major side-effects, in my opinion. Because of this I am skeptical about those reports. This is just another reason why a mass vaccination program at schools is not safe because pre-existing conditions are not taken into account. The best example is Ashleigh Cave from the UK who had a pre-existing condition, received the first dose and is now paralyzed and has been in the hospital for over a year now.
I have read all the recent posts and it's interesting reading. I do however not except that my daugther picked up a bug. She was very healthy prior to the first vaccine and still now has weak legs. She is a girl that rarely picked up any colds or flu, as has a strong immune system. It is very hard to believe, it is not related to the vaccine. Several doctors and nurses I have spoken to have agreed she had a reaction to the vaccine, that has caused her symptons. Weak muscles and joints are listed as side effects on the leaflet from the cervavix vaccine box. I am very doubtful too that the HPV vaccine didn't play a part in that poor girl who died. I do feel very strongly that they should have been carried out at local doctors. My daughter had a period of time with abnormal bleeding, not her period as hasn't started yet. It states that people with any bleeding disorders should not have the jab. I did not know this before signing the consent form. The nurses that come into the school, are not aware of any of the medical histories. On the consent form, all they ask is of any allergies, no history. Surely this is a huge error. I am still very concerned about my daughter, as her legs are weak and she has pain bending her knees. All since the jab! She has been referred to a specialist and has numerous trips to doctors etc. I just hope she will be totally fine before long and have no long term side effects. I heard first hand of a girl that had the jab, was fine and 3 weeks later could not walk for about 4 days. Here a doctor has already seen 4 girls with weak legs following the jab. My daughter's other symptons have finally gone, just the odd headache now. I just wish someone would tell me how long the vaccine stays in her body??? If you need all 3 to give 5-6 years protection, does it stay in the body 2 years? Does anyone know? I will educate her well about sexual health and insist she has regular smears. I myself had an abnormal smear a few years ago but it naturally returned to a normal smear within a year. I can't turn back time, I am sure many of us wish we could, especially those poor parents. If I could and knew what I have learnt and seen the effect the HPV vaccine had on my daughter, I would never have signed the consent form.
My daughter has been having side effect for a year. I've brought her to Duke hospital,she has seen all kinds of speicalist and still have two more to see this month. All of them know that something is going on but can't pinpoint what,I still balieve it has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE HPV VACCINE the Doctors think there is a connection to but they don't know what to do. If anyone has found a doctor that knows what to test for to find Help for all girls effected PLEASE let us know. I'm so scared for my daughter & all the other girls. My daughter is 14 she can only go to school for a half day, she has danced for 12 1/2 years but can't any more,she has pasted out 3 times so know we don't let her do anything without one of us there what I'm trying to say is she don't have her own life I just want to find HELP to give her her life back
Cynthia Janak: Please cite exactly what papers you have found that support the statement "
this vaccination program has an increased risk of 44.6% (FDA/Merck documents) of cervical cancer later in life if the person was pre-exposed to the HPV at any time in life." -- because the statement is flat wrong. When the Phase I-III trials were being run on the vaccine, it was known ahead of time which women had previously been exposed to HPV, because assays were done for antibodies, and these women were especially monitored for side effects, sequelae
and efficacy. The conclusion was that the vaccine didn't help them in terms of prevention of further infection, but neither did it harm them or make infection any more likely. I will be happy to put together a bibliography and post it here.
Re. the statements that HPV is "not sexually transmitted" and that it has not been
tested for being the cause of cervical cancer -- I assume you genuinely believe this, but these statements are flat wrong. HPV is not solely transmitted sexually, but it is primarily transmitted that way, and as for infants aquiring it from infected parents, there is this thing called "birth" which exposes newborns to any STD, including HIV, chlamydia and syphilis, which are all sexually transmitted. As for the very well researched link (including causative mechanism and biological action) between the HPV virus and cervical cancer, please see my comment about bibliography, above. I would be happy to provide documentation of this research, although it will take me a little time to finish the bibliography. There is a lot of it, and if you have ever been on PubMed in your life I can't honestly see how you missed it.
Truth is, however, I think that you misunderstand a lot of what you read.
Like what "no existing condition" means, for one trivial example. It means that the girls didn't have cervical lesions; it didn't mean they weren't already infected with HPV. As previously noted, the vaccine does not help prevent infection, or reinfection, if the exposure to the virus has taken place before the vaccination. Could I just point out again, however -- the vaccine IS NOT A FUNCTIONAL VIRUS. The actual virus causes cervical lesions through infection and replication; the genes which would allow this virus-like particle to infect cells have been eliminated, as have the majority of its proteins, and it has no way to infect cells or replicate! All it does is provoke the immune system into -thinking- that it can by triggering certain immune signals with foreign proteins.
I really don't care how long you have been "researching" this, or how much you've read -- if you don't understand what you read, it's not going to help you. If you keep making the same mistakes for years without realizing that they are mistakes and trying to correct them, then you aren't learning, you are simply ingraining bad habits of thinking.
Dr. Harper was the lead researcher in both the Gardasil and Cervarix studies. -- Ah, argument from false authority. Dr. Harper was not the "lead researcher" in both studies, especially given that Gardasil and Cervarix have been developed by entirely different companies which are in competition with each other (logic check?). She wasn't even a "lead researcher" -- she was simply a researcher, period, out of several hundred who have worked on these vaccines. And her arguments, which I am familiar with, make very little sense.
She says that HPV can be transmitted through casual contact -- which IS true, but in a very, very small number of cases. Then she points out that many girls who are vaccinated have already been exposed, and correctly asserts that these girls are not protected by the vaccine. Then she advocates
leaving the vaccine until late adolescence, by which point far more of the girls will have picked up HPV infections, including the most vulnerable populations! Again, may we have a logic check, here?
We already know from a very large cohort that efficacy from the vaccine lasts more than 5 years. There is a small cohort from the Phase I trials which is at close to 10 years, and although their immune response has dropped somewhat, it still exists and is considerably higher than in non-vaccinated people. Vaccinating girls at age 13-14 protects them through age 19, at a minimum, and the girls at highest risk from HPV infections are those who start sexual activity before age 18. This has also been the subject of a number of international studies.
