I got my 1st gardasil shot about a week ago. I am currently having my period and have such severe cramps I can barely move. I did not know if this may be related to the shot, which is why I looked up this forum, and am astounded by what i've read. Right away there was intense pain at the injection sight for several days, so much as that when I would turn on that side while sleeping, it would waken me from the pain. For the past 3 days (since I have gotten my period) I am having terrible cramps, no appetite (bc i feel like i am going to throw up), unusual bowel movements (diarrhea/constip.), and am very dizzy. I have also been pretty irritable but that could be from stress/lack of sleep. After reading this, I will not be getting my second shot. I will give an update if any more problems arise (God help me, I am terrified!)
