Clinical narrative: I received the second shot of Gardasil vaccine on July 3, 2008 at 7:00 PM in my left deltoid. I immediately developed a rash following 15 minutes after vaccination. An hour after the injection, I was feeling dizzy and disoriented. I was admitted to the emergency room on July 14th, due to projectile vomit, dehydration, and weakness. I was dangerously dehydrated after throwing up more than 15 times in a single hour and was unable to swallow my own saliva without throwing up again. I was incapacitated and unable to walk, requiring to be carried into the hospital.  Following my emergency room visit, I started experiencing hyper-sensitivity to my environment and products I used in my daily routine; a symptom characteristic of Polysorbate 80 poisoning considering it has been known to produce reactions of anaphylaxis, which is a constituent in the Gardasil vaccine. I experienced allergic reactions to face creams that were a customary part of my routine for years, inducing swelling of my face and nasal passages. These reactions continued without explanation and though I discontinued the use of all products that created reactions, my body's hyper-sensitivity did not dissipate. On August 2, 2008 I applied my acne cream Retin-A micro at night. By the morning, the entirety of my face had become severely swollen and did not recede completely for two days. It was so severe that it shut my right eye completely. Retin-A had never been a problem before. I was then bitten by an unknown insect in my sleep a few days later and awoke to find a swollen growth the size of a golf-ball on my arm. It was extremely itchy and an incredible ache spread through my arm and up to my shoulder. The following morning the swelling had disappeared and the ache had receded. On August 9, I started to lose all my sensation in my legs. The numbness slowly spread first throughout the left side of my body, including my face and head. In the following two days it consumed the rest of my body, numbing in patches of skin often characterized by Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I also had broncho-constriction and difficulty breathing. I was again admitted to the emergency room and administered epinephrine and given prednisone to stabilize the immunological response of my body and the overwhelming presence of histamines. I remained on prednisone for two months due to the consistent vaso-dilation of my airways if not treated. My back became covered in hives and a red rash, along with my legs breaking out in hives everyday. My body remained numb and with slight edema throughout my body. My muscles would sometimes become rigid and unmovable, usually in my arms or legs and often by muscles groups, such as the quadriceps or flexors of my forearms. This progressed to become periods of complete paralysis, where I would awake from sleep and being unable to move for 20 minutes or more. I started experiencing excruciating pain in my joints and in the Eustachian tubes of my ears, along with electrical shocks of stabbing pain that would move up and down my spine. Throughout the entirety of this I experienced an overwhelming fatigue and malaise, leaving me disabled from performing normal daily activities. Due to the severity of my symptoms I was put on state disability for 9 months. During this time I was seeing a general physician who could not identify the cause of my symptoms and referred me to a neurologist. I underwent several diagnostic tests, including an MRI, which thankfully returned back normal. He neither could diagnose the cause for my pain, but surmised that a vaccine could be culprit and that though the diagnostic tests came back normal, they are not indicative of any damage not being present. The toxicity in my body created by Gardasil was causing me neurological and immunological symptoms. Not surprising considering the Sodium Borate used in Gardasil, which the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health declares as a dangerous poison. The common symptoms of Sodium Borate poisoning disturbingly similar to the symptoms I have experienced. My doctors asked me to simply wait it out and allow my own body to process the toxins and recover itself.   This has not happened. Beginning in January I started experiencing tremors, where my body would involuntarily jerk. They have progressed over the months and have become increasingly violent, until on September 29th I fell to the floor and began convulsing uncontrollably in a seizure. I was rushed to the emergency room once more and was hospitalized until Thursday. My EEG while resting and not in an attack came back normal, but I believe they are caused by the high toxicity created by Gardasil. The fact that they are not psychogenic-seizures has been verified by my psychologist. Despite receiving this vaccine, which nearly has cost me my life, I now have mild-dysplasia, or pre-cancerous cells in my cervix. I am not surprised however, considering Merck's own report states that if a patient was previously exposed to the virus that the probability of developing high-grade pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix by 44.6%. According to a service of the Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health, a report shows that neonatal rats were injected with small doses of Polysorbate 80 and the results were major effects on the reproductive organs of the rats, resulting in infertility. There hasn't been any studies conducted on human girls until now, unsuspecting millions that may be infertile. All my neurological symptoms can be linked to the fact that each Gardasil vaccine contains 225mcg of Aluminum, which is a neurotoxin that can enter the brain. There's also 35mcg of Sodium Borate in each shot, which has been banned for use in foods. All of these ingredients are toxic and when at poisonous levels cause the symptoms I've experienced and am experiencing. The levels of these toxins that are in each shot are far beyond what can be considered poisoning and my symptoms are common to symptoms associated with poisoning of those ingredients. I also have now been diagnosed with hypertension, with a reading as high as 154/97 at only 21 years old. I am only 120 lbs and used to be an avid dancer and runner. The damage that this vaccine has caused is on-going and has already cost me 14 months of my life. I was disabled for 9 months and am still desperately trying to recover. The blind eye that the CDC has turned to the suffering of thousands of women is incomprehensible and against the foundations of what the country is founded on; Gardasil having been fast tracked through the FDA and now leaving a trail of devastation. I am continuing to seek medical specialists that are more competent and compiling evidence to prove that Gardasil is the culprit of my illness, though the common reports amongst thousands of woman should already have been enough.