The majority of HPV infections are acquired before age 24. The vaccinations are designed to target the population which can most benefit, basically.
On another note: there are a very large number of people out there who have undiagnosed or undiagnosable illnesses. It is very sadly not uncommon -- one of the reasons why the NIH has a research division which focusses solely on these cases. It is also a very common human tendency to NEED a name for what is wrong, and an explanation -- living with doubt and not knowing is absolutely soul destroying. Unfortunately, for most of people this means that they latch onto a possible explanation as a certain explanation, and are absolutely emotionall convinced that this is it, in the face of all the medical uncertainty. --Does this mean that it is the -right- explanation, though? Sadly, no. This is why we have that medical uncertainty, and people often can't get the doctors to commit and go along with them.
There is no medical conspiracy to cover up anything. Doctors are people. They live in the same neighborhoods as other people, they pay taxes, they have families and friends, they lose people they love to illnesses and death, and they are even subject to those same frailties themselves. But pursuing a false explanation doesn't actually do anyone any good. There are reasons to be cautious about attribution, and try to make sure you have hold of something true.
Regarding all the people who want to know how long it takes the vaccine to clear out of the body:
A few days.
Seriously. The vaccine clears the body in a few days. Between 1-2 weeks after the shot, pretty much all the vaccine components (including the aluminum salts which have Cynthia Janak so wound up, despite the astonishingly small quantity) are gone, cleared out of the body.
This is where it helps to have basic immunology. Vaccines contain such minute quantities of substances that the real challenge is ensuring that they have
enough longevity in the body to provoke an immune response in the aquired immune system.
What lasts is the aquired (or adaptive) immune system's "memory" of the antigen, in the form of activated B cells and sensitized T cells. The reason there is a series of shots, rather than just one, is that one shot on its own isn't enough to provoke the production of large numbers of these B and T cells, and the "memory" of the antigen doesn't stay in the body for long. By repeated exposure, the aquired immune system becomes trained to recognise the antigen and enough of the B cells which carry that recognition are produced to ensure that the body will have a few of them around for years.
Infection by HPV exposes the body to replicating viruses in quantities tens of thousands of times higher than what is in the shots; the goal of any vaccination is to train the immune system to recognize the virus without the dangers which accompany actual infection, and the difficulty is the fact that we are trying to do this with so much less material. This is why we use things like aluminum salts as adjuvants. Adjuvants do several things:
They "protect" the antigen so that the antigen survives longer in the body (realize, please, that we are talking about them lasting maybe a day or two instead of a couple of hours).
They provoke local inflammation -- this is why the injection site hurts and swells -- which serves the function of getting B and T cells' attention, and getting more of them onsite faster.
Some adjuvants help the antigen be carried into lymphocytes, which is where the immune system "programs" the memory of the antigen into long-term storage.
Adjuvants are what makes the injections hurt, but without them, what is in the injection doesn't last long enough or reach enough immune cells to provoke any immunity.
It is entirely possible that disease-causing autoimmune response can be provoked by any number of things, and the sad fact is that, yes, vaccination is one of them. However, so are a very large number of unrelated infections or simply internal malfunctions. Whether or not someone was an athlete, or never caught colds, or had any number of other "healthy" aspects to their lives doesn't necessarily protect from allergy or autoimmune response or even viral infection, either.
But though it is possible that vaccination can provoke side effects, it is unlikely to be this if symptoms appear more than a week or two after vaccination, because the vaccine components will have long cleared the system. Doctors know this. This may be why a lot of you can only get a grudging admission that it might possibly be somehow connected to vaccination after browbeating your doctors extensively.
Please consider the possibility that what you have on hand is a genuinely unexplained tragedy, despite the horrors of uncertainty, despite what our instincts tell us about correlation being causation. It doesn't make it any easier, but being convinced about it being the vaccine when that may not be the problem at all, also doesn't help.
Sorry, one correction.
Where I say above, "The actual virus causes cervical lesions through infection and replication; the genes which would allow this virus-like particle to infect cells have been eliminated, as have the majority of its proteins, and it has no way to infect cells or replicate!"
That should be: "The actual virus causes cervical lesions through infection and replication;
in the vaccine, the genes from the virus which would allow this virus-like particle to infect cells have been eliminated, as have the majority of its proteins, and it has no way to infect cells or replicate!"
Sorry to be a spammer, but I was just puzzling through Cynthia Janak's post again, and had to add this to the comments:
"
The HPV 11 was genetically engineered from the HPV6a protein because it did not do well in the yeast growth medium. It did do well in the insect growth medium but they decided to engineer it so it would work with the yeast for Gardasil."
This is gobbledegook. It's not even right enough to be wrong. The proteins for HPV-11 and HPV-6 are derived from HPV-11 and HPV-6 respectively, HPV-11 is not and has never been derived from any HPV-6 protein. And it has been successfully grown in a yeast medium since at least 2000. See for example
this paper from 2001.
This is what I mean about, it doesn't matter how long you've been "researching" something if you don't understand what you read.
One more addition, and then I'm signing off for the day. Honest!
Tammy L. and others with kids with undiagnosed/undiagnosable illnesses: you might try asking your doctors if they will submit the case to the NIH's Undiagnosed Diseases Program
http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/Resources.aspx?PageID=31 Please read the FAQ on the site and don't submit medical records to the program directly -- that would be handled by coordinating between your doctor and the
NIH Clinical Center.
I have to sound one note of caution, though -- the Undiagnosed Diseases Program has only been able to take on a fraction of the number of cases which have been submitted to them. Try, but it isn't a guarantee that they will be able to see you. They have a finite staff, and they are swamped.
Be aware, too, that if the doctors think that what is affecting your kids is or is related to Guillain-Barré syndrome, then you won't get into the Undiagnosed Diseases. We don't actually know all the things which trigger GBS or how exactly it happens, nor do we have good treatments for it yet, but GBS is already being actively researched in separate programmes. See
the NINDS info page on Guillain-Barré Syndrome for a place to start.
