Clinical narrative: Within one week of receiving the first shot (10/24/2007), I experienced flu-like symptoms, fever, and such severe vaginal discomfort that I went to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. It cleared up, but my health felt off - worse digestion, I started getting heartburn, feeling fatigue, started seeing floaters in my vision and getting terrible headaches, and my menstrual cycle started becoming more irregular. I had always been like clockwork. I started losing weight, which was unusual, as I had always been overweight and had a hard time losing weight. I began feeling more and more irritable, but made no connections to the Gardasil shot. In March, immediately after receiving the second vaccine (3/17/08), my arm hurt terribly, I felt lightheaded, woozy, and had hives appear. Within 1 week, I started experiencing vaginal irritation again, fever, and had flu like symptoms. Over the course of the next month, I started to feel such severe fatigue, stomach aches, and uncontrollable diarrhea, that I went to my doctor. She told me I probably just had acid reflux. Two days later, I experience debilitating stomach pain, which lasted for nearly 1 month. I had an endoscopy, a CT scan, allergy tests, and blood work for thyroid disorders and other imbalances, all of which have come back reasonably normal and regular for my body and system. I did have some esophageal damage from acid reflux, and was put on Prevacid. Receiving no answers from the clinic, I cut out gluten, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, caffeine, alcohol, yeasts, and sugar from my diet and started working with an acupuncturist and naturopath. Stool sampling showed signs of Candida Yeast overgrowth in my intestines and parasites, which I am combating naturally with help from my naturopath, and managed to eliminate with diets and supplements after 9 months of treatment. I a got off the Prevacid successfully with her help, and am starting to feel stronger.   All total, after the vaccines, I experienced extreme weight loss (50 pounds),  hair loss, fatigue, eye itchiness, emotional upset, headaches, joint pain, tingling/numbness in hands and feet, lower body temperature, increasing food allergies/sensitivites, disruption in my sleep, decreased strength, muscle loss, continued gastrointestinal pain, alternating diarrhea/constipation, persistent Bacterial Vaginosis.  My energy is better and digestive issues have regulated, but I am on a very restrictive diet.  Em  I am still suffering amenorrhea and low hormone production, am easily fatigued, and still suffer occasional neurological issues.  All other labwork shows no sign of unusual health issues other than food allergies. 11/23/09 Medical records received for date 10/24/07 to 8/6/08. OV 10/24/07 Normal GYN exam. Pap smear WNL.
