Vaccine: HPV4, VARCEL
Symptoms: Asthenia, Blood pressure abnormal, Blood test normal, Borrelia burgdorferi serology negative, Chest X-ray normal
Clinical narrative: The date above is simply the most recent event, one of many throughout the past 9 months. This date reflects the diagnosis given by a neurologist of Parsonage Turner syndrome, a rare neurological syndrome which impairs her left arm and shoulder which she first noticed with chest, arm and shoulder pain in March. It has left her left arm and shoulder weak. Her left scapula is markedly bigger and different than her right. My daughter received her first GARDASIL shot in August, right before she left for college. Within two weeks she began having loose bowel movements, fatigue, and complaining of her "legs feeling heavy". She is a runner and was in excellent physical condition. By early October, she had her thyroid levels tested. Normal levels are between 0.5 and 4.5. Her level was 24 leaving extremely fatigued. By the time I got her home and seen by her own physician the levels had dropped dramatically and seemed to have remain now in the normal level. This "acute thyroiditis" is caused by a "virus". Shortly thereafter, she began have dizzy spells, nausea, near fainting spells, often but not exclusively concurring in the middle of the night while lying down heart racing and dysregulation of blood pressure. Along with nausea she had and continues to have burbing/acid reflux symptoms. She was hospitalized by a cardiologist and they found nothing wrong with her heart. They did try her on a bp regulation medication-FLORINET-which seem to make things worse not better. She was referred to and electro physiologist, who met with her but only recommended that she continue to monitor her bp. She had tingling in her face and arms, toothache, nausea - which she has-, migraine like headaches, and then most recently the diagnosis of Parsonage Turner syndrome. Most of these symptoms came and went...the dizzy spells lasted for about 3 months, the headaches have not occurred since April. The Nausea continues as does the tingling in her left hand and left arm weakness. Her stamina is not what it used to be. She tires easily.  7/27/09 Consultant records received DOS 6/4/09 to 6/10/09. Assessment: Left supraclavicular soft tissue lesion. Patient presents with left arm weakness with brachial plexopathy and suggestive of long thoracic neuropathy.  8/4/09 PCP medical records received DOS 8/20/08 to 10/25/08. Assessment: Fatigue in a college freshman. Patient presents with watery stools and abdominal cramping. Weak and lethargic. Not doing as well with her running. Placed on iron and synthroid by college coach based on CBC and TSH - did not see physician. Patient told to discontinue these medications by PCP physician based on PCP ordered lab test results. Follow-up: Pt still suffers from severe fatigue, sensitivity to heat, vertigo, sees spots/lights, tinnitus; still has nerve inflammation behind her carotid artery as seen in most recent MRI (1-10). Now suffers from HASHIMOTO's SYNDROME.

Vaccine: HPV4, VARCEL
Symptoms: Pain in extremity, Palpitations, Paraesthesia, Presyncope, Sensation of heaviness
Clinical narrative: The date above is simply the most recent event, one of many throughout the past 9 months. This date reflects the diagnosis given by a neurologist of Parsonage Turner syndrome, a rare neurological syndrome which impairs her left arm and shoulder which she first noticed with chest, arm and shoulder pain in March. It has left her left arm and shoulder weak. Her left scapula is markedly bigger and different than her right. My daughter received her first GARDASIL shot in August, right before she left for college. Within two weeks she began having loose bowel movements, fatigue, and complaining of her "legs feeling heavy". She is a runner and was in excellent physical condition. By early October, she had her thyroid levels tested. Normal levels are between 0.5 and 4.5. Her level was 24 leaving extremely fatigued. By the time I got her home and seen by her own physician the levels had dropped dramatically and seemed to have remain now in the normal level. This "acute thyroiditis" is caused by a "virus". Shortly thereafter, she began have dizzy spells, nausea, near fainting spells, often but not exclusively concurring in the middle of the night while lying down heart racing and dysregulation of blood pressure. Along with nausea she had and continues to have burbing/acid reflux symptoms. She was hospitalized by a cardiologist and they found nothing wrong with her heart. They did try her on a bp regulation medication-FLORINET-which seem to make things worse not better. She was referred to and electro physiologist, who met with her but only recommended that she continue to monitor her bp. She had tingling in her face and arms, toothache, nausea - which she has-, migraine like headaches, and then most recently the diagnosis of Parsonage Turner syndrome. Most of these symptoms came and went...the dizzy spells lasted for about 3 months, the headaches have not occurred since April. The Nausea continues as does the tingling in her left hand and left arm weakness. Her stamina is not what it used to be. She tires easily.  7/27/09 Consultant records received DOS 6/4/09 to 6/10/09.

Clinical narrative: I took my daughter to a physician she had never been to before. While we were there the nurse suggested my daughter get the GARDASIL injection. I asked her 2 X's what are the side effects of this injection and she said only a slight chance of redness and swelling at the injection site. The Dr came in and AGA IN I asked her about ANY side effect of the GARDASIL, shot and she assured me that there was SIDE EFFECT. I said yes IF you ARE SURE there is NO CHANCE of any side effects.. 3 times I asked her BEFORE the injection. As soon as my daughter got the shot within SECONDS she felt sick. She became hot and clammy. At the check out desk at the Dr's, she felt very weak and dizzy..I asked the receptionists to call back and tell the Dr how my daughter was feeling, the Dr said it would pass. Within 10 minutes after the shot my daughter had extremely bad leg pain on the right side and could not walk. When we got home she felt very SAD and tired. During the night my daughter started throwing up. I called the ER and they said that that was not a normal reaction to an injection. That was Monday night, today is Wednesday and she still is having A LOT of symptoms and problems including muscle weakness, feeling sick, nauseous, chest pain, swollen glands, stomach pain. She went for blood work today and tomorrow a visit to the Dr who gave her the shot. This is CRAZY, she is suffering for what reason???? Because a Dr gave an injection WITHOUT either knowing- ignorantly-what can happen as a side effect on just not TELLING us. THIS MEDICATION SHOULD BE REMOVED..I my daughter should continue to suffer ANYTHING from this injection the makers will be SUED by US.  6/9/09 Medical records received DOS 5/18/09 to 5/20/09.