Lynn,
Thank you for giving me a good laugh this morning. You fell into the trap that I set whenever I deal with an academic type like you. You see you failed the test. I gave you enough information to check my data out via a little effort on your part. All you had to do is use key words like many of us lay people to find the information that I quoted. But you did not. Which means that you have no curiosity to find out the truth like us lay people. Then you slam us lay people for using our natural curiosity to GOOGLE to find the truth and call us uneducated in the science and all that garbage because we are lay people. You who could not go to the FDA website and enter Gardasil 44.6% because you are lazy and of narrow focus slams we lay people because we want to know and learn what is making these girls sick.
Why do you think that parents use message boards like this? Do you think it is because they feel like it? Or is it because the academic types with the PhD, MD, Dr. have failed in finding an answer to the issues their daughters are having? I know these parents. I talk to these parents. I know and talk to the girls affected. I visit them and see what is going on with the seizures, etc. and the medical establishment has failed them all by pumping them up with all kinds of pills, telling them it is all in their head and when that fails they ignore them. I have seen it all happen and it breaks my heart and I cry for them.
I am going to break down what you wrote and prove your narrow focus and your medical cult mentality which is that you are the supreme medical knowledge holder because you went to a university and spent all kinds of money. But you still are unable to find the cause for these girls’ health issues. Where you asleep in class? Maybe you should have gone to the University of Google like us lay people.
AE = adverse effect
PCR = polymerase chain reaction = is a test that can be used to detect the existence of the defined sequence in a DNA sample. (Like the DNA of the HPV)
Carrier solution placebo = All the chemicals in the vaccine except for the virus or the VLP
VLP = Virus like particle
Seropositive = the presence of specific substances in the blood serum. In this case the HPV.

“The results of exploratory subgroup analyses for study 013 suggested a concern that subjects who were seropositive and PCR-positive for the vaccine-relevant HPV types had a greater number of CIN 2/3 or worse cases as demonstrated in the following table:” Table 17 shows that the efficacy rate for anyone who were seropositive and PCR positive for vaccine related HPV types to be -44.6%.
Page 14, Table 19, “Study 013: Analysis of efficacy against vaccine-relevant HPV types CIN 2/3 or worse among subjects who were PCR positive and/or seropositive for the relevant HPV type at day 1.” Table 19 shows that the efficacy rate for this group to be -33.7%.
Page 22, Table 32. “Detailed Safety Population: Number (%) of subjects who reported systemic adverse reactions of 2% or greater in the 15 days following receipt of study vaccine.” Table 32 shows that the number of subjects reporting systemic adverse reactions was 3591. That is a percentage of 59.2% of the participants.
June 8, 2006, Subject: Clinical Review of Biologics License Application for Human Papillomavirus 6, 11, 16, 18 L1 Virus Like Particle Vaccine (S. cerevisiae) (STN 125126 GARDASIL), manufactured by Merck, Inc. http://www.fda.gov/cber/review/hpvmer060806r.pdf
Page 321, Title: Systemic AEs (Days 1-15 after any vaccination)
Page 322, Table: 237, Protocol 018: Number (%) of Subjects with Systemic AEs, Days 1-15 After Any Vaccination Visit “Number (%) with systemic AE = 541 (46.4%)”
At this point I want to bring to your attention page 45, table 24, Study protocol 018. This group is the 9 – 15 year old group of boys and girls. 615 girls and 564 boys were in this study. This study also used a carrier solution as the placebo as evidenced on page 301, table 210.
If you go to page 318, Table 232, Protocol 018 - Clinical Adverse Experience Summary, Days 1-15 Postvaccination by Age you will find: N (%) with 1+AE = 9 – 12 years of age, 567 (83.0%), 13 – 15 years of age, 396 (82.2%) under the column HPV vaccine.
Page 368, “Title: Efficacy Conclusions, paragraph 2, sentence 2, In subjects who have been previously infected with a specific vaccine HPV type, there is no evidence of efficacy in reducing cervical dysplasia associated with that vaccine type.”
Protocol 018 is the target age group for the HPV vaccines. This is why it is of no surprise to me that we are having so many adverse events being reported. I want to finish with the fact that 83.0% of this age group had an adverse reaction to the HPV vaccine and the fact that if a subject has been exposed to a specific vaccine HPV type there is no efficacy, then why would you consider vaccinating this age group or any age group for that matter.
2) “HPV is not solely transmitted sexually, but it is primarily transmitted that way, and as for infants acquiring it from infected parents, there is this thing called "birth" which exposes newborns to any STD,”
Transmission of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) between Parents and Infant: a Prospective Study of HPV in Families in Finland, Received 1 December 2003/Returned for modification 28 January 2004/Accepted 20 September 2004, JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY, Jan. 2005, p. 376–381 http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/reprint/43/1/376
What I found interesting in this study is that on page three they discuss HPV detection in the families. It states that only 2.6% of the families were totally HPV DNA negative. Here is the paragraph with all the details.
“HPV dynamics in the families are shown in Table 2. Only 2.6% of the families were totally HPV DNA negative. In 22 families (29%), HPV DNA was detected in all family members. HPV DNA was more frequent in mother-infant than in father-infant pairs (26% versus 11%). However, in six (8%) families, only the infant was HPV positive, as determined by any sample positive for HPV.”
3) “Like what "no existing condition" means, for one trivial example. It means that the girls didn't have cervical lesions; it didn't mean they weren't already infected with HPV.” Thank you for making my point about pre-exposure. If they were already, at some point in their life, “already infected with HPV” the “vaccine does not help prevent infection, or re-infection,”. Therefore using your statement the efficacy, meaning in layman’s terms if the vaccine works, proves the vaccine is ineffective.
4) Before Dr. Harper started to speak out against the HPV vaccines the media thought she was the ultimate authority and they did state she was the lead researcher in the studies. But now her concerns “make little sense.” I am not going to go back to 2006 and 2007 and pull the original articles because my time is more valuable than that.
5) “Then she points out that many girls who are vaccinated have already been exposed, and correctly assert that these girls are not protected by the vaccine.” Thank you again for making my point that the girls are not protected.
