Taylor from Indiana:  Taylor started having seizures only three weeks after her first injection of Gardasil®.  The package insert clearly states anyone with a severe allergic reaction to a dose of Gardasil should discontinue the series. One would think seizures in a person who had never had them before would be an indication of a severe allergic reaction. Nevertheless, her physician continued to administer the entire series.

Here is story in her own words:

“At the end of August of ’07, I got the Gardasil vaccination. You know, the one for the prevention of cervical cancer where the commercial always ended in ‘one less’? Too bad I ended up being one more.

“At the end of August of ’07, I got the Gardasil vaccination. You know, the one for the prevention of cervical cancer where the commercial always ended in ‘one less’? Too bad I ended up being one more. Around three weeks after I got the first vaccine I had my first seizure. It basically went downhill from there.

The doctors told us that there was no possible way that this vaccination was causing my problems; so naturally, we believed them, and I got the last two shots. Ironically, things got progressively worse. And now, over three and a half years later, I am still dealing with my problems.

I was thirteen years old when it first happened. I can still remember how terrified I was. I had just gotten done with a cross-country race; even got one of my best times of the season. All of a sudden I got really dizzy and shaky. I blacked out for a couple seconds and then went inside to sit on a bench. All of a sudden I began to shake uncontrollably.

I can remember every detail of what happened – even though it was over two and a half years ago. A lady came up to me and put her arms around me, comforting me and talking me through it. I didn’t even know her, yet she still had the kindness to come over and help me.

You can’t even begin to imagine how scared that I was. But, when I told my parents after the meet, they just kind of shook it off. I completely understood that, I thought at that time it was just because I had run so hard. This was on September 8th of 2007.

About two years after my seizures started, one of my friends named Caleigh also began to have seizures. Caleigh is in my youth group and had just gotten her first vaccination. Her seizures were so violent that she actually bruised up her wrist until it was swollen.

All the pieces started to fall into place. We both had seizures a couple weeks after we got the shot. We both were experiencing the exact  same thing. But most ironically, (I mentioned this before) we were also in the same youth group. Imagine the odds of that happening – it’s like one in a million. So my mom, along with Caleigh’s mom, began to do some extensive research. Sure enough, everything they found backed up our story.

I’m on this roller-coaster of emotions. Go a week without a problem; then the next week I have ten seizures. Get my best hit of the season during a softball game, next thing I’m in the outfield having a seizure and spraining my knee – the end of my softball season(s) for the next two years.

This year I had to deal with everyone talking about tryouts and getting excited for the next game. And I knew that I couldn’t be there. I couldn’t even be manager. Sure, I can go to the games, but it’s definitely not the same as being part of the team. Giving up the things I love is probably worse than even the physical pain I go through.”

Taylor has had a long and painful journey. Her seizures are unpredictable. Sometimes she will go months without having a seizure then, they come back with a vengeance. She can no longer participate in many of the activities she loved.

Three and a half years after Gardasil, she still has excruciating migraines. She has new allergies to gluten, dairy, casein, sugar, soy, artificial flavoring, processed foods, and on, and on…. She was a straight A student before Gardasil. That is not the case now.

Taylor feels Gardasil has taken what should have been some of the best years of her life.

Taylor is not alone. There are 942 VAERS reports of seizures or convulsions after Gardasil vaccinations as of December 2010.

How can medical professionals justify mass administration of a vaccine that will not be proven to reduce cervical cancer rates for at least 20 years, to healthy young girls when using Pap smears and appropriate follow-up has safely and effectively reduced cervical cancer in the United States without causing seizures?

Medical consumers should not tolerate any risk when there is a safe and effective means of controlling a disease available. All vaccines carry some risks. Pap smears have never killed anyone.

Sara, Utah:   At 19 years old, Sara had everything going for her. She was attending Brigham Young University on a full academic scholarship, majoring in Social Work with a minor in women’s studies. In addition to being academically gifted, she had been a dancer for years. She was in excellent health, never smoked or drank alcohol, ate healthy food and exercised regularly. She was a virgin. In short, she was at very minimal risk for cervical cancer.

