Vaccine (GARDASIL) symptoms, pt presented serious and debilitating injuries, including but not limited to autonomic, autoimmune, and neurological injuries and resulting sequalae, and had been diagnosed with various medical conditions, including but not limited to Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

Additionally, as a direct and proximate result of her vaccine-induced injuries the pt suffered and would continue to suffer economic losses, including considerable financial expenses for medical care and treatment, and diminished income capacity and would continue to incur. The outcome of the reported claimed events was not recovered, and the reporters considered the events to be related to Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL).  The reporter considered Musculoskeletal disorder, Nervous system disorder, Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, Autoimmune disorder and Arthralgia to be disabling events.
