Also see flashes of light like a shooting star to right of eye when it is dark.  Went to Hospital Saturday but they didn't have equipment to check it so was sent to another Hospital and got there Sunday morning at about 2 a.m.  Was examined about 6 a.m., dilated etc.  They said vitreous fluid was detatched and was causing the floaters in my eye but my retina was not detatched.  Released with instructions to follow up with an eye specialist within 2 weeks.  They didn't connect it with the flu vaccine but I had no eye injury or other event that was known to cause it so thought I should report in case it was a side effect.  I still have the floaters and light flashes on Monday 9/28/09.

Clinical narrative: My daughter had her first dose of Gardasil in October of 2007, then her second dose November of 2007, and her last dose April 2008. Right after (approxamatly 1 month) her 3rd dose she started having spells that she would black out and be mumbling to where nobody could understand her. She just thought she was day dreaming and so she did not inform us. In the first of September of 2008, patient had came home from school and was very tired. She went up to her room and laid down for about 1 hour. Then she came down stairs and sat on our fireplace step and started talking totally out of her head and we could not understand her. Our first reaction was she was doing drugs and we was going to take her to her Pediatrician. The following week at her softball practice she did it again in front of her coach and father. Her father called me and I immediately called her pediatrician and made an appointment the next day. Her pediatrician told us to take her to a child Neurologist. We got in the following week with her Neurologists and he initially thought that it was her anxiety causing it. He did an EEG and that came back negative and then he did an Mri and that came back negative. Dr. then decided that it was probably caused by her anxiety and sent us to a child Phsyciatrist to have her tested. Still at this time Dr. wasn't sure if these were seizures. We then went and saw the Phsyciatrist and he did some testing and figured out it was not her anxiety and thought her anxiety wasn't that bad. We then had an appointment the next couple of days with her Neurologist. While at the appointment patient went into a seizure in front of the Dr. I had been explaining to him that they have been getting worse. Instead of having them maybe once a week she was having them 2 to 3 times a week and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Dr. stated while she was in the seizure that she was definitely having a seizure and I told him that this was the first time I had seen her posture. Dr. had an EEG done immediately and it did come back that the left side of her brain is seizing. He put her on Lamictal XR and we have been working our way up on it the past 6 weeks. Patient has also been getting acne worse and a rash on the back of her arms that we have not been able to get rid of at this time. Her dermatologist is giving her medication to try and treat it. I do not know the exact dates patient had her shots, but I do know the months. I also called her Pediatrician to let her know what has happened and we thought it could have been from the Gardasil vaccination and she checked with the drug rep. and he stated that it has not been proven that the vaccination is causing seizures in the girls.

While at the appointment patient went into a seizure in front of the Dr. I had been explaining to him that they have been getting worse. Instead of having them maybe once a week she was having them 2 to 3 times a week and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Dr. stated while she was in the seizure that she was definitely having a seizure and I told him that this was the first time I had seen her posture. Dr. had an EEG done immediately and it did come back that the left side of her brain is seizing. He put her on Lamictal XR and we have been working our way up on it the past 6 weeks. Patient has also been getting acne worse and a rash on the back of her arms that we have not been able to get rid of at this time. Her dermatologist is giving her medication to try and treat it. I do not know the exact dates patient had her shots, but I do know the months. I also called her Pediatrician to let her know what has happened and we thought it could have been from the Gardasil vaccination and she checked with the drug rep. and he stated that it has not been proven that the vaccination is causing seizures in the girls.

Clinical narrative: My daughter had her first dose of Gardasil in October of 2007, then her second dose November of 2007, and her last dose April 2008. Right after (approxamatly 1 month) her 3rd dose she started having spells that she would black out and be mumbling to where nobody could understand her. She just thought she was day dreaming and so she did not inform us. In the first of September of 2008, patient had came home from school and was very tired. She went up to her room and laid down for about 1 hour. Then she came down stairs and sat on our fireplace step and started talking totally out of her head and we could not understand her. Our first reaction was she was doing drugs and we was going to take her to her Pediatrician. The following week at her softball practice she did it again in front of her coach and father. Her father called me and I immediately called her pediatrician and made an appointment the next day. Her pediatrician told us to take her to a child Neurologist. We got in the following week with her Neurologists and he initially thought that it was her anxiety causing it. He did an EEG and that came back negative and then he did an Mri and that came back negative. Dr. then decided that it was probably caused by her anxiety and sent us to a child Phsyciatrist to have her tested. Still at this time Dr. wasn't sure if these were seizures. We then went and saw the Phsyciatrist and he did some testing and figured out it was not her anxiety and thought her anxiety wasn't that bad. We then had an appointment the next couple of days with her Neurologist.

Clinical narrative: Initial report was received on 17 September 2009 from an investigator participating in a non-sponsored sanofi pasteur study. The investigator reported this event electronically to VAERS (VAERS ID # E-31873). A 13-year-old female subject with a history of reactive airway disease and nasal allergies had received an injection of FLUZONE SV 2009-2010, lot number U3200AA (route and site not reported) on the morning of 28 August 2009 through a school based influenza vaccination program. A short time later, the subject complained of a headache and a "closed throat". Physical examination revealed an alert and oriented child in no evidence of respiratory distress and on auscultation, and she had clear breath sounds without wheezing. The emergency medical team (EMT) arrived at 13:25. Her initial vital signs revealed BP of 130/90, HR 100 beats/minute and 98% oxygen saturation. She was able to move air well, but was unable to take deep breaths. The subject was administered 50 mg of BENADRYL (suspension) and had no difficulty swallowing. Urticaria developed on her face and she complained of shallow breathing, tongue hurting, chest pain and difficulty swallowing. The subject was placed on 10 1/minute of oxygen by face mask. EMS (emergency medical services) arrived at 13:35 and transferred the subject via ambulance to the emergency department. At the time of transfer, the subject was off oxygen and in no distress. The final diagnosis was Urticaria with possible angioedema. The patient had been taking ADDERAL 20 mg and CLARITIN 10 mg daily; and FLONASE prn. According to the reporter, the event of urticaria and possible angioedema was serious and unexpected; and the event was determined by the investigator to be related to FLUZONE. The subject's recovery status was not reported. Documents held by sender: None.
