My 12 yr. old daughter had her first gardasil shot last summer and her 3rd in January. She has been complaining of headaches, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, confusion, as she put it 'she felt like an alien'. I just figured it was preteen/body change/that time of the month stuff and thought it would pass. She only complained of headaches a few times after the first shot, didn't even think of them being from the shot but then more after the 2nd shot, still didn't make a connection, and now it's an every day thing. This morning again the headache/nausea/stomach pain, crying from the pain and Tylenol isn't helping. I got her to go to school but after 2 hours had to go pick her up. She said it was worse. We will be back at the doctors for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. With the possibility of this being from the gardasil, I wish I had never gotten the shots. The not knowing, is this from the gardasil? will it pass? get worse? and what she is going through. No it's not worth it

My daughters had their first gardasil shots yesterday. My 13 year old is complaining of terrible headaches that 400 mg. of Motrin every 6 hours will not take care of. This was highly recommended by her family doctor. I was totally unaware of the side effects to this drug and will not allow my daughters to continue with their series.
My 15 year old who also received her first injection yesterday is complaining that her back is hurting.
Both my girls were in perfect health yesterday when they entered their doctors office. Now today they are complaining of ailments that have come on after their injections.
I feel for the girls that are receiving these shots and having the terrible adverse affects. I am in hopes that all gets better with my girls and I am so thankful that I found this site. This as I mentioned before has totally changed my way of thinking about this shot. No more.... why does the FDA allow this to continue to happen to our young woman???
