My daughter went for her yearly physical with our pediatrician. That morning we went in and the doctor insisted that she get immunized. Of course that immunization was Gardasil. My daughter felt fine and she was okay that day. After the doctors appointment she went on to school, and I went on to work to complete what I thought was to be a normal day. That afternoon I picked her up from school and she told me that she thought she may be getting sick. She complained of a stomach ache, and a mild headache. We went home and she ate very little, but told me and her dad that she felt better. That evening she was to cheer at her first football game of the season in a neighboring town. She left with her best friend and her mother around 6 pm. at 8:44 that night her best friends mom called and told us that she had passed out at the game. By the time that we had gotten there EMT's had taken her to the local ER, at that time she had barely regained consciousness, and her temperature was 103 degrees. Her extremities were cold, and her body was burning up. Her breathing was shallow, fast and irradic. Her pulse and blood pressure was extremely high. About an hour later the convulsions started. After what seemed like eternity, the physician narrowed this down to the side effects of Gardasil. They started IV fluids, and meds, but still to no avail she kept convulsing. After a few days of heavily sedated sleep, she awoke to blurred vision, fever and nausea. We were not told of any adverse reactions to this drug or we would have never given it to her!

My seventeen year old didn't see side affect from the shot until three days later. She was laying in the bed and all she could compain about was her back was killing her.I asked her did she lift anything to heavy at work the night before and she no she only worked drive through.That Saturday we ended up at the MEA Medical Clinic where test done and MRI and they found nothing wrong with her back and he question us and conclusion was that was a rare side affect from the shot. She took Physical Therapy for 4 weeks for the sourness and she still compliains.
