The new Gardisil shot

Has anyone experienced any side-effects after getting the Gardisil shot? I have received the Gardisil shot, and soon after I started to experience episodes where I don't know who I am or where I am. We are not sure if this is related to the shot or not... but the dates match up. So, I was wondering if anyone has heard or experienced anything.

Just my two cents.. Many of these arguments echo concerns we had when the polio and small pox vaccines were mandatory. There were  many that had these same side effects... Where would the health of our genreration be if not for these immunizations ? Just food for thought...

No, I'm too old to have gotten it. I wouldn't be too trusting in what your doctors have to say. There are a lot of reasons why they wouldn't want you to be having a reaction to this drug. They could call it something else instead. Possibly they will be on your side with this, but you can never be sure. Please call a lawyer right away. It would be one phone call, it could turn out to be the most important thing you ever did, and it could even turn out that you will end up saving lives because of that call. This is a very serious tragedy happening to our youth brought on by a drug company looking for patients to sell a cure. The truth is you might have never been at risk of getting HPV. If you are not with more than one partner you run a very slim chance of ever getting it. With each additional partner your chance of getting it goes up. If you ue condoms, you're good. This is what we should be doing for our daughters. Telling them the facts. Get regular pap's. Use condoms. There are many things we can do, but we don't need an immunization forced on us just simply assuming we are all going to need it. There is something seriously wrong with that idiology. We as woman, we must fight this with all we have. It is a total insult that they have made it a law that all young woman have these shots. HPV is not something that spreads to everyone like the other childhood illnesses we use immunizations to treat. This is something that is we can control on our own. It's obvious this was brought into being by people who don't understand that we can control ourselves. I could see if this drug wasn't causing problems, but medical science just hasn't come far enough to understand what the long term effects of any drug really are. Don't be fooled by fancy talk. Your doctors are mostly doing a hole lot of guessing.

Yes. Thank-you so much for your help. My mom has done a lot of research for this. We have been asking the doctors and they haven't really thought anything of it. But, recently they have started to take this theory into consideration. Thank-you for your research! Hope to find an answer soon!

This is a little clipping from the info I found:

Since its approval, there have been at least 3,461 complaints of adverse reactions to the Gardasil vaccine, and there could have been as many as eight deaths attributable to Gardasil. According to Judicial Watch, in several instances, blood clots were reported to have occurred after the administration of Gardasil.

Other side effects including paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures were also reported.  Our Gardasil side effect attorneys believe that even these Gardasil adverse event reports could be underestimating the true number of serious Gardisil side effect incidents that have actually occurred.  For that reason, we are seeking to speak with anyone who experienced serious Gardasil side effects.

Gardasil has also been linked to an increased instance of fainting following administration of the vaccine. From 2002-2004 there were a total of about 50 reports of vaccine-related fainting.  But from  2005 until last July, reports of vaccine-related fainting spiked to about 230. About 180 of those cases followed a shot of Gardasil, according to the  CDC).

The Gardasil side effect  reports also include 28 women who miscarried after receiving Gardasil.  In May 2007, a 24-year-old woman suffered a miscarriage, which an investigator in a report issued to the federal government said, “may have been caused by Gardasil because the patient received the injection within 30 days of the pregnancy.” In July 2007, a 17-year-old girl from Texas was unaware she was pregnant when she got her second dose of Gardasil. She miscarried, but the cause of the miscarriage hasn’t been determined, according to a report.  

The reasons for two other miscarriages  in Florida in 2007 - one by a 16-year-old and another by a 24-year-old both - are undetermined, according to reports. But it is known that both women had Gardasil vaccinations shortly before the miscarriages.  If you or someone you know suffered a miscarriage following the administration of Gardasil, it is important that you contact one of our Gardasil side effect lawyers in order to protect your rights.

Most disturbing among the Gardasil side effect reports are those that involve the deaths of young women.  Three young women in the US died shortly after receiving Gardasil, while two other women in Europe also died after the vaccine was administered.  Despite all of these reports, Merck continues to market Gardasil as virtually side-effect free. Our Gardasil side effect lawyers believe that Merck has misled the public about Gardasil's potential dangers, and our law firm intends to hold Merck accountable for these dangerous Gardasil side effects.

I have heard of side effects from Gardisil. There was a show on t.v. about it one night. It was a while ago that I saw it so I don't remember it very well, but it was about the dangers of Gardisil and about all the girls who have serious side effects. The show was saying the side effects were pretty bad in a lot of girls. I remember them saying a lot of them were having episodes of passing out and all sorts of other things that don't happen with other immunizations. There are other people in the medical community that argued the benefits of the drug and that most girls were doing fine. I'm sorry I can't be more exact with the details. You need to look this up, or have someone look this up for you if you aren't feeling well. I am going to researchi this also and see what I can come up with and I'll get back to you. This is really upsetting to here you are having these symptoms. I'm not sure these shots are safe and I worry that unsuspecting young woman may be doing themselves more bad than good getting them. I am not sure how it all weighs out. For something bad to happen to even one girl from this should be a good enough reason for them to stop using it until they can figure out how to make something that won't hurt you or atleast make sure you are completely aware of the fact that it can hurt you before they give it to you.. Right now, I don't think girls are really getting enough information about this before they get it. I think it's being presented to them as no big deal, and with any sort of drug that they themselves don't even understand, is going to be a big deal and a big decision. We don't want our young woman being experimented on while they are figuring it out.
