Clinical narrative: My daughter was given the 3 Gardasil vaccinations.  They were given over a 6 month time, beginning in October of 2007.  Shortly after receiving the first injection, she complained of feeling "thick-headed" and had difficulty comprehending things. She had started a new job, that was similar to a previous one, but couldn't seem to grasp what was being told.  Following the second injection, she began having frequent crying spells, continued feelings of confusion, and she broke up with a then boyfriend, and quit her job.  This was the first time she hadn't worked since she was 15 years old.  She began a new job in March, after taking a couple months off.  Things were going OK, until she received the third injection in April.  By July, she was exhibiting confusion and mania.  She was taken to see her family physician, who advised seeing a psychiatrist.  She was told that she was having a "manic episode and was possibly bipolar."  By the end of Aug. it was necessary to hospitalize her for treatment.  In the interim, she was diagnosed with having high mercury levels in her blood and adipose tissue.  A decision was made to treat her for an acute immune response, due to the combination of the reaction to the Gardasil injections, mercury levels and stress.  Every physician who had seen her asked the same questions about her past medical history, and every one of them, consisting of MD's, a DO, and 2 Naturopaths felt that her illness was due to an acute reaction, or a combination of "things" that overwhelmed her body.  She is now on psychiatric drugs, and is receiving supportive care from the Naturopaths.  The hope is to detoxify her body.  She has not had any previous issues with mental instability.  11/21/2008 MR received for DOS 8/29-9/01/2008 with D/C DX: Bipolar Disorder with Manic and Delusion, resolved.

Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Chills, Confusional state, Discomfort, Dyspnoea, Fatigue
Clinical narrative: Commencing approx. 3-4 hrs. after injection, I was experiencing some discomfort from my left shoulder across my chest and into my back. Hard to describe the symptoms. As time went on it became more intense, and oppresive. The pain/aching was from my breasts up to my neck. Felt confused, developed chills to the extent I had to go to bed. This was around 11:15 PM. I literally was shaking.  I took 2 Tylenol 650 Mg. tablets.  They helped a little with the discomfort, but not the shaking and shivering.  The symptoms continued all night, could not sleep, was up and down and felt I was shutting down. By 4 AM the sypmtoms seemed to be easing up, coming and going. Took 2 more Tylenol.After 7 am I fell asleep and slept until 11:15 AM. I have been getting flu shots for the past 11 years since I had quadruple by-pass and have never had a reaction. Have no idea if this was the shot or what....I felt pretty good, but extremely tired all day Sat.,I sent the original letter before I forgot half the symptoms...had trouble breathing, had to keep taking deep breaths, no pain in my lungs, just that overall aching and fatigue in the areas I described....I live alone and in the cold light of day, I should have called 911 or someone...That is how confused I was...kind of spaced out. Over-all feel I am in pretty good shape. I still work 11 hours a week. I don't think I will ever get the flu shot again...even though we will probably never know if this was the cause, or just a bug of some sort.