She received an HPV information sheet from her college outlining the potential risks of HPV infection and the benefits of Gardasil vaccination. The only potential side effects listed on the information sheet were pain at the injection site, redness, and perhaps fainting. When Sara went to her physician for her annual check-up, the doctor was adamant that she needed Gardasil, even though she had a very low potential risk of cervical cancer based on her history and lifestyle. Sara followed her doctor’s advice, even though there was no history of cervical cancer in her family. The first injection, though painful, was not followed by particular reaction.

In January of 2007, when she went in for the second injection, she had no idea what events would follow. Sara was administered the second dose of Gardasil at the same time she took her seasonal flu vaccine.

One week later, Sara woke up paralyzed by pain. She was unable to get out of her bed. Four hours later, her roommates discovered her and she was rushed to the hospital. That was only the beginning of what she has continued to go through.

Sara now has a severely compromised immune system. Her white blood cell count dropped to virtually nothing. In the words of her physicians, her immune system has been almost completely eradicated. She has severe chronic pain in addition to chronic fatigue. Sara is extremely sensitive to any type of medication, when she never had a problem before. There have been many instances where she has been completely bedridden, unable to do anything.

It took three months for her physicians to recognize she had experienced an adverse reaction to Gardasil. They immediately filed a report with VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System). They also tried for over a year to contact Merck with no success. All phone calls went unanswered.

The icing on the cake was as soon as vaccine injury was determined to be the cause of her problems, Intermountain Health Care (IHC) would take no responsibility or acknowledge that her symptoms were caused by an adverse reaction to a vaccine administered at one of their clinics. So much for the Hippocratic Oath.

Sara feels like she is living in someone else’s body. Every day she wakes up wondering whether she will ever be her normal self again.

In spite of all of her physical ailments after Gardasil, Sara graduated valedictorian of her class and is now enrolled in a Masters Program and working as a research assistant. Sara is one more girl who has refused to allow her reaction to Gardasil make her ‘one less.’

Brittney, Ohio:   Brittney has been suffering for almost three years; she wishes to dedicate her story to those who have been injured, or passed away, around the world after receiving HPV vaccinations.

Brittney was born a warm, caring people person. As a child, she would try to help other children, rushing to their aid when they cried, or passing out hugs when they were lonely. She was full of life, vibrant and entertaining from the day she could talk.

She loved school so much, she completed her junior and senior year of high school in a single year with an excellent grade point average to boot. She loved drama and music, actively participating in both. She was affectionately called the “hostess of the classroom,” because she was always baking or cooking for her friends and classmates.

When she got to college, she added physical activities to her list of things to do. She began lifting weights, running wind sprints and doing cardio workouts. By the time she was 21, she was hiking up to seven miles at a time, swimming regularly and keeping up with a multitude of social activities with her friends.

In June 2007, at 21 years of age, Brittney was told by her family doctor that she needed to take the Gardasil vaccine to protect her against picking up an HPV infection via accident at the college lab. The doctor assured her there were no complications with this vaccine, so she gave in for fear the doctor may be right.

For the next six weeks, Brittney began to have sporadic health problems. She experienced fainting, hammering leg pain that would come and go, and most frightening – seizures. She had never experienced seizures, nor was there any family history of seizures.

Despite these odd incidents, Brittney refused to slow down even a little. Pushing on, she remained quite active physically and mentally.

At least until August, when she got her second injection of Gardasil. Ten days later, her life changed forever. Pressure in her head and jaw started building, followed by excruciating leg pain, muscle weakness, rubbery sensations and burning prickles in her limbs and head. Finally, she lost the ability to walk.

She was taken to several specialists, an ER visit, and admitted to a well-known research hospital. All kinds of tests were run with no conclusion other than ruling out conversion disorder. Neither she, her parents, nor her doctors knew what was happening to her.