6) “It is also a very common human tendency to NEED a name for what is wrong, and an explanation -- living with doubt and not knowing is absolutely soul destroying.” Again, thank you for making my point. The medical establishment does not have an answer for these parents that blame themselves for allowing this to happen to their children. When that parent comes to this realization that the medical establishment does not have the answer they will go to the University of Google to see if other parents are having the same issue. Lo and behold they find sites like this one and see that they are not alone and pray that someone, like me is doing the work because it is obvious that the medical establishments, with all their scientists, are not. They get a big F on their report card under Humanity.
7) “The vaccine clears the body in a few days. Between 1-2 weeks after the shot, pretty much all the vaccine components (including the aluminum salts … are gone, cleared out of the body. “This may be true but you forgot one major component of the aluminum dilemma. We are now being told to limit our use of aluminum products especially processed foods from cans because the aluminum can leach into the product. This is what the ASTDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) has to say about aluminum. "Eating large amounts of processed food containing aluminum additives or frequently cooking acidic foods in aluminum pots may expose a person to higher levels of aluminum than a person who generally consumes unprocessed foods and uses pots made of other materials (e.g., stainless steel or glass)." So yes the aluminum from the vaccine may leave the body but when you add the 225 mg of aluminum in the vaccine to the environmental aluminum we are exposed to everyday you could have, depending on the lifestyle of the individual, a toxic overload of aluminum due to vaccination.
8) “the goal of any vaccination is to train the immune system to recognize the virus” This is only if you have not been pre-exposed to the HPV types already in the vaccine.
9) “Adjuvants do several things:
“They "protect" the antigen so that the antigen survives longer in the body (realize, please, that we are talking about them lasting maybe a day or two instead of a couple of hours). “ The “antigen” meaning in layman’s terms the VLP (virus like particle) or the live or attenuated (almost dead) virus needs to have a pH balance of around 6.0 to survive which is an acid pH level. So in order for this antigen to survive in the body for “a day or two” the pH balance of the body which is 7.4 to 7.6 needs this downward shift to below 7.0 which is neutral body pH.
10) “But though it is possible that vaccination can provoke side effects, it is unlikely to be this if symptoms appear more than a week or two after vaccination, because the vaccine components will have long cleared the system.” What is being researched right now in the Gardasil community is the pH balance of the body. Most of the girls to date have a low pH balance which is acidy. If you go to the University of Google you will find many peer reviewed documents about pH and disease. Interesting reading, at least to me. Let me use this analogy for the layman. You have a pool. You check the pH balance of the pool to make sure it is not in the low acid range. Why do you do that? You do that so bacteria and viruses cannot grow in the pool water which would be dangerous to the swimmer. Does this happen overnight or in a day or two, no. It takes time for the toxic effects of a low pH balance to take effect.
To close this dialogue I am going to say this. You medical establishment types would lose your jobs if people did not get sick. So it stands to reason that you would think the way you do. People around the world are now starting to wake up to your flawed reasoning and searching for their own answers. They are going to chiropractors, homeopaths, naturopaths and healing the body naturally. They are starting to understand that better living through chemistry is not natural and damages the body.
The perfect example is cancer patients. I knew of three people who in the last year were diagnosed with cancer and went through the standard therapy. They beat the original cancer but months later at a wellness check the doctor announces to them that they had liver cancer and they died. This is what happened to Patrick Swayze. Then look at Susanne Sommers who beat breast cancer by using the natural healing abilities of the body through nutrition and supplementation. If you research cancer and pH at the University of Google you will find all kinds of studies and peer reviewed articles on the subject.
This is not in the mainstream media because this would put you academia types out of a job.
To answer Lynne again
"Sorry to be a spammer, but I was just puzzling through Cynthia Janak's post again, and had to add this to the comments:"
"The HPV 11 was genetically engineered from the HPV6a protein because it did not do well in the yeast growth medium. It did do well in the insect growth medium but they decided to engineer it so it would work with the yeast for Gardasil."
"This is gobbledegook. It's not even right enough to be wrong. The proteins for HPV-11 and HPV-6 are derived from HPV-11 and HPV-6 respectively, HPV-11 is not and has never been derived from any HPV-6 protein."
If you go to U. S. Patent Number 5821087, Dated October 13, 1998, Titled: Production of Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Type II Protein Utilizing Papillomavirus 6/11 Hybrid DNA, you will find on page 23, second column at the bottom it states this:
"However, the HPV11 L1 protein is expressed at low levels in yeast cells." "By modifying the HPV6 L1 DNA to encode the HPV11 L1 protein..." "the HPV6/11 hybrid gene does not contain yeast-recognized internal transcription termination signals;"
What this is in laymans terms is that they took the HPV6 and changed it by adding through genetic engineering a part of HPV11 so that the HPV6 looks like the HPV11. That is why they call it HPV6/11 hybrid gene.
Once again, Lynne, you did not do your homework. I had this finding validated by two scientists that I know.
Lynne let's you know who she works for with this statement.
"We don't actually know all the things which trigger GBS or how exactly it happens, nor do we have good treatments for it yet, but GBS is already being actively researched in separate programmes."
The "We" tells the story.
For all you parents that are searching for answers to this travesty let me tell you what is working for the Gardasil Girls. Many of the girls are on the diet that the autistic children are on which is the GFCF diet. They are going to either a chiropractor, homeopath or naturopath to help detox the heavy metals from their body. They are also following recommendations as to nutritional supplements to help the body come back to normal. Some with more severe problems have gotten hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments with some success. The other thing is that the pH balance that I have mentioned in previous posts is beginning to be a significant factor in the health of these girls.
This is a suggestion and you need to do what you feel is right for you and your family. Please educate yourself and make your own decision.
You are all in my prayers.
Jesus wept. So many misconceptions, here. Cynthia, I really don't think you understand how much of this you clearly don't understand.
I will tackle this piecemeal as I have time, but I have a fishtank to go clean right now...
