It is amazing how much people can change from day to day. I won't get into a whole vaccine debate here but I now believe some vaccines are not worth the risk. We still will vax our kids but none will get the gardasil vaccine. The experts are wrong with this one and it really does more harm than good. I no longer trust mainstream doctors to do what's best for my family. They are limited as to what they can do and what they know. When they can't figure something out it must be psychological in nature, conversion disorder, in this instance, is a joke. It's bringing women back to the 1800's with hysteria diagnoses, I'm sorry but there is some physical reason as to why these girls have muscle twitches, seizure like symptoms, paralysis etc. If only doctors would keep looking until they find out the reason rather than giving up all together. 

We saw the naturopathic doctor Friday and she completely believes me. She talked with other doctors who have seen this type of reaction in gardasil victims and got their advice as to what will help as well.  We are trying a complete detox to get this out of her system and I hope it works. 

All the people who might think we are crazy, over exaggerating, she's faking it, or whatever  I get it. I read some vaccine stories and thought the same until I actually became one of the stories. We were a normal family, just like you until this happened to us. The facts are it did happen, it was the vaccine and if it was your son or daughter you would be doing whatever it takes to help them as well. I pray no one else has to go through what we are going through because I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. There is something seriously wrong with that gardasil vaccine and I hope the medical community figures it out and pulls it from the market before another child gets hurt.

Krista did awesome at school today! Didn't visit the nurse once and shook very little! All the seizure like symptoms came back this afternoon though. We did have a pretty stressful afternoon, our car got stuck in the mud for two hours, we had to rush to my other daughters kindergarten round up and by the end of all that we were starving so we went out to eat. We did too much for her and she's had quite a few episodes tonight. I kind of got my hopes up that this was ending, guess it's not. I still think the fish oil chews are helping a lot, it helped her get through her day today. We see he naturopathic doctor tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I think she's the only one who might actually believe me. I don't have high hopes for the neurologist but we will see. 

Things were way too crazy today and there were other stressors on top of it all that I won't get into here but needless to say, I pray things calm down soon. I'm not sure how much more crazy I can take! Bring on the weekend, I need sleep! 

Thursday

Krista didn't have any shaking or seizures that I could see this morning. She's still at school and I haven't heard from her yet. I hope this is all ending and she will be back to her normal self. Just going to post some research info for my own recordes here, there are a ton of reports of seizures ( and conversion disorder) after receiving the gardasil vaccine out there. 

Posting a few links and stories and I'll be adding to the list when I have more time:

2. “Hi. My 17 year old daughter’s story is similar. She had her second Gardasil vaccination during the end of January 2008. During the month of February and March, she had abdominal problems. Beginning on March 30th, she had seizures. She had a CT of the head, MRI of the brain, EEG, 24 hour EEG and as I type this note, she are in the epilepsy center at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia and the doctor just came in to tell me that every test is coming back normal and that my daughter is having “stress” seizures. My daughter has no more stress than any other 17 year old girl does.
I related to the doctor my thoughts pertaining to Gardasil and I feel as though he has dismissed my idea.
I have found some many stories similar to yours and my daughter’s but I believe because Gardasil is so new, nothing is coming out yet about it.
If anyone has any other information, please advise!! We are desperate here in Philadelphia.

I'm so relieved that I found this website. My 23-year old daughter (who was 22 at the time of her 3rd injection) had a grand mal seizure while driving to work at 9:00 a.m on 28 November 2007, exactly 7 days following her 3rd vaccination. She has had no history of seizure nor has anyone in our family on either her paternal or maternal sides. Luckily prior to the seizure her vision began changing so she slowed down and began to pull over to the side of the roadway. She was traveling in a suburban area so her speed was in the 25 to 30 mph range. She doesn't remember anything after she began to pull over. She wasn't wearing a seat belt and she slumped down in her seat and evidently her body weight hit the accelerator. Because she was pulling over at the time of the onset of her seizure her SUV hit a telephone pole but would have ran into the side of a house if the pole wouldn't have been in her line of travel. Her SUV then bounced off the pole and entered a 4 way intersection (thank God another driver with the right-of-way noticed and stopped) and then her car ran into an autobody shop hitting a repaired sedan and running up the side of a boat before stopping. A County Sheriff who was radaring noticed her SUV coming through the intersection without a driver and he was there immediately upon the final impact. She completely lost her bowels and was foaming at the mouth when the sheriff arrived. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital where a battery of tests was administered following a seizure and nothing was found outside of the range of normal. Luckily she only sustained some bruising from the impacts but her car was a total loss. She was referred to a neurologist who has put her on anti-seizure medication. Since the initial seizure she has had 5 more seizures and 2 additional ambulance rides. Her last seizure was in May 2008, and at that time the neurologist changed her medication. To date she has not had anymore seizures, but continues to be take medication daily with some side effects, e.g., trembling, hair loss, and the potential side effect of horrific birth defects if becoming pregnant. She has had an EEG, MRI, blood tests, etc., and no cause has been identified. She also has a low BMI which I noticed seems to be a link that has been identified in earlier posts. I would advise any parent or girl over 18 to think very seriously before even considering getting this immunization. The risks far outweigh the benefits. My daughter has been lucky - she could have very well ended her life or some elses during her first seizure. She is once again on driving restriction, per the laws in our State which mandate 90-days in which the driver's license must be surrendered, and the driver must remain seizure free before the license will be reinstated. This drug is NOT safe!!! With all of these occurences someone (Merck / FDA) MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

