I am a 22 year old, healthy female and received my fist two shots last September. By November, I began to notice my hair falling out, which became more excessive in December, prompting me to receive blood tests for thyroid problems, nutritional imbalances, etc. Everything came back negative and I self diagnosed the problem to be a hormonal imbalance caused by my birth control (which was hard to believe being that I had been on it for two years with no hair loss). I stopped the pill the end of January and my hair loss coincidentally stopped as well. I received my third shot in April, and sure enough the same devastating hair loss began two months later, which is classic with drug induced alopecia (hair loss). I am CONVINCED that Guardasil has caused this devastating reaction that has caused me to loose half my head of hair. It is October and I am still experiencing significant hair loss. This vaccine has caused me nearly a year of emotional turmoil over my thinning hair.

I am a 13 yr old girl and I got my Gardasil shots today. I was reading the other posts to this message and it seems to me that I am a little young for this. Anyway, my main problem is my period. About an hour after my shots I started my period. It's 2 - 2 1/2 weeks early. I'm really scared after having read these other posts and being so young...

Hello-
I am so sorry to hear your story.
I posted a little while ago about my daughter's hair loss.
I was wondering if you have seen any regrowth ?
