I am 20 years old and my sister is 17 years old. My sister received her first shot about a month and a half before I received mine. Her arm was sore for a few weeks. After a few weeks have passed she began to itch all over her body, and began to have blotches all over (the worst spot was her ankles and feet-they looked swollen). She went to the doctor and he said that he did not think it was from the gardasil shot, but could be irritated and dry skin. So, not thinking it would happen to me as well, I received my shot. Everything seemed fine, no pain at all. But then About a month later ( a week ago ) I woke up to itching ALL over(extremely bad on my stomach & arms). I tried using an anti-itch lotion and took medicine to attempt the itching and redness to go away and keep washing myself , but it did not really do anything. When I woke up the next day, it was mostly gone and the doctor said he did not think it was from the shot either. I just found it to be quite a coincidence that my sister AND i both received itchy-blotchiness around the same time period after the shot. But, after my sister received her second shot she was perfectly fine, with the exception of a soar arm where the shot was taken place. I did not go for my second one yet, but I hope everything turns out okay! If anyone else received any type of blotches or itchiness please let me know, we are very curious to see if its happened to anyone else too.

please read more information before you get anymore shots. My daughter has recently developed some issues with her period after being consistent for several years. I am afraid it may be "pos" a fertility issue. I wish she NEVER would have had the shots.

I should be in my last semester of my senior year, but since I graduated early, I am in my first semester of college. During may of my sophomore year, I received the gardasil vaccination. In July, I came down with mono and extreme cysts. I become severely depressed, and I missed three months of my junior year. Towards the last semester of my junior year, I became depressed again, and got another infectious internal disease, periods so messed up even though I took the pill every day at the same time, and the headaches were so bad. Now, about a week ago, during my first semester of college, I have been vomitting and diahrea, and have had a RASH now, all over me, blotchy, for a week. I believe that this is all due to the gardasil vaccination. I never got sick before it, and now I do, A LOT.
