Clinical narrative: Adverse reaction to the HPV (Gardasil) vaccine.  This is a summary of what we have been through for over a year.   Patient was 14 at the time of her first vaccination (first vaccine 7/11/07, second vaccine 9/12/07). She was just the average teenager enjoying herself and having fun with her friends.  She works hard and really struggles to do well in school and is in honors classes. She is a real achiever. She also has dreams for her future and goals that are very important to her. We did not know that July 11th, 2007 would be the day that would change our lives.  This is what our family's life has been like. When the Gardasil adverse reaction started July 12th, 2007, we started logging it to see if there was a pattern and there was no pattern. The migraine headaches went on for months and she would just scream. It was so hard because we did not know what to do.  She has been in and out of the hospital and emergency rooms, several dozen doctor appointments (over 50 doctors), dozens of trips for blood work. She has been on approximately 70+ different types of medicine including Demerol to stop the pain. They have checked for anemic, valley fever, thyroid problems, allergies, asthma, sinus infections, chest x-rays, MRI, CT scans, eyes checked, EEG, EKG, upper GI, endoscopy (upper scope), heavy metal poisoning, arthritis/inflammation, checked her white blood cells, etc. She has had migraine headaches that were every day and were so bad that she would scream. She said that it felt like someone was stabbing her in the head with a knife. Her heart burn made her curl up on the floor in severe pain, she has an inflamed esophagus which was a result of chronic coughing. She missed approximately 50 days of school.   We have been seeing a neurologist that specializes in migraine headaches (1st appt. 11/8/2007). We are also seeing a naturopathic doctor (1st appt. 6/2/2008) because the doctors in the medical profession do not know what to do other than give her more drugs. We are still dealing with ice pick migraine headaches, acid reflux, chronic cough, chills, fevers, joint pain and she is always very tired.  We have spent over $12,000 out of pocket that the insurance did not cover. This was just for a vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer! It is amazing what side effects they did not tell you. This has totally changed our lives and what we do on a daily basis.

Symptoms: Abdominal pain upper, Diarrhoea, Haematochezia, Pyrexia, Screaming
Clinical narrative: My daughter started having intense diarreah 4 hours after getting the vaccination (oral rotatech).  She was sick and up all night the night after receiving the vaccination.  She had some blood in her stool after many episodes of the diarreah.  She was also screaming uncomtrollably for several hours and pulling her legs up  like she was in pain.  After a few hours the screaming stopped but the diarreah continued for about 48 hours.  I then got sick with intense stomach cramping and diarreah a few days later.  About a week after all of this, my 2 year old also got sick.....really sick.  She had a fever of 103.0 degrees and was vomiting every 30-45 minutes for about 12 hours.  She had a fever for about three days and was vomiting for about 36 hours.  She then had bad diarreah.  We called the hospital and they told us she had rotavirus most likely and to be sure to keep her hydrated, whish was difficult because she could not keep anything down, even water.  We were able to keep her hydrated with ice chips and after three days she began to improve.
