I have a 12 about to be 13 year old daughter who has been on Singulair now for quiet sometime, with a few breaks here and there. My question is considering she is 12 about to be 13 and is just starting to become a young women with PMS and all, how are we to determine whether or not the mood swings and insatiability is PMS or some weird side effect of Singulair? I don't necessarily want to stop her from taking Singulair considering the investigation is not over yet, but I don't want to continue putting her in harms way by keeping her on Singulair. Anyone have any suggestions?

First off, I want to thank everyone who has posted on this site. My heart goes out to all of the mothers/fathers who feel lied to by their physician, and to all of the young ladies, like myself, who chose to take this shot in order to protect myself and my partners. I have had two shots and WILL NOT receive my third.
I am a healthy 24-year-old woman who started my GARDASIL shots February 08'. The first shot, no problem. Second shot, wow. I felt like I was literally going to break. All of my joints, muscles hurt and felt very, very weak. I went to bed with a 102 fever, huge swollen glands, sore throat and cold sweats. I called my doctor and she said I "probably had the flu before I got the shot and I was just feeling my illness now.." she dubbed my issue an "coincidence". Well, I believed her because I wanted to. I didn't want to think I put myself in harms way, so I went on.
Well it's been 7 months and I can tell you my memory loss, muscle pain and bouts of depression have been a big issue. These are all things I have never dealt with in the past. Could it be GARDASIL, I'm not 100% sold that it is, but I am not throwing that idea out either.
I am really starting to struggle with the idea that we don't know the long term side effects yet.
Looks like we are all Lab Rats.
In seek of the truth,