Luckily, a friend sent Brittney some information about other girls who had taken Gardasil and were suffering similar mysterious symptoms. Because of her nausea, blurred vision and dizziness, Brittney could not read, much less sit at a computer. So, her mother began to research the effects of this new vaccine. A couple of weeks later, mom had enough information about Gardasil to convince Brittney not to get the third injection.

Brittney was later informed by one of her physicians, that had she received the third injection she probably would not have survived.

Brittney has seen over 40 specialists in various fields. Some dismiss her symptoms as conversion disorder as soon as they hear Gardasil may be involved. Some medical facilities have hustled her out the door as soon as they hear an HPV vaccine could be to blame.

However, at least  five different physicians have diagnosed the following disorders: peripheral neurological disorder, abnormal pupillary function and dilation, peripheral neuropathy in both legs, decreased endocrine activity and function, idiopathic epilepsy, liver function suppression, GI tract disorders, chronic Guillain-Barre-like symptoms, and hormone problems. All five attributed her problems to the Gardasil injections she received. At least once, she was told with time and treatment all of the damage could be reversed.

Today, it’s almost three years later and Brittney is seeing some improvement. Many times, those improvements are marred by setbacks. She is for the moment, content to take life one day at a time. Both she and her family are hopeful that one day Britt will get an opportunity to live a long and ordinary life. Brittney has been suffering for almost three years; she wishes to dedicate her story to those who have been injured, or passed away, around the world after receiving HPV vaccinations.

Samantha (U.S.A.)

Our lives have been turned upside down after Gardasil.  My daughter had a 3.8 GPA without even trying and she has failed all her classes since having this vaccination. Prior to having the Gardasil shots my daughter had serious health problems and had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes; allergies to pollen, tree, smoke, grass, tobacco, fragrance and dust and dust mites.  She also suffers from Blounts disease and at the age of 12 was diagnosed as having Poly Cystic Ovary syndrome and was put on birth control pills to stop the excessive bleeding.  This is no longer a problem as my daughter has not had a menstrual cycle since receiving her first shot in November 2007 – early menopause perhaps.    My daughter’s health has been in serious decline since she received her Gardasil injections at the age of 14.  Within hours she was vomiting, feverish with a terrible headache.  She could not get out of bed for almost 3 weeks.  I called the doctor regarding her illness and she said she must have received a bad flu shot.  She was vaccinated with Gardasil at the same time as the flu vaccine.  She now passes out with any exertion; a simple walk will put her out.  She suffers from weakness in her both legs.  Soon after the second shot she was crying because her feet were hurting and she was diagnosed later with peripheral neuropathy – right foot on 4/09/08 and left foot on 5/22/08.

She could barely walk and was put in 2 com casts to keep her feet from hurting. Samantha also is experiencing more then 4 migraines a month now.  She did have continual migraines for almost 3 weeks before they started to taper off.    She faints and loses the ability to use her legs.  This has happened many times then it’s followed by a 3 day migraine.  I attribute these bizarre symptoms and her illness to the Gardasil vaccine.  This is a human experiment on our daughters and they have been injured.

Everyday when I wake up I am afraid that my daughter will be dead.  I don’t want any other mother to go through what the Gardasil mothers are going through.  She has been diagnosed with sleep apnea and has been put on a CPAP, diabetes2, degenerative disc disease and loss of peripheral vision in her left eye and peripheral neuropathy in both feet.  She is still not any better 2 years later.

Samantha’s symptoms after having the vaccinations are many from paralysis in arm which fortunately was temporary, to fainting once or twice weekly since third vaccination, with slurred speech and loss of feeling in her legs. Menstrual cycle changes, blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision in one eye and fatigue that is so bad she can hardly move.
To compound all of this, she has aching muscles and is in a lot of pain daily and has been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in both feet.  In addition, she has brain fog and from once being the brightest kid on the block, a walking encyclopaedia she has often been called, she has great difficulty in remembering things, in concentrating for any length of time and is not the young academic she once was before Gardasil. Something has damaged my daughter and her school records would confirm her scholastic skills before being vaccinated.

