17 yr old developed severe eye pain after 2nd shot. Had spinal tap, MRI, bloodwork - coincidence? adverse reaction ..."

Aug 02, 2008 by amym517, #32992

My 17 yr old daughter received her first Gardasil on April 17,08 with only pain at the injection site on June 16th 08 she received the 2nd within days she started complaining of severe headaches and eye pain so I scheduled a routine eye exam thinking that her glasses may need to be updated. After her exam her optomatrist called me intot he room telling me that she had severe swelling of her optic nerve and scheduled her for an MRI before we could get that done she went to the ER for severe pain in the eye and headaches there they did the MRI and it was normal no tumors or anything that would cause such headaches.

On July 3 she called me from work asking to be picked up because the pain was so bad she could not function at all she was weak, dizzy and overall just not feeling good. I took her to the ER again where they performed a spinal tap and tons of bloodwork and admitted her for pain control on July 5th she had a 2nd spinal tap and every day more bloodwork was performed so far ALL tests ran have come back normal. She was in the hospital 5 days. She seen her ophthalmologist a week after being released and we talked to her about the Gardasil and she felt there was enough "coincidence" to have my daughters pediatrician file a adverse reaction form. That has been done and my daughter has learned to live with the pain since nothing seems to help it anymore. Also the last 6 weeks she has had bad insomnia and nose bleeds.

11 year old niece developed cysts in her breasts

August 3th 2008 7:59 PM
My 11 year old niece has developed (fibroid?) cysts in her breasts, and they say one is the size of a golf ball. She and her sister had said they really didn't think they had had any side effects from the Gardasil, and of course, the doctors say there is no connection. However, she has always been healthy, and these have only developed AFTER the administration of Gardasil.

How many must be harmed before the FDA stands up to the greed of Pharmaceutical companies and all of their human experiments?

24 year old with change in periods, developing facial hair, adult acne

I have had all three of my Gardasil shots, starting in September 2007, November 2007 and then February 2008. I felt slightly ill after each one, came down with what felt like the flu but went away after a couple of days. My periods changed completely however. I'm 24 and have regular, monthly menstruation since I was 10, without a change in flow or length of the period. Since taking the vaccination, I had terrible cramps, delayed periods, and very heavy flow for the six months and a few months after that. Since then, my period has become very light and irregular and I have started growing abnormally dark facial hair as well increased hair growth overall (hirsutism). My skin has become very thin and breaks and bruises easily, and I have developed adult acne which I never had as a teenager. I don't have PCOS so I'm not sure if the two are linked, but nothing else has changed in my lifestyle over the past year so please do let me know if you have experienced anything similar.

Menstual period stopped for four months for 15 year old girl, not pregnant

I'm a 15 year old girl who has been having periods regularly for the past three years. A few months ago, I went into the doctor to get my first Gardasil shot. I was due to get my period a few days after that. And now, I am due to go back for my next Gardasil shot in about a week..It has been four months sense I had a period. My mother has decided to make an appointment for me to find out why my menstrual cycle has suddenly disappeared. We think it may have something to do with the Gardasil shot, but the nurse we talked to on the phone said that this was unlikely, and I should come to the doctor to find out the cause of my mysterious missing menstrual immediately.
I beg you not to get these shots yourself, nor force them upon your children. I'm not sure whether to hope that it is Gardasil that is causing me these problems, or that it isn't. All I'm sure of is that I'm not taking the risk with the next two shots.
I'm desperate for answers and something to fix my problem.

Epilepsy in 17 year old

Hi. I am so sorry to read your story. My 17 year old daughter’s story is similar. She had her second Gardasil vaccination during the end of January 2008. During the month of February and March, she had abdominal problems. Beginning on March 30th, she had seizures. She had a CT of the head, MRI of the brain, EEG, 24 hour EEG and as I type this note, she are in the epilepsy center at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia and the doctor just came in to tell me that every test is coming back normal and that my daughter is having “stress” seizures. My daughter has no more stress than any other 17 year old girl does.

I related to the doctor my thoughts pertaining to Gardasil and I feel as though he has dismissed my idea.

I have found some many stories similar to yours and my daughter’s but I believe because Gardasil is so new, nothing is coming out yet about it.

If anyone has any other information, please advise!! We are desperate here in Philadelphia.
