i'm a fourteen year old girl, who has been completely healthy my entire life. about a week or two after i got the gardisil shot, i went on vacation in the outer banks. when i returned i started experiencing severe abdominal pain, feeling nauseated, fatigued, having muscle pains and confusion. i went to my family doctor, who diagnosed me with the flu and gave me antibiotics. days later, i wasn't getting any better so my mom took me to the emergency room where i was put on an iv for dehydration. i was sent home with medicine for the abdominal pain, which gave me no relief. i returned to the emergency room several days later due to the same issues, and was put on an iv for dehydration again. they took blood to test for a bunch of different things, but everything came back normal. i was sent home again, and over the next month i was referred to a gastroenterologist, where i had a CT scan of my stomach, an upper gi/barrium swallow, an upper endoscopy with biopsies, a MRI of my brain, and tests done on my liver and gall bladder, all of which came back normal. i was admitted to the hospital on august 20th, the day i was supposed to start high school. i was put on an iv again, and had liquids dripping in me for about 12 hours. my gastroenterologist seemed to think i was bringing everything on myself and might have a minor case of IBS. the doctor made me talk to a psych, who basically told me i must be stressed and had to be bringing it on myself. the doctor sent me home, telling my parents to force me to go to school. i cried the whole way home from the hospital, no one was even trying to make me feel better, and i hated the doctors for thinking i could bring something like this on myself. i started my first week of high school later than everyone else, i felt completely exhausted and threw up in the bathroom between classes. a day at school takes everything out of me, and i have to spend the next day in bed. my mom and i just saw all these side effects of the gardisil shot and are convinced that's what caused all this. i couldn't try out for the volleyball team, i've lost 14 pounds, i might have to re-do my freshman year because i'm missing so much, i can't hang out with my friends, i can't even go to homecoming and im honestly depressed because of all. this has ruined everything for me. don't let anyone tell you it's all in your head, its not, this is real and its effecting a lot of girls. please think twice before getting the gardisil shot

hi i am sitting here reading your horrible story and can't help myself to think about the situation that my 16 year old daughter is NOW going through!!! She reminds me so much of you... We have also been through hell with hospital visits,hospital stays,blood work,MRI,EEG'S,EKG'S, psy doctor's with advice for anxitey and depression medication.No one has any answers!!! My daughter played high school jv basketball and soccer for two years and this year couldn't try out because she was so tired and winded. She has missed 12 days of her junior year and is feeling so left behind. Today was her first full day back and I know she will be exhausted when she gets home!! I feel so sorry for you girls!! We as parents trust doctors and we feel like we were doing the best thing for you at the time. We thought that you were lucky to have a drug like this because we never did and in the end it took away your zest for life!!! I am truly sorry and right now we are living in a nightmare. My daughter lost over 14 pounds after her second shot and soon we were in the ER two days in a row with passing out and convulsions and finally admitted for them just to say .... she has CONVERSION DISORDER???? I had a healthy,happy,beauitful daughter excited about going into her junior year and looking for colleges and now our life is Dr. visits and tests that say she is in PERFECT HEALTH??? Where do you and your parents go from here?