Samantha’s last ER visit was on August 25, 2009.  She had lower leg paralysis for more then 3 hours.  This has been an unrelenting symptom since her last vaccine.  I could not tell you how many times we have been to the ER.  It would make you sick.  I did take
her to her paediatrician, Dr. Kathleen Santi, Halifax Family Health, I wanted her to see the paralysis in her legs.  She refused to see her.  She told me to take her to the emergency room.   I could not believe that she would not even look at her.  Samantha has been her patient since 2003.  I was very offended by this.   Gardasil did this to my daughter and how many kids have to be injured or killed by this vaccine before some action is taken?

The Gardasil vaccine was not studied for administration with the flu vaccine.  However my daughter received both on the same
day. Samantha as you can see had a medical history of serious illnesses before being vaccinated and now her conditions have
increased and she is left with very little quality of life.

She was sick before now she is seriously sick following the vaccinations.  It could be said that the two vaccines together were too much for her system but other moms’ children have suffered severe illnesses, including seizures and only receiving Gardasil.  The point I am making, Samantha with her medical history should never have been vaccinated with Gardasil.
Perhaps you could take the time to find out if Merck ever carried out any trials with Gardasil on impaired immune responses.  I know that in the case of the sister vaccine, Cervarix, no such research was carried out by GlaxoSmithKline on this important area and young people are becoming ill in the UK as well.  Samantha had many medical complaints prior to vaccination, now she is an invalid, in great
pain and lives in fear, as do we all, that she will become paralysed.  This is as a result of her being vaccinated and there has been a certain amount of neglect in this case, as there has been in many of the other cases.  All we ask as moms, please someone listen and do something about this before any more young people are harmed by this terrible vaccine.

Amy Castelbery Pingle, Indiana:  When one thinks of vaccine injuries, they normally think of the person who received the vaccine. This is not the whole story. Vaccine injuries impact family, friends, and everyone around the person who actually got the shot. Consider this story of a single mother with four children, one of whom was completely disabled after receiving Gardasil. This mother watched her daughter change from the girl in the first photo, to the girl in the second and worse. Please take time to read the story in her own words.

I am a single mother of four children, 2 boys and 2 girls. We live in Lake Station, Indiana. Before my oldest daughter Zeda got sick, we had a
normal life. I worked a full-time job. 13 year old Zeda was a cheerleader and straight A student. She was also a big help to me with my other children.

I have always done my best to keep my kids healthy. I had them get their wellness check-ups and they always got whatever vaccines the doctor suggested. All my kids were completely healthy, other than the simple colds here and there. Completely healthy, that is, until it was time for Zeda’s well visit on November 5th, 2008. And then her life, as she knew it, completely changed along with the rest of our family. Zeda’s pediatrician suggested the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) or, as I know it now, the Gardasil vaccine. I thought “OK, this is what I am supposed to do to keep her healthy.” My doctor said to do it and so we did it. I knew absolutely nothing about the vaccine, other than it was for girls her age. I was not told of any side effects, other than the potential for soreness around the injection site.

A week after Zeda got the shot, she started to complain here and there, of a headache and of feeling sick to her stomach. Perhaps like some of your own daughters at her age, Zeda was a Drama Queen. So when she would tell me these things, I would tell her to lie down, murmur to her that she had probably had a long day, or I would give her some Tylenol. It never would have occurred to me that those little signs were red flags. Not until November 28th, 2008, when we were on our way to pick up her little sister from a friend’s house. While in the car, Zeda kept dropping her phone. Suddenly, my son said, “Mom, I think something is wrong with Zeda!” She was crying, she was drooling, and her eyes were not looking right. She looked to me as if she had just had a seizure. I knew this because my brother had seizures. I rushed her to the ER.

