The very next day her left side from her neck/shoulder to her abdomen was very sore. It hurt to turn her head, lift her arm as well as laugh. It has lasted now for 3 days. Won't be getting the 2nd shot as we are afraid of other reactions. My daughter, 17, just had her first shot. The very next day her left side from her neck/shoulder to her abdomen was very sore.

The shot wasn't bad at all, no worse than any shot I have been given before. I've heard that the pain increases with each shot of the Gardasil series, but I'm sure they won't be that bad. Cervical cancer probably hurts more. Just yesterday I got my first Gardasil shot, and was terrified because of what I had heard.

She received her first injection in Jan 09 and 10 days later fainted for the first time. After 5 months of tests and seeing every specialist imaginable she received the official POTS diagnosis 2 weeks ago. We are lucky that we have found a beta blocker to help with her symptoms but her life is not the same. I hope your daughter has meds to help with the symptoms as well. Hope she has more good days than bad! My 18 year old daughter has also been diagnosed with POTS. She received her first injection in Jan 09 and 10 days later fainted for the first time.

Don't judge other parents for wanting healthy children. I'm 17 and I asked my mother for the shot because I want to be protected. And I don't think getting the shot lets girls think it's ok to start being sexually active. Most of us are old enough to understand that the shot it for protective measures and benefits us in the future. And anyways, if girls my age want to start becoming sexually active, it's not a shot that's going to start us...it's hormones. So don't bag on other parents. Maybe you're the one who shouldn't be a parent for not wanting to protect your daughter? I agree with Amber completely. Don’t judge other parents for wanting healthy children.

It was the best shot I have ever had. Not painful as all. A slight pain afterwards in my arm which last 5 minutes, but just felt as bad as someone brushing a bruise. Im feeling really good, nothing strange at all. I will add that I am 23 years old, not that it shouldnt have anything to do with it... but I can tell you I have no hesitations about the third shot.

I never felt that way it was hell. I was throwing up yellow fluid, I never had a reaction like this to a shot ever. They need to band this shot and not give it ever again. THEY ARE JUST SELLING IT TO GET MONEY AND MAKE US ALL SICK. It was like nausea I was gagging and nothing was coming out it was TERRABLE! My mom is still saying that I have to get the second one and wont believe me that there is all these bad reviews on it! and im 13 years old.

Before that she was a healthy normal, active, young woman. Now she is suffering chronic headaches, nausea, is having difficulty participating in her usual sports at school... we have had her tested for everything from pregnancy to drug use, depression etc. They all tell her she is a normal healthy teen. I want answers! MOST OF ALL I want my normal healthy beautiful daughter back. My daughter had a second shot in Feb.09. Before that she was a healthy normal, active, young woman.

And 4 hours later icing my arm because it hurts. First 5 minutes after the shot hurts the most. In fact, this is probably the second most painful shot I have ever gotten (first was theophilin shot into the butt I got as an 8 year old that disabled my leg for the next two hours). 1h before the shot I took 2 Exedrin tablets, then right before the shot I asked the nurse for an ice pack. After the shot I sat for 10 min in the waiting room icing my arm after that pain subsided enough for me to drive. Next time I go in (yes, I'm finishing my series because I have two of my parents' friend go through cervical cancer) I will ice my arm for 20min PRIOR to the shot. And I will clench my teeth and endure it. After all it's better than getting cancer. Pain for 3 days total is better than cervical cancer. If you are younger than 24, or/and haven't had multiple sexual partners, get vaccinated; otherwise make sure to vaccinate your daughters. They will than you for making them do it in years to come. And take them out for ice cream or something to make them feel better afterward. I just received my 2nd Gardasil shot. And 4 hours later icing my arm because it hurts.

My first shot I did not experience anything...well, not realizing i was losing my hair. After the second shot, I woke up the next morning unable to see clearly. And I have 20/20 vision! I went to work and half of my sight was white. I got so nervous I had my boss drive me home. My mother called my OBGYN and all they could say its a coincidence. I have never had any health issues. I have never had anything wrong with me. After that I became sick for about 5-6 months. With stomach issues, and where I part my hair was extremely wide and thinning. After 2 years my hairs have somewhat grown back, but not the same. I still cry myself to sleep at times regretting that I trusted my Dr. This is just absolutley terrible. Our government is sh*t, and what our country does to us with all these drugs is evil. Merck, you should be sued for every last dime you have for the suffering of these poor woman and children who have to experience this! How do you people sleep at night?!!!