My 12 year old daughter had a seizure Jan 2008 after receing her 3 Gardisil shots and another one this week almost exactly 6 months later. We have no history of seizures in the family and the neurologist cannot find any reason why they are occurring. I am thankful to hear the other similar stories. Where do we go from here? Is some type of litigation forming

As I wrote prior, my 12 year old daughter has had 2 of the 3 HPV shots. She has experienced 3 seizures within a 3 month period. The Neurologist just told us both her EEG and MRI are clean..nothing wrong. We started her on anti-seisure meds about 10 days ago, very low dose. She started experiencing "weird" feelings in her feet, and now has started happening coming up her leg. She gets dizzy/lightheaded and nautious. Basically the Neurologist up'd the meds and now she is a limp noodle that can't hardly get out of bed, can't eat and has to be forced to drink. As a parent, I don't know what to do next. The doctors aren't listening to us about the vaccines, and this Neurologist acts like this is just something my daughter needs to deal with in life, and "see you in 4 months..keep taking the meds". I am so extremely frustrated and worried about my daughter. Has anyone else experienced this with the anti-seisure meds...and what are your Neurologists saying?

She hasn't has an seizure like symptoms tonight. Maybe this is getting a bit better? I pray it is. 

Looked up conversion disorder/ Gardasil and found a lot of other girls were diagnosed with conversion disorder after receiving the vaccine as well. The link below is just one of several that I've found:

 http://patientsville.com/vaccines/hpv4/conversion-disorder-hpv-gardasil-2008.htm

I still don't think conversion disorder is what she has because she hasnt been sexually or physically abused or had any MAJOR stressors right before she got the Gardasil vaccine. She doesn't have any PTSD. I'll take her to the psychologist and physical therapy like the doctors suggest but I know they are wrong. 

I'd be willing to bet that this has something to do with these two things: 

1. Autoimmunity
2. Metal-Induced Immune System Hypersensitivity

The vaccine made her immune system go crazy and hopefully this is all tempory and her body will figure it all out in time. Im REALLY hoping the  naturopathic doctor will believe me. I'm doubting the neurologist will but we'll see. I just want this all to end and Krista to go back to the way she was before the vaccine.   

EEG results were normal. Her pediatrician is trying to tell me it's psychological, it's not. I know its not. There is something wrong with her nervous system. If the neurologist doesn't believe me I don't know what I will do. I had to pick her up from school today bc she wouldn't stop shaking and her face kept seizing. This all started hours after the damn gardasil vaccine. The vaccine did something to her and no doctor will believe me. It's very hard not to completely break down and lose hope right now. There has to be someone who will help us figure out what is causing her seizures and help us control them.

 No new symptoms yet today, that's the only good thing. 

I hate this. 

Tuesday

Krista had a really good day. She went to all her classes (except PE) and made it through the whole school day! She only had to go to the nurses office once. She had the face seizures and arm shakes most of the day but no full body ones until tonight. She's had two full body ones so far tonight with the paralysis. She's really tired so I bet there will be more but overall this has been a great day. Only one new symptom this morning and that was a hip shake thing. It just happened once so far. 

I'm very proud of her for being so brave at school and making it the whole day! She's super strong! 

Hopefully things are settling down a bit and her body will start to heal. I still haven't found a new pediatrician or gotten the results from the EEG yet. I'll call the old pediatrician tommrow. I'm sure the are sick of hearing from me, especially after our last conversation but I don't care. I'll keep bother them until I find a new pediatrician or get some answers. 

Monday

New symptoms already and we had a rough night. I dropped Krista off at school and called the pediatrician to let her know about everything going on and to ask if Krista should go back in. I was basically told there was nothing they could do except have her start physical therapy! She doesn't need physical therapy!!! The nurse said the neurologist could help us and they couldn't do anything! WTF??? We cant see the neurologist until feb 11th!!!  So if these seizures are giving her brain damage I just have to watch it happen until Feb 11th???? The nurse then tells me that a lot children have seizures all the time and to trust the doctor. OMFG! Trust them?? They said the Gardasil vaccine had NO side effects and it's ruined my daughters life! I'm not going to ever trust them! Off to find a new pediatrician because this is unbelievable.