This is where the confusion started with her diagnosis. First, they accused Zeda of overdosing on drugs. They yelled at her, in her face, that she needed to tell them what she had taken. I was so scared. I had no clue what was going on, and these doctors and nurses screaming at my daughter. Zeda was as scared as I was. I believe she knew that something was seriously wrong. She was confused and not able to say what she wanted. And then she had another major seizure in the middle of the ER. That is when they finally started to take us seriously. By then, they had her drug test results which were negative for any illegal drugs.

After those horrible few hours, they transferred Zeda to our local hospital, along with a pediatric neurologist and Zeda’s pediatrician. I thought we would surely get some answers there.

They started running all kinds of tests. At this point, Zeda was unable to say a whole sentence; she could only say a few words at a time. She was so scared and was crying very hard. We had an MRI, a CAT scan, an EEG, and a spinal tap done. Whatever they were looking for, they did not find, all the tests were negative. The MRI did show a “shadow” on the right side of her brain, which they were now treating as viral encephalitis. But as Zeda’s health deteriorated, our pediatrician continued to say she was doing this to herself, that she was “faking” it. In the four days we were at our local hospital, Zeda had stopped talking, stopped eating, stopped walking, and was now urinating on herself. It was the nurses, NOT our doctor, who said something was truly wrong! Her symptoms were not taken seriously until a psychiatrist came in, tested her and issued a professional opinion that she wasn’t faking it. One nurse suggested we go to a specialty hospital, as we were getting nowhere.

We agreed. Within 45 minutes, we were flown to Riley Hospital for children in Indianapolis. There, they continued to accuse her of doing this to herself. They installed 24-hour video surveillance on Zeda for about two weeks to try to catch her in the act of faking it. And they continued to perform test after test, all of which came back negative. She developed had uncontrollable movements, extremely high heart rate (up to180 bpm), high fevers including one that was 108.7 degrees, and at one point she was placed in a medical induced coma. Yet they couldn’t tell us what was wrong or why it was happening, so they instead spent most of their time blaming us and trying to prove that she was faking it. No one would go on the record to say that the Gardasil vaccine did this to Zeda.

Zeda eventually lost lung functioning and was placed on a ventilator for several months. A tracheotomy and feeding tube were put in as she could no longer eat or breathe on her own. We were at Riley Hospital for four months and her doctors still could not tell us what happened to her, only that they are sure it was not a vaccine reaction. This despite dozens of cases of similar reactions in previously healthy girls following the HPV vaccine.

Today, Zeda still breathes through her trach and eats with a tube. She lives her life in a hospital bed in our living room, mostly non-responsive, with round the clock care and daily nursing visits. This has become the defining struggle of my life… I struggle every single day to do what I can to get her better. I am here to tell you that I didn’t know. And I think many parents are like me, and they don’t know either. I thought vaccines would keep my children safe and healthy. I didn’t know that vaccines could do this. No one ever told me. My doctor never told me the risks. I never saw anyone or anything that told me this could happen. I’m not telling you not to vaccinate. But I am telling you that people who pressure you to vaccinate don’t own the consequences. Only you, as parents, do. And if you do vaccinate, you better be really comfortable about the need for each vaccine. Because every time you vaccinate your child, there is a risk. It’s important that parents understand what’s at stake.

I deeply regret my decision to allow Zeda to get this shot. She has lost all quality of life. I would do anything to get her better, but no one has any answers for me. They still don’t believe it was the vaccine. And now that she’s sick, no one knows how to help my baby girl.

Chad and Danielle,
Florida: Vaccine-related injuries are reported to be rare. Some people compare the risk of vaccine-injury to the risk of being struck by lightening. Tell that to this family, after you read their story. Like most people, they never thought of the possibility when they consented to the latest ‘miracle’ vaccine.In December 2009, Danielle, at the age of 14, had her first Gardasil injection.

When the time came around for her second injection, her parents had decided that Gardasil might be a good idea for their son, too. Less than 3 weeks after that, their nightmare began.