To pick the low-hanging fruit first, though, I think you need to learn some basic chemistry to understand that aluminum salts used as adjuvants (aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide) ARE NOT THE SAME CHEMICALS as "aluminum" nor do they react the same way as aluminum in the body; and vaccines do not contain "225 mg" of aluminum salts, they contain
0.225 mg, or 225 micrograms. A simple error to make, I suppose....
And, seriously, this part is not rocket science: getting a vaccine to prevent infection with HPV does not protect you once you have been infected with HPV, in precisely the same way that getting a measles vaccination doesn't help you once you have measles. To imply that this means "the vaccine doesn't work" is simply cretinous.
And, finally, no, adjuvants do not protect antigens by adjusting pH! Good Lord! They protect antigens by forming a physical barrier between parts of the antigen and the enzymes which disassemble antigens. pH in the blood and body is EXTREMELY tightly regulated to around 7.35-7.45 -- all this nonsense about "pH balancing for health" is just that, nonsense; we have a technical term for people whose blood pH has dropped below 7.0 -- we generally call these people "dead".
Regarding all the "doctors just want to keep you sick" nonsense...right. So, the fact that people get sick a lot and we don't always know how to fix it is all just a giant conspiracy because doctors are all evil, and you can cure cancer with vitamins?
....riiiight.
Incidentally, Patrick Swayze had pancreatic cancer, one of the worst kinds possible; by surviving 20 months after diagnosis with chemo, he did vastly better than the poor schmucks who were enrolled in the Gonzales protocol test (that's vitamins and "toxin purification"), who survived a median of 4.5 months, or roughly two weeks longer than they would have been expected to survive with no treatment at all. (
) -- that would be your peer-reviewed evidence then.
I will tell you what I think about you:
1. I believe that you are genuinely well meaning.
2. I have no evidence at all that you have a good understanding of biology, of medicine, or of how much you don't know.
3. I see a huge hostility to the idea that you don't understand this, don't know some things, or might actually have anything to learn from practitioners of evidence-based medicine and science -- and I mean real science, which has to meet certain minimum standards of design and then face getting torn apart in a public forum of professionals, not the squishy fake no-control-group, poorly designed sham "trials" which homeopaths and naturopaths fall back on in order to sell their products.
But then, you also believe that vaccines are a hidden eugenics program. This doesn't encourage the belief that you are open to rationality.
Lynne,
I just love communication of this sort. It makes my day so thank you.
First, Let us discuss Aluminum and the other ingredients of the vaccine.
I actually know a scientist that has been involved with many court cases and testifies to the effects of aluminum. I also have a good personal family adverse event after a flu shot. My aunt who is in her upper 70”s never had a flu shot until last year. Before the flu shot she still drove, had many senior organizations that she was an officer of and other hobbies of a very detailed nature. Her memory was a sharp as a tack. Then she received her first flu shot and started to complain to me how she is getting old and was forgetting things. She never had this happen before and she was concerned. She stopped driving for a little while. Now she is driving again but not as much. This was the side effect from a vaccine.
This book does not separate the different kinds of aluminum.
Neurological Effects of Aluminum Mineral and metal neurotoxicology, By Masayuki Yasui, Kiichiro Ota, M. Anthony Verity, Michael J. Strong, Edition: illustrated, Published by CRC Press, 1996, ISBN 0849376645, 9780849376641
Page 130, 13.3.2, Acute Aluminum Neurotoxicity, Paragraph 2, Sentence 6, “Although the patient may have mild neurological findings of aluminum neurotoxicity such as speech disturbance, more commonly there is an acute explosive onset of symptoms. The major findings in adults include confusion, myoclonic jerks, agitation, grand mal seizures, obtundation, coma and death.”
Page 131, Paragraph 1, “The neurotoxicity in children… is somewhat different from that seen in adults. The disease is more insidious in onset and characterized by intellectual impairment, seizures, and regression of verbal and motor skills. This is exemplified by the finding that children who have just started to walk and talk may lose these skills. The frequency of seizures in children is equal to or even greater than that found in adults with acute aluminum intoxication.”
The last section is what happens in the Autism community after vaccination is what the parents say. In the Gardasil community it is termed brain fog in regards to intellectual impairment. If you look at the VAERS reports and talk to the parents and the girls you will find that for the most part the only vaccine given was the one for HPV. Explain that fact. I know these people personally.
Let us look at each individual ingredient of this vaccine. This is interesting reading. (I do want to say that in my haste in writing my post I forgot the c in the mcg.)
225 mcg aluminum (as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant) –
Aluminum phosphate - http://www.webmd.com/
Phosphate salts can irritate the digestive tract and cause stomach upset, diarrhea, constipation, and other problems. Do not take phosphate salts unless prescribed by a healthcare professional if:
You have kidney disease
You have heart disease.
You have high or low calcium blood levels.
You have high phosphate blood levels.
You have a condition which causes the body to retain fluid (edema), including heart failure, liver problems (cirrhosis), and other conditions.
Aluminum hydroxide – Aluminum hydroxide side effects - http://www.drugs.com/mtm/aluminum-hydroxide.html
Aluminum overdose - Seek emergency medical attention.
Symptoms of an aluminum overdose include weight loss, decreased appetite, general feeling of sickness, muscle weakness, kidney failure, and softening of the bones.
Stop taking aluminum hydroxide and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take aluminum and talk to your doctor if you experience constipation. Increased fluid intake may lessen constipation
9.56 mg of sodium chloride - also known as common salt, table salt, or halite, is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl.
0.78 mg of L-histidine - is an essential amino acid that cannot be formed by other nutrients, and must be in the diet to be available to the body.
Most often recognized as a precursor to the allergy symptom producing hormone histamine, both histidine and histamine have essential roles in the body beyond tormenting allergy sufferers.
