Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My daughter's health deteriorated after the first dose of this vaccine, that was back in 2010. My previously very healthy girl has suffered continuously ever since with severe and chronic pain, fatigue, dizziness, weakness, food intolerances, nausea, hair loss, light and noise sensitivity, bleeds and bruises very easily, developed a large and painful ovarian cyst, daily headaches, short-term memory loss amongst many more distressing symptoms. She has lost out on her entire secondary school education and is unable to lead a normal life in any way."

Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My first shot was in junior high. I was on the cheer team and very athletic. A few weeks after the first shot, I was always dizzy, bright lights made my eyes tear up for no reason. I had horrible headaches that I still have today. I was and still am always tired for no reason. I have autoimmune problems (lupus SLE has been suggested). I have horrible GI problems, which I pay out of pocket for every three months to see my GI. I have bleeding ulcers that have been treated and tested but don't go away. I constantly have diarrhea and severe upset stomach. I have mild tremors that have been related to my headaches. My youngest son was born with stomach problems now (hasn't been proven to be related to Gardasil). I'm 24 with all these problems."

Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "I received two doses of Gardasil, and it was all fine. But the third one gave me dizziness and an infection in the vagina and in the mouth that does not go away. Also, I feel that I am fainting all the time. I feel horrible. Not to mention all the GI problems. It has been horrible. I really hope that my health gets better after all this pain. I received the third shot two weeks ago."

Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "I'm 18 years old and just got my first one today along with two other shots, which were required for school. Hurt like hell compared to the other two. Maybe less than a minute after, I started to feel dizzy, nauseous, vision blurred, had difficulty breathing, threw up... Nearly fainted, had to be brought to a bed via wheelchair. Probably the worst I have ever felt. Hours later, can barely move my arm without feeling pain, even though the other arm (which got two shots) feels fine. I'm not going to say no one should get this - fainting is obviously better than cancer. I personally would not do it again, especially considering I do not plan to have sex later in life."

Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "My daughter got 2 of the 3. She now has Hashimoto's. Not saying it was the shots. I am saying she was perfectly healthy before the shots as far as a preteen can be. She is the kindest, most caring child I know. She did get a headache, felt dizzy, and slept after receiving the first shot. She did not tell me, and no one informed me until later of this. She never had a weight problem either until after the second shot. She still has not started her period. Yet she has grown breasts and is 5'5" tall and still growing. In the last 9 months, she has grown 5 inches! Really?! Who does that?! She refuses to take medicine, and I agree with her decision, even if she is only 13 years old. I believe her body will heal on its own. With proper care."

Human papillomavirus vaccine for Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "After my experience with Gardasil, the only thing I hate the most is it stings a lot (compared to other vaccines) for 2 minutes, then, boom, it's just like I got a flu vaccine and everything is normal, no dizziness, fatigue, or anything. I even hung out with my friends the night after the vaccine injection, I woke up like nothing happened. I don't know if what I saw on the web is true about Gardasil being bad, but based on my experience, it's all fine."

For Human Papillomavirus Prophylaxis "Horrible! Ever since I got this vaccine, I've been feeling so bad. My heart speeds up, I feel dizzy, and I have headaches. Horrible! I never had this before! I have stomach issues. I feel like I’m about to faint. This only happened when I got this vaccine. I've always been a very healthy person, rarely going to the doctors, so imagine me now, always going to the hospital. Doctors say I just have anxiety. I don't know what to do."
