The patient's medical history, concurrent conditions, and concomitant medications were not reported.   On 19-MAY-2021, when the pt was at 37 years old, she was vaccinated with the first dose of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) (exact dose, lot number, expiration date, route of administration, and anatomical location were not provided) administered for preventing cervical cancer.   In May 2021 immediately, the pt experienced weakness and nearly fainted after getting the injection. Severity of the weakness made it difficult for Pt to walk up a flight of stairs. Pt continued to suffer extreme weakness and fatigue, and next began experiencing pain in her joints, brain fog, short-term memory loss, trouble gripping and lifting objects, body-aches, dizziness and vertigo, nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and palpitations. Pt also began experiencing numbness in her arms, legs, hands, and feet, chronic headaches, and insomnia. She began to experience an ongoing burning and tingling pain in her feet, legs, arms, and hands. Pt was ultimately diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy with symptoms consistent with mononeuritis multiplex. She was seen by multiple physicians and specialists for her complaints which now included: pain in joints, brain fog, short-term memory loss, trouble gripping and lifting objects, body-aches, dizziness and vertigo, nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, burning and tingling pain in her feet, legs, arms, and hands, fatigue, chronic headaches, and insomnia.  The Pt had been unable to engage in normal activities that a normal young person would enjoy; unable to exercise or run as she did before she received the vaccine and, as a result, she had gained weight. She continued to suffer chronic pain. The pt contends that her vaccination caused her to develop Small Fiber Neuropathy, as well as a constellation of adverse symptoms, complications, injuries, and other adverse events, many of which are alleged herein and all of which were caused by quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) or otherwise linked to her Gardasil-induced autoimmune disorder. The pt had suffered and continued to suffer severe and permanent physical injuries and associated symptomology and has suffered severe and permanent emotional injuries, including pain and suffering. The outcome of all the events was considered as not recovered.  The causality between quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) and all the aforementioned events was reported as related and were also considered as disability events.