50 mcg of polysorbate 80 - PubMed.Gov a service of the U.S. Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health, a report shows that neonatal rats were injected with small doses of polysorbate 80 and the results were major effects on the reproductive organs of the rats, resulting in infertility. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8473002?dopt=Abstract
PubMed studied Polysorbate 80 in an intravenous vitamin mix given to a pregnant woman who suffered anaphylactic shock where polysorbate 80 was identified as the causative agent, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16400901?dopt=Citation
and yet another study showed two patients who developed hypersensitive reactions to red blood cell growth hormones and subsequent skin testing indicated polysorbate 80 as the culprit. This finding might have implications in the recent increase in the incidence of pure red cell aplasia. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15958049?dopt=Abstract
35 mcg of sodium borate - Borax
Introduction, Paragraph 5 – Prior to the study reported here, there had been an earlier study that suggested borate exposure was associated with symptoms of acute respiratory irritation, such as dryness of the mouth, nose, or throat; dry cough; nose bleeds; sore throat; productive cough; shortness of breath; and chest tightness.

Second, “getting a vaccine to prevent infection with HPV does not protect you once you have been infected with HPV” "the vaccine doesn't work" Does it not stand to reason that if you have had previous exposure to HPV the vaccine is ineffective which means that it will not work.
Third and I just love this one. “pH in the blood and body is EXTREMELY tightly regulated to around 7.35-7.45 -- all this nonsense about "pH balancing for health" is just that, nonsense; we have a technical term for people whose blood pH has dropped below 7.0 -- we generally call these people "dead".” What I find interesting here is that you feel that people are dead if their blood pH goes below 7.0. That would mean that all the Gardasil girls that have tested their pH which is below 7.0 are “dead” in your eyes. Well, these girls are not dead to me and their parents because some of the reports are 6.0, 6.5, 6.2, etc. Also, it is a known fact that cancer patients have a pH below 7.0 so are they dead to you too? It is also a known fact that cancer cannot survive in a proper balanced body pH.

Acidity, Disease and Cancer
Understanding pH Level and Why Many People Have Disease / Cancer
According to the research of Dr. Enderlein, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. In case you missed it, let me say it again...
Total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.
What does pH mean? pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen. The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic.
Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range around 7.35 - 7.45. Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves too much below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies. The ideal pH balance for blood is 7.4
There are two factors that are ALWAYS present with cancer no matter what else may be present. Those two factors are Acid pH and Lack of Oxygen. Can we manipulate those two factors that always have to be present for cancer to develop and by doing so will that help reverse the cancer? If so, we need to learn how to manipulate those two factors.
Cancer needs an acid and low oxygen environment to survive and flourish within. Terminal cancer patients are around 1000 times more acidic than normal healthy people. The vast majority of terminal cancer patients possess a very low body pH. Cancer thrives in a low body pH.
In the absence of oxygen, glucose undergoes fermentation to lactic acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop from between 7.3 to 7.2 down to 7 and later to 6.5 in more advanced stages of cancer and in metastases the pH drops to 6.0 and even 5.7 or lower. Our bodies simply cannot fight disease if our body pH is not properly balanced.
The normal human cell has a lot of molecular oxygen and a slightly alkaline pH. The cancer cell has an acid pH and lack of oxygen. Cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment. Again, the higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. Cancer and all diseases hate oxygen / pH balance. pH balance is very important for one's health.
Fourth – you mentioned a study that only used vitamins and “toxin purification”. Any lay person knows that you need a proper diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables besides the vitamins to remain or become healthy. Because of the protocol of this study it is no surprise to me that the people passed. The one most important element that is missing is balancing the pH. If those people in the study also strived to balance their pH they may still be here today.
Fifth - "doctors just want to keep you sick" I read over all my posts and did not find that quote. Sorry. You see doctors would still be needed for wellness checks, pap tests, broken bones, etc. Just like the old family doctor used to be. A new procedure that would be instituted would be the pH test during your wellness check. This way the doctor would know if you are prime for disease or for a virus and have you work on your diet to change the pH to the optimal range. This would be a huge thing for doctors. They would probably see their patients at least twice a year just for this test.
Who would not be needed in such a large capacity are people like you. What I said was this: “You medical establishment types would lose your jobs if people did not get sick.” This is a true statement and you know that. That is why you attacked me and said that I stated doctors.
I am researching about the side effects of Gardasil. I have someone who told me that her child has malaise, tingling of the hands, diarrhea and belly pain, passes out for no reason 5-10 times a day once she starts, then has a clear period (which threw us off). She wonders about the shot as these things didn't start until after her second shot, getting worse after the 3rd. That has also made me question the vaccine. I'm trying to share the info, but so much seems to be from journals that won't get their attention like newpapers. Have you found any journal articles in medical journals documenting this? That would help me out lots! As they did teach me not to reinvent the wheel in school, I'd like to glean of your knowledge, please.
My mom is going to make me get this shot in 1 year yhen i turn 13 and i dont want to get it is it up to my parents or me? please reply and i will be praying for all of your daughters
Just read the book "Poison Pills" re the Merck-Vioxx scandal. I doubt that Merck has suddenly become more interested in the good of all then in money since Vioxx. Guardasil is from Merck-and rushing to get it onto the market before its competitors was a major factor in its lobbying efforts.
a case from the uk my 13 year old daughter had her last hpv jab in may and she fainted within 30 mins she was ambulanced to a&e (emergency room us)the doctors said the faint was due to being scared of the injection . since may daily faints occured always complaining of tingling in the tops of her fingers and in her left leg her faints where now happing 4 times a day she spent every day in hospital . the staff at the hospital would not listen to any connection from the hpv jab to her condition implying she was making it up for attention and it was all in her head refering her to a therapist.then a reprive or so we thought for about 2-3 weeks during school summer holidays we thought that maybe she had suffered a reaction to the jab along with a virus until she went back to school extreme fatigue headaches back to 3-4 and upwards faints daily when on one of our daily trips to the hospital staff were unwilling to treat her i made it quite clear to the doctors that i was not bringing her to the a&e every day that the school were calling for an ambulance due to the fact she had fainted for 8 mins and would not respond to the school nurse,this lead to a couple of days on the childrens ward where they confined her to bed so she would not faint.ct scan was clear eeg was clear tilt table test clear therapist happy with her state of mind she was a very popular girl at school doing well with high grades and loved being in the school sports team no family worries comes from loving stable family one of 4 children so not so a panicky mother who has dealt with brusies and sickness for twenty years.since mid september she has become much worse faints prolonged tiredness so much that anormal weekend involves nothing more than sleeping and she is now having seizures daily and has not lost control of her bladder during these seizures which the doctors insist that are still not happing although have been witnessed by teachers first aiderd and the school nurse and on one occasion the whole of her school year which needless to say the most frightning and embrassing seizure to date. doctors are asking for her to be filmed when she is having a seizure the school are at this point going through hours of cctv footage to check . as a mother who is just about holding it together watching her daughter being stolen bit by bit in constant pain the goverment slogan for the hpv jab was ARM YOURSELF AGAINST CANCER SO MOTHERS PLEASE ARM YOURSELVES WITH THE FACTS ABOUT THIS INJECTION BEFORE THEY STEAL YOUR DAUGHTER.if your child has been affected you must report it so other parents can make an informed decision on the facts of real cases and not the lies told by drug companies.
