My 13yr old niece has always been a healthy, active and straight A student. Then on 11/5/08 during a routine physical, she received her 1st dose of Gardasil. On 11/28/08 she started to complain that she felt weak and had a headache. Since it was 2 days after Thanksgiving we thought that she was tired from all the holiday activities. On 11/29/08 she had a headache and stayed in bed all day. She got up that afternoon & had 2 seizures. She was rushed to the ER. As of today, March 8, 2009 she is still in the hospital in Intensive Care Unit. She has been in critical condition since. Within 2 days after her seizure, she lost the ability to eat,speak,walk and communicate in anyway. She is completely unresponsive. She is on the ventilator, she is basically in a coma. We do know she has an viral infection with a shadow on the left side of her brain. All of the testing that has been done all show negative for any illness or diseases. We are still unsure if she will come out of this. This has been completely devastating to our family. We have no answers from doctors. Even though we know in our hearts that this was a side effects from Gardasil. I don't know if they will ever fully admit it. We are left to watch and wait. That is what the doctors tell us daily..

hi, i was reading your article about your niece, this is so horrible. I hope she is better now, my daughter has been having alot of problems since November 10, 2008. She has always been active and healthy, after the second shot things changed. She passes out and pulse and B/P drop. She is always tired and has headaches. The passing out is becoming more frequent, she has a cardiologist she sees and he recently changed her meds. She passed out twice in one week, the 9th and 13th of this month. She was admitted in the hospital on the 9th, seen a neurologist and he did an EEG, said it looked fine. When she passed out on the 13th she was at work, the people that were with her said her body was shaking, which made me think it was a seizure. She will be 18 on April 1st. I cannot get one doctor to even agree with me that i think it is connected to Gardasil, i am possitive that it is,this has been going on since November. She now has a vent monitor to watch her heartbeat, she will wear it for one month, her pulse drops as low as 39 then she passes out, each time after this happens, it is becoming harder to wake her up. Does your niece have effects of passing out since the shot?

I'm so sorry to hear your story. My niece hasn't gotten any better. She is home from the hospital now. She is on the ventilator. She has had many complications that include iregular heart rate as high as 250 beats per minute. High and very low blood pressure. She had a lot of involuntary nuerological movement in the beginning. She was home in Feb for 3 days but was air lifted back after she stopped breathing (she had only the tracheostomy) she had a internal body temp of 108.2.
Since then she hasn't moved any parts of her body. She is still unresponsive. She does look around now but thats it. There is still no FIRM diagnosis. The doctors will not consider giving the diagnosis of a vaccine reaction. We know that we had a healthy 13 yr old girl before the shot was given to her. Every test has given us negative results for any other illness or diseases. So in our hearts we know what happened to her.
We have to keep looking further for a doctor who will take the time to treat her. We need answers, this will continue to happen to other girls unless they stop this vaccine..
I have a website that I created for her, email me if you are interested.