This is their story, as written by their mother. No one could tell it better that she did:

On 22 December 2009, under the advice of my children’s pediatrician, I had my daughter, Danielle vaccinated with the Gardasil vaccine. The doctor gave me an information sheet showing what the side effects were: swelling at injection site, low grade fever, etc.  Nothing
noted was unusual or dangerous. I didn’t question the fact that the sheet was last updated in October 2007. To my knowledge, there were no serious adverse side effects.

On 26 February 2010, Danielle, now 15, had her second shot of Gardasil along with the Meningitis vaccine. At the same time, I had my son, Chad (age 17), vaccinated with his first Gardasil shot along with the Meningitis vaccine. I questioned the nurse about the safety of getting both shots at the same time, and she said it was totally safe. Again, I was given the CDC sheet that was dated 10/2007, and there were no bad side effects listed.

On the evening of 17 March 2010, after having dinner, Danielle stated she felt really tired and wanted to take a nap on the couch. Chad and his father were in a different room and started a game of chess (I was not present).

After about 20 minutes, her father went into the other room and found Danielle sound asleep on the wood floor. He tried waking her up, and noticed there was urine on the couch and the floor. Danielle acted confused and had no clue why she was on the floor. When she was helped up, it was noticed that she had extensive injuries to her face. All of the blood vessels in her face were broken. She had a large lump over her eye, and the whites of her eyes were blood red. She looked like she was put in the ring with Mike Tyson.

911 was called and she was rushed to the ER. I met up with her father, Chad and Danielle at the ER. They ran blood work, took a c-scan and ran other tests. All came back normal. They asked if she was on any new medications, had done any drugs, or drank alcohol. The only thing we stated was that she had been vaccinated with Gardasil. They dismissed that all together.  She was released several hours later, and they stated they believed she may have had a Grand Mal seizure. While at the hospital, Danielle kept saying that her legs were jittery.

Bright and early the next morning (8am), an agent from Child and Family services was at my door, along with a police officer. They stated that they needed to talk to and examine Danielle. I explained that she was sleeping, that she hardly got any sleep the night before, but they insisted on seeing her.

Danielle was in my bed, so I brought them into my room. They made me turn on the bright overhead light and wake her up. They talked to her and asked her what happened and she said she did not know.

They then made me leave the room. They closed the door and continued interrogating her.  I stayed out in the living room. The police officer came out stating he needed his camera, because there was no way these injuries could have happened from falling off a couch.

After they were finished with her, they came out and continued interrogating me, asking me how this could have happened. I had no clue. They kept inferring that Danielle’s father must have done this to her, and I assured them that would have never happened.

Later that day, I found out from Danielle that when I was out of the room, they told her that it’s obvious to them that if she was not doing drugs, this would have never happened to her.

An abuse case was opened on us. The next day, we had to take Danielle for a medical exam. They made her disrobe and checked everywhere on her body for signs of abuse.

A friend did some research on the internet, looking for unexplained seizures in teenage girls. She called me and asked if Danielle had
ever been vaccinated with Gardasil. This was when the connection was made.

After I did some research, I called the DCF agent and told her to research Gardasil. Within a month, the abuse case was closed.

Danielle saw a neurologist, who ran EEG’s on her. All came back normal. I explained about the problems girls were having with the Gardasil shot, but he refused to make a connection.

Danielle has woken up a few times with a bitten lip, but to our knowledge, she has had no more Grand Mal seizures (thank God). She has had numerous periods, however, of paralysis from the neck down. Her neurologist, however, stated this was ‘normal.’ He called it sleep paralysis. She never suffered from that in the past, so we don’t find it normal.

On the morning of 20 may 2010, while at work, my cell phone rang. I answered it and it was my children’s high school. They stated that
my son, Chad, had just suffered a Grand Mal seizure. They asked which hospital I wanted him sent to, and his father and I met up
with him there.

While in the ER, Chad explained how he was in class, when all of a sudden he had a strange feeling. He lost his hearing, and then started hearing voices and loud music. He remembered looking up at the ceiling and that was it.