hello my name is debra im 16 years old, i recently go my gardasil shot about 2 weeks ago and dont feel my self at all. I sometimes feel like my throat is closing up, have weird blurred vision and get a very sick stomach and im even losing weight. i will not take my other 2 shots!!!!! This stuff should defiantly be banned off the market. my doctor who i had since i was lil didnt even tell me about these side effects. Can anyone tell me how long it will take for these side effects to go away please its really scary. i was alot better before this shot. thank you and God bless
My daugter who is now 15 recieved the vaccination 3 years ago. A fews days later she had two fainting spells followed by swelling in her hands and feet with temperature changes. She still complains of aches and pains in her joints, constant headaches and most recently develped brusitis in her left hip. We had an MRI EEG and EKG within weeks after her fainting spells. Results were not remarkable. We also tested for rhuematoid arthritis with negative results. I really feel strongly about her symptomology being directly connected to this vaccine (Guardisil). Where do we go from here? I just want her to be rid of her aches and pains.
My daughter had her first shot of Gardasil in August 07 when she was 20. She was in college and never told her father or I that she immediately began to suffer from severe depression afterwards. She received her second shot in August 08 and then the real horror story starts. She suffered from extreme anxiety, mood disorders, had difficulty sleeping and concentrating, headaches, stomach ailments and eventually began cutting and started with food disorders like purging and binging. She worked the summer in Boston and went to a mental health clinic on her own because she knew something was drastically wrong. She started receiving some meds for depression and the sleep disorders but things only escalated from there. She took an overdose of tylenol pm right before college started and after being rushed to the hospital she was automatically admitted into the psychiatric unit for the suicide attempt. I must be very clear in stating that my daughter never had any psychological disorders in the past and she felt sudden changes after each injection. She went to college with the hopes that by seeing a psychiatrist and receiving the right meds she would be fine. The second overdose came in late October. My husband and I were taking turns staying with her out at school and the personality changes came suddenly and dramatically. She again was hospitalized and it is New York state law that after a suicide attempt you are automatically put in the mental health unit of the hospital. The explanation we were receiving was "this is the age when girls start having these problems." We pleaded and begged all the while believing her problems related to Gardasil. No one in the health field will even look into the possibility. You must look for help on your own. We had a physician assistant who knew our daughter since she was a toddler and was very sympathetic and after we pleaded with her she drew blood to have it analyzed for heavy metals. Kel's aluminum level was triple what it should be and then I reached out to a homeopathic group and found a nurse that was willing to go out on a limb and do chelation therapy to remove the heavy metals in her system. My daughter had spent time at 4 hospital mental health wards along with voluntary placement at a very well known facility that deals with some of the issues she was dealing with. My daughter was not feeling any difference even after DBT therapy and she was put on lithium (yes - it scared the hell out of me). All I can say is thank God for the articles by Cynthia Janak because she led me down this path. After having several months of chelation therapy I can happily say that my daughter is completely well again. She can sleep with meds, is extremely happy and well adjusted, does think about cutting or doing any of the other self destructive behaviors that she was previously doing. I am writing this to let people know that there is hope and a way to rid your daughter of these toxic elements from the shot. My belief is that some girls are hypersensitive to the aluminum or other components of the shot. If you google aluminum hypersensitivity it explains the variety of symptoms that can occur. Anyone that wants to can e-mail me for more info if you like. Please do not put your faith in the medical or mental health professionals if you are looking for help because you suspect your daughter is having problems because of Gardasil. From my experience, they will not listen and only follow protocol. If I had not done research and had not followed the path of going the homeopathic route, I truly believe my daughter would no longer be with us. My prayers go out to all the families that are still suffering.

hi tracey here from the uk update on my 13 year old daughter had here appendix out three weeks ago after emergency op the doctors said not only were her appendix infected but her intestines also they kept flushing her with antibiotics through drips after bags and bags they said it was to clear any infections left well three weeks later no faints or seizures she genrally seems back to normal.does anyone know if there is a link between these side effects to hpv jab and allergy to penicilln . thanks to all who contacted me may all of you find an answer to aid recovery....
im 14. ive had my first jab of HPV but i really dont want my second but i think the school and the nurses will make me. my mum signed the form because i wanted it but after my first jab ive been feeling sick whenever i eat anything and i have pains in my ribs really bad and in my lower abdomen and stomach. i was wondering if these were other reactions to the vaccine. i went to the doctors and he didnt know what was wrong with me. the pain is so bad sometimes that it makes me cry. i was ment to have my second one on monday but i had a panic attack and i thought i was going to be sick so i left the hall and didnt have it done. i have a bad feeling about getting my final two jabs i really dont want them. it would be lovely if someone could help me with my problem. please email me thanks
i am 17 and had my first hpv vacine 2 months ago 30 mins fter vacine i fainted and blacked out for abou 2 minutes i was shaking and could not stop since then i am now nearly blacking out everyday at school and unable to study because my han go through hours of shaking. have been through series of medical test which have yet been inconclusive .The school have now been told if it happens again to call an ambulance if i am unconsious for more then a minute!i did not hav the second vacine incase which it problly is that is was to do with that !so yer thats my ongoing story
I'm 18 years old and I had the HPV vaccine administered around noon on Tuesday. My friend, a male 18 year old was administered. I felt nauseous and felt fatigue within 30 minutes of injection, and my friend was fine until that night when he had muscle spasms. It isn't as serious as it sounds like, but it is slowly getting worse. Is there anyway to help him? Is this permanent? He's one of the most athletic and active person I know, someone please respond with advice!
