No further information is available.  Follow-up: Our daughter has multiple symptoms. She is on pain medication monitored by a pain management doctor she has extreme skeleton pain in her legs and joints to the point where she cries all the time. She has been hospitalized 3 times and has had over 20 emergency visits she has eye strain headaches spots in eyes she has low blood pressure and always cold, she can't sleep because of her pain and has stayed a wake for days, and then she has episodes of not waking up and stays in bed for days. She has not attended school for 3 years except for the occasional 1 to 2 hour class. She blacks out and my wife has to sleep with her she cant be left alone, recently she was walking around our house because of her pain and sleeplessness she was with a friend she had a seizure and he called paramedics they responded and said if she was sleeping she would have died in her sleep she was treated at the ER and saw a neurologist and was put on anti seizure medicine she has unexplained bruising and rashes she can't digest normal food and has extreme constipation and has difficulty urinating skin to sensitive to touch we are a family in crisis we contacted Merck and made a file but nobody contacted us after reading about all the kids affected by this and the pretence that there is no connection to GARDASIL its laughable. We concluded big business taking care of its bottom line not the human beings its infected. They say that every claim is investigated well I can assure they are not nobody contacted us. Our daughters life and ours had been turned upside down and no end insight we only did this because of all the advertising and we saw the surgeon general on TV he said on advertisement as soon as his daughter was of age she would get the shot its anti cancer the C would it's a miracle drug it's a nightmare drug and we were sucked in the by the aggressive misleading adds it worked. The tears sleepless night the destruction of our daughter and our family is inexcusable somebody needs to go to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!. The lies being told that there is no connection and everyday more kids will succumb, for the bottom line of big business if Toyota and BP got found out why can't somebody open there eyes and say enough stop this until it can be explained. The system is broke and our children are being destroyed and or dead. What does it take for awake up call this is not the stock market or the banks this is human beings banks can be funded stocks can recover what about the lives of our children who can't repair the damage we don't know what the further holds but somebody needs to take responsibility before more children lives are destroyed. All I seem to do is run into brick walls. The doctors don't know how to treat her we have  been to every type of doctor every ologist there is and they all throw up there hands and say we don't know what's wrong Merck knows and should be forced to help but that means admitting they screwed up and that relates to dollars so here we are everybody hiding from the truth because of there own personnel damage control a very distraught parent who has lost his normal life my daughter was never sick now we live in doctors offices searching for answers and help with very little faith in the system and the government and Merck we have a huge book of tests and medicines and we just want our daughter back to normal and our lives you can not imagine the damage that has been done to this family. I hope this letter does not fall on stoney ground or deaf ears. We have so much information from tests if it will help. Why has there not been a investigation to help us by giving us a doctor who has knowledge of the drugs side effects and how to treat this nightmare every doctor we have seen in the dark Merck has information how were the patients in the clinical trials treated. Also why did they use the ingredients in the placebo? ?? This allowed the reaction levels to be false. An American family in mental anguish and financial devastation I refuse to accept that we are an acceptance percentage. If it was their daughter??? How many of Mercks people have had the shot now that it is obviously a problem??????. A tax paying American citizen looking for answers and help.