According to witnesses, the seizure was quite violent and lasted approximately 2.5 minutes.

We explained to the ER doctor that our daughter had a seizure 85 days after receiving her first Gardasil shot and that this was 83 days
after Chad’s first Gardasil shot. The ER doctor basically told us we were crazy because Gardasil was just for girls. (The medical professionals don’t even know Gardasil is being given to boys? We constantly heard the same thing from numerous doctors.)

The ER called Danielle’s neurologist and we got in to see him the next day. They did an EEG, and Chad’s (like Danielle’s) was normal. The
neuro refused to make a connection to Gardasil and wanted to say it was ‘familial.’

02 June 2010, again while at work, the school called telling me Chad had yet another Grand Mal seizure. Again, we met him at the ER.
While there, Chad was explaining what he last remembered. Then, he looked up at me and said, “Mom, it’s going to happen again.”

Chad proceeded to have yet another Grand Mal seizure in the ER. The staff came in and shot him up with Ativan. When Chad came out of his seizure, he was totally out of it due to the medication.

Approximately ten minutes later, Chad had yet another Grand Mal seizure. Again, he was shot up with Ativan. He had an allergic reaction to the Ativan, and became extremely violent and irrational. It took 8-10 people to hold him down.

They tried Valium. Nothing would work. They finally had to have him transported to All Children’s Hospital. He was put in the ICU and spent several days there. He was hooked up to an EEG the whole time, but nothing was picked up. By this time, he was put on a heavy dose of anti-seizure meds.

The evening of 17 June 2010, I was sleeping in bed when I heard Chad start screaming for me. I ran out to find him sitting on the kitchen floor with a horrified look on his face.

I yelled, “Chad, what’s wrong? Is it going to happen again?

He couldn’t speak, but just shook his head up and down once, still looking horrified.

I had his sister call 911, and Chad proceeded to have another Grand Mal seizure.

The EMT got there several minutes later, and said that he should be taken to the hospital because of his high heart rate. He was taken
to All Children’s. He had been having auras the entire time while we were there. He was vomiting and had a horrible headache and  shoulder pain. Despite this, he was released.

We got home around 5 am; at 8 am, in his sleep, he had another Grand Mal seizure. He was finally admitted to the hospital. Again, he was hooked up the the EEG for several days. He had several auras while there, and finally, abnormal activity was picked up. Chad was
finally diagnosed with epilepsy.

Despite the heavy anti-seizure meds, the seizures and auras kept happening. The depression that came along with the seizures and meds was unbearable. After Chad had another Grand Mal on July 29, the doctor added another medication.

In addition to the seizures, major depression, and shoulder pain, Chad is experiencing severe stomach problems. We started seeing another doctor who has run numerous tests. It has been determined that he has no good bacteria in his stomach. He is vitamin deficient and is now having to take super pro-biotics, vitamin MB12 shots (that he has to give himself), vitamin K2, Vitamin D, Super multi-vitamin, fish oils, etc. He’s taking approximately 22 pills of some sort daily,

He has been on a special diet to see if the diarrhea will stop, but so far, it has not. We are hopeful that we will find a cure for him so
that he starts to feel better. He has no energy, and he has lost his ability to concentrate and focus. Chad’s GPA prior to this happening
was 4.7. Now, he’s saying that he can’t remember the simplest of things and he’s having a tough time in school.

I have been grateful that Danielle has been OK, but I’ve still been on edge with her. Just since this past weekend (23 Oct 2010), Danielle has been having recurring dizzy spells, which scare her. She has never had this before. Let’s just pray we’re not starting in with
something new with her.

Both of my children were beautiful, bright, and extremely healthy children prior to being vaccinated with Gardasil. While they are still beautiful and bright, there has been a major change in their health and happiness.

There is absolutely no history of seizures on either side of our family. The medical profession, however, refuses to look at any cause other than hereditary. They refuse to admit what has really happened to my children.