My daughters had the series of shots about two years ago.
It was around three weeks or so after the shots that they attended a field trip to Idlewild Park. I got a phone call that my youngest daughter (13 at the time) had passed out on the beach. The medics took her in for evaluation, and she was fine. I really didn't think much of it at the time because I knew they had stayed up most of the night before the trip, and it was pretty hot at the beach. I figured she hadn't eaten as well. But recently I was informed that she's had several fainting spells at home (They don't live with me.).
My daughter have always been healthy and active girls, and there has never been anything like this in the past.
I had already suspected this vaccine before hearing about these recent fainting spells when I came across something in the news about side effects of this drug, and I immediatly recalled the incident at the beach.
I'm now looking into it in depth!

I am 13 years old and i just recieved the 2nd shot last monday. I think my parents may have made the wrong decision about making me get the vaccine because we dont know th long term side effects. There are rumours going around that this vaccine causes girls to not be able to have children when they get older. I am worried that I will never be able to have children. If you have the full list of side effects and/or if you know any of the long term effects please e-mail me.

This post is in reply to Erin Campbell's plea. Erin please do not worry. Nobody knows the lasting effects (its not been out long enough), but I am sure you will be fine. I haven't heard that this vaccine stops you from having children in later life. I am sure that nobody on this forum wants to upset young ladies like yourself, I am just a worried mother that wanted more details before letting my daughter have the vaccination and to find out more about the 'possible' long term effects. The last thing any of us want to do (and I hope that I am speaking on behalf of most of us) is to have a young lady sat at home thinking that the rest of her life has been ruined. Sweetheart, I am certain that you will be fine, you just forget about this vaccination now and get on with your wonderful young life and when the time comes for children I'm sure everything will be ok. With love, Bev.
erm.. so basically my skwl has juss giiven the forms of the vaccination to get it dun now and i was goin to get it done cos my sister did too. but now ppl are sayin that apparently one of the possible side effects are not being able to have kids wen ur older and im quite worried and not sure whether i should get it or not. wat to do ?? =S!

i had the hpv vaccine about 6 months ago(the first one) after about 30 minutes i callapsed as to what lookoed like an epeleptic attack i came round after bout 10 mins and was very tired afterwards,everyone assumed it was the fear of the jab buut ever since i have been having these "attacks" about three times a week i am a 17 year old studying for my a level exams which means im finding it hard with missing the lessons when i faint.i have had lots of tests such as mri and eeg which have come back as clear!the doctors refuse to think it is connected to the hpv and advised me to have the second one which i didnt!im finding it very hard to cope with the lack of control and am lost as to what to do and how to stop it?!?!?!?
My daughter has been perfectly healthy all her life. Her only thing that was the least bit against her was that she was born prematurely , but only by 3 weeks.
She received the gardisil vaccine during/after her senior year of high school. Then went to college and started passing out in class. She is very small in frame and wasn't eating properly due to a heavy/packed schedule. She ended up in the er, at least 3 times, diagnosed as having panic attacks. Her heart feels like it's going to escape from her chest. She has now recently developed chronic headaches. Her most recent "episode" included slurred speech , but then subsided. We had suggested the vaccine as a possible cause for the fainting spells, but the primary doctor dismissed that notion, saying that any reaction would be immediately following the administering of the vaccine, so we didn't think about it anymore. She's in college and constantly fatigued, we also didn't think about the connection because of the heavy demanding schedule that she's under. One cardiologist cleared her from any cardiac problems, then just last week she landed in the er again and will be seeing a different cardiologist this week. I had told the er doctor, that we had been there, done that with the previous cardiologist and that he had cleared her totally. So what kind of doctor do we go to next? What type of doctor would do the aluminum blood test? Her blood has been tested up one side, and down the other? The OBGYN that administered the vaccinee? Her primary doctor? We've grasping for anwers.
ive had my first jab on march 16 2010. first i suffered from unexplainable headche that lasted for 3 days. when d headache was gone, i suffered from joint pain. first was on my left knee then the pain subside d next day but my right knee started hurting while my left ankle hurt so much like i sprained it or sumthing but i ddnt. then after 5 days when all the aching are starting to go away, ive had a UTI. im on medication right now and d symptoms are starting to go away... but im suffering from stomach ache, fatigue, im always sleepy but i cant sleep at all, dizzy most of the time. im scared to get my second shot after reading what other girls and women have experienced.
HPV Vaccine /
that is gardasil
hasnt gone through its testing
in legal terms it shouldnt be legal/
but it was pushed by lobbyists and somehow is legal???????/
They do their job/they do not make a vaccine legal because they want to! it has to go through paper work of testing to go to the next stage of putting it on market"all the children are target Gardasil all HPV vaccines are being pushed to be mandated 'by law you are required to have it
most people dont get 1-4 of the most dangerous strains of warts/HPV/same thing
HPV vaccine makes no sense but the bullshit, put out gets a yes
THEIR are books on how to get a yes stategy
whats going down cause somthing must be /and it bigger than that/
their is no never get anouther wart
dont worry about the toxins
the warts cause toxic shock that is growing on a chain reaction on a cell structure different way of saying it, mutations when the cells miss and the pituitary masters this language mis read DNA RNA takes years/as it takes long long time to cause cancer that is how 70 years is to late
/4 of the most dangerous strains and in an injection fucking shit their is no research of just how fucked things could get/
the doc looks at patient the doc looks at other patients and later it does easily stick to mucus membranes/ later //
and everyone so busy on everything else /those who should obviously understand this information, as side tracked a terrorist stratgy/
SO it is the people who have to make this happen/ because it is being pushed for those under 40 currently then mandated
as thou someone does wish they lived on mars all by them self
