EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!! GARDASIL HAS DESTROYED MY LIFE! I am 24 ...

First of all - I am not a doctor or a nurse.

Just an ordinary person who happens to be interested in side effects because I saw some relatives suffer.

I feel very sorry for you.

I cannot say that it`s not because of Gardasil. It could very well be.

It could also be because of the different antibiotics that you have taken.

Or the combination of the medications.

The reason I started to look at a certain group of antibiotics was because a close friend was prescribed Ciprofloxacin and others.

This kind of antibiotics is called fluoroquinolones - or just quinolones.

He already had some health issues but suddenly he became very confused.

Your head is the most important part of your body - because without that functioning well you are lost (unless you have strong relatives).

I was surprised to find that there were people on the Internet that said that they had been "floxed".

This group of antibiotics can cause an awful lot of terrible side effects which very few seem to recognise.

Neither the doctors - nor the patients.

Neither in the U.S. nor in Sweden where I live.

Please read Stephen Frieds book "Bitter Pills" it`s about his wife who took antibiotics of this kind and ended up in the psyciatric ward.

She also had a lot of other symptoms.

Also visit:

www.fqresearch.org

www.fqvictims.org

and also search for the names of your medications and the active substances.

If I notice that the webb-sites have been sensored, I will write to you directly.

I have written a message to you already but as www.medications.com usually censor the webb-adress I send them to you here:

www.fqresearch.org

www.fqvictims.org

also search for the words floxed or floxies and the names of the medications - antibiotics.

If you have received a quinolone I can tell you that previously www.fqresarch.org used to supply a free CD with information.

They did although I live in Sweden, but that was in 2005.

I don´t know if they still do.

I wrote to them and recived a very nice reply.

One of the things they said was that you should never combine this kind of antibiotic with for instance NSAID (non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs), cortisone or Warfarin (blood thinner).

Please let me know if you received this mail.

Good Luck!

I took my daughter to the health department yesterday for a hep a shot, i was told she needed the gardisil shot my daughter is only 10 years old, my 25 yr old step-daughter has hpv and had her cervix removed so i thought i was doing the right thing. The nurse at the health department said to get the shot if her daughters were old enough she would get it for them. Now i am terrified my daughter will suffer these terrible side effects. Can i not get her 2nd shot and she will be ok.

I am HORRIFIED at what has happened to you and all of you women from this drug and you all have my deepest sympathies. If you haven't already, reference the prescribing information on Merck's website and review their clinical trial results.I think it said that out of 10,000 participants who received this drug, 245 or 2.3% developed autoimmune disorders. I find it disgraceful that the FDA even approved this drug. I represent a group of parents whose children have suffered horrible psychiatric reactions from Singulair, another Merck drug and have some advice:

1. Organize as a group

2. make sure everyone makes an adverse event report to the FDA http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/index.html
1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332)

3. put up a website

4. NOW MAKE NOISE! LOTS OF NOISE!

have representatives of your group scour the internet for other websites/discussion boards to spread new about your group.

In the NOW National Conference: 2007 one of the workshops called:
Cervical Cancer: Should Young Women Get the HPV Vaccination? was run by Rose Afriyie, Jan Erickson, Andrea Layman, MPH, MSW

here is an abstract:
"A firestorm of controversy has arisen around a new vaccine, Gardasil, which could prevent infection by two of the high risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that sometimes lead to cervical cancer. The vaccine's manufacturer launched a high profile ad campaign and multi-million dollar lobbying effort to convince state legislatures to require vaccination of all 11 and 12 year old girls. But making the HPV vaccine mandatory has resulted in opposition from the vaccine's developer, leading medical authorities, parents' groups and the religious right. Because the vaccine is very expensive and has not been adequately tested in pre-teens, many doctors and state legislatures are backing away. Come hear further discussion on who needs this vaccine, what kind of protection it will provide and how women can prevent cervical cancer."

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

I have interstitial cystitis (not due to gardisil) and came across a supplement that works wonders for me: Cystoprotek. Some women have gotten relief from Desert Harvest Aloe Vera supplements (NOT the liquid from healthfood stores).

Find information about both here: http://www.ic-network.com/

Hello. First, let me start by saying that I am so sorry to hear about what has happened to you - to all of the young women that are suffering because of this selfish drug company.
My daughter received her first injection on August 19th, 2008. There were no problems right away. As a matter of fact, we are just making the connection between her illness and the vaccination.
In late September or very early October, she started with what we thought was a virus - typical - sore throat, headache (VERY SEVERE), body aches- neck ache in particular (VERY SEVERE), fever- lingered around 101 for approx. 5-6 days, rash, AND abdominal and back pain. Specifically, mid-back pain accompanied by frequent urination and abdominal pain.
We eventually ended up in the ER, and they attributed this to dehydration, but I am not convinced. The back pain and abdominal pain is back again. The other symptoms have never gone away, and a whole host of other symptoms have popped up.
She now has numbness in her arms, accompanied by severe pain in her right arm - the arm that she received the injection in. She also has numbness in her legs, all the way up to her thighs (to her hips, basically) and that comes with pain in her right leg. She gets pain in her wrists, elbows, head, neck, and other joints. She has numbness in her face. There is so much that I really can't even list everything.
We are very frustrated by the fact that every time we contact the doctor about this - they just don't seem to know what to do. If the doctor doesn't know what to do, then who does????
Have you had any success with the resources that I saw in a posting from a few months ago?? I would definately be interested in looking into that - please let me know how far you have gotten.
I know that it will take a group of "victims" sticking together to get anyone to listen. And, since this happened to a population of females - most likely, everyone is being told that they are imagining things, or that things are in their heads, or my favorite - you are too emotional, if you could just relax, you would start to feel better.
Well, I don't know about you, but I won't be talked to that way and I definately won't let my daughter! There is definately something not right with this vaccine and they need to STOP giving it out - PERIOD!!
I hope that this message finds you feeling better. My thoughts and prayers are with you,
MD PTA Mom
