Before/After Gardasil (supposedly):

http://tinyurl.com/dxsu4g

I'd rather have hpv, than take gardasil!!!

My daughter, Victoria, has been ill since February 2008. She had her first Gardasil vaccination in November 2007. Her second vaccination was in the beginning of February 2008. Immediately after her second vaccination, Victoria experienced severe diarrhea, vomiting and was nauseous for about eight weeks. She had blood work done many times and the pediatrician thought she had a virus. On March 31, 2008, she had her first seizure. My daughter has treated with many neurologists, all of whom have not related her seizures to Gardasil. Meanwhile, there are quite a few hundred people that I have found over the internet through my numerous postings and through Erin Brockovich, and their daughters are all experiencing the same symptoms, which occurred after the Gardasil vaccination. We have actually formed a group and share our daughters' stories, symptoms and information. My daughter has had CT scans, MRI's, MRA's, EEG's, blood work and was hospitalized at an epilepsy center in the video EEG monitoring unit for two separate weeks in May 2008 and September 2008. A follow-up MRI was performed and a spinal tap was recently attempted, but was unsuccessful. Victoria later underwent a lumbar puncture with fluoroscopy. She was put on many different seizure medications. After the normal EEG results, she was taken off all medications. Her SED rate has always been high and she does have protein in her urine, but doctors do not seem concerned. I was told that her red blood are small, but this apparently is not concerning either. She is also slightly anemic.
My daughter has been seen by several neurologists, a psychiatrist, psychologist, several neuropsychologists, an immunologist, several infectious disease doctors, and also treated a at Wellness Center for a period of time.
My daughter currently experiences the following symptoms: non-epileptic seizures, migraines, fainting, various tremors, twitches and numbness, intermittent leg paralysis and facial paralysis, tingling, staring or blank episodes, eye pain, joint pain, neck pain, back pain, memory loss, confusion, brain fog, regression, mood swings, hair loss and chronic fatigue. She continues to have bouts of nausea and diarrhea. She has not been in school since April 2008. My daughter can never be left home alone. She can't go to school, go out with her friends or work or has little "normalcy" in her life. She has very few good days and always says she doesn't feel good.

I do not know which way to turn for help. We have seen so many doctors and I can't seem to find anyone willing to help my daughter. There are so many other young girls who have the same exact symptoms as my daughter and the one thing that all of the girls seem to have in common is the Gardasil vaccination.
There are no "traditional medical doctors" who relate my daughter's symptoms to Gardasil as I am told "there is not enough information available" about the vaccine and doctors believe it to be "safe" . Most recently, a neurologist informed that he does believe that my daughter’s symptoms were brought on by the vaccine, just not in a way that he could test or prove.

There are some doctors who are making the correlation between Gardasil and many of the girls' symptoms. Other doctors are willing to "try" treatment, most of which is "homeopathic" in nature and extremely costly. Once again, I must reiterate that there are so many other young girls experiencing negative symptoms.
Each night, I check on my daughter many times in the middle of the night to make sure she is still breathing (like we ALL did when they were babies). I have increased security in my home in that I have a chime on her bedroom door so that each time she opens the door, I know she has walked out of her room. I had a deadbolt put on the front door of our home with a key that can be removed from the inside. I never leave the key in the door for fear that Victoria will be confused after a seizure or and leave our home. (This has happened several times and she has been missing). When she is in the shower, I have to either stand outside the door and/or keep asking her "are you okay?"

I often cry and wonder if Victoria will be next one to die from adverse reactions to Gardasil.

We are in desperate need of medical treatment for my daughter. I have run out of ideas, doctors to treat with and finances have dwindled. I do not know which direction to turn. Any thoughts are most appreciated, especially from the medical community.
Please feel free to forward this information.
Thank you for your time and attention.

P.S. Victoria is one of five girls mentioned on the NVIC website. Victoria’s story appeared on the front page of the Philadelphia Weekly Newspaper in June 2009 and also mentioned on the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer in August 2009. A Fox news story recently aired as well.

Hi Jodi,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughters situation. I know it is bad for the parents, but it breaks my heart for the children, and what they are going through.

Your daughter is displaying similar symptoms as children after they have had other vaccines (mostly the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and Rubella). She has now become super sensitive to reactions of food and chemical intolerance. This can (and is now) effecting her body physically and "mentally". This is denied and not understood by doctors - but they are unable to find the cause of your daughter's problems, let alone cure her.
But she can be cured, or brought back to nearly as she was if all goes well. You need to get her on an elimination diet to find out what she is intolerant to. You can find advice, help and support for this on www.fedup.com.au (I have no connection to this website).

Also for more information, websites, contacts, understanding of what is going on, and other's experiences and solutions, you can read;
Fighting for Tony - Mary Callahan
A child's journey out of autism - Leean Whiffen
Louder than Words - Jenny McCarthy
Mother Warriors - Jenny McCarthy

Don't be alarmed by the word "autism" it is still food and chemical intolerance (FCI). She may have also slipped back in her progess socially and academically because of the effects of FCI, but that can be rectified also.

It can be done - it HAS been done. Never give up! But you will have to do it without the help of the medical system, in most cases.

I hope this helps. Please fell free to email me if you need to.
I would be interested in any update that you may later have.

I wish you, your daughter and family well and success in your journey now.

Best regards,
Ken.

Hello Jodie:
The medical community are so insensitive sometimes, of course they are not going to blame the vaccine, and should it surprise us, of course not, in a way, unfortunately their hands are tied, they can not go against the dictatorship of Big-Pharma, because their licenses could be revoked, just as many good Drs with the best of intentions, they had to fight tooth and nail in order to conserve the privilege of serving humanity thinking of our interests and speak in our behalf, but most Drs do not want to bother, therefore they succumb to Big-Pharmas behalf, I feel sorry for these pillars of the community, how could they tolerate their conscious’s and have a restful sleep, knowing in most occasion that there are natural and better treatments and no side effects, yes, in some instances compound meds should be used I would say about 20% but natural is better, now they want to inject us with harmful stuff. I know there are miracles in this world. with all due respect for others beliefs I’ve prayed and hope you will find a team of Drs who will take the challenge and cure your daughter of her maladies, take care.
