She went to the ER 2twice, both times treated with a migraine and sent home. Exactly one week from receiving vacc, fam dr agreed something was wrong with patient, spoke with a neurologist who advised to get her to the hospital immediately.  There she was on morphine for a week straight, received MRI's, CAT scans with and without contrast, xrays, ultrasounds, spinal tap, HIDA scan tons of lab work.... she also became non responsive at one point and dr's couldnt explain how or why it happened.  She was discharged with heavy narcotics and only a diagnosis of mononucleosis. They also thought she had pneumonia, Lyme disease, West Nile which all turned out to be false positives. At one point they were getting ready to remove her gallbladder but did further tests to realize it wasn't necessary. She's been back to the ER since this visit, just 2 wks ago, with shortness of breath and major chest pain... all xrays, labs, CAT scan and HQ scan turned out good, all organs appear fine. Dr discharged her with no diagnosis as he couldn't figure out what caused the pain. He sugg she follow up with 2 other specialists which we have appointments for 1 and trying to get the other one scheduled. Each day is different pain, never knowing what is going to happen with her :(  She no longer can do most active things, sports/workout etc... all from Gardasil vaccine :(

Symptoms: Asthenopia, Blood test normal, Computerised tomogram normal, Fatigue, Headache
Clinical narrative: Severe headache onset-lasted 3 weeks, broken by shot of migraine medication + oral medication + ongoing medication daily (headaches STILL return without the oral daily medications); exhaustion-ongoing vomiting- 3-5 times per day; lasted for 4 weeks; sensitivity to light- severe for 6 months; now occurs when migraine headaches break through; eye strain (reading, looking at tv/computer) leads to severe migraine. Treatment for all symptoms began with hospitalization when I blacked out after presenting with symptoms multiple times to the doctor. I was sent for CAT scans, MRIs and bloodwork, all of which came back normal. Upon blacking out from pain and vomiting, I was also administered magnesium and a migraine medicine. Pain medication simply caused another migraine. After a two week hospitalization, I spent another 3 months at home, unable to tolerate lights on or sounds above a whisper, until medications to control my brain were adjusted.  I remain on several medications, am receiving botox shots around my entire head every 3 months, and have numerous changes in my personality, brain performance and activity level since the shot.
