Gardasil vaccine warning

My daughter received her last Gardasil vaccine, when she was 17 years old, on October 23, 2007. A month later, December 4, 2007 she had a seizure which resulted in waking up in an ambulance. She continues to have seizures even though she takes anti- seizure medication three times a day. She has memory loss and has dropped from being a straight A student to having a GPA of 1.75. The University of North Texas is threatening to kick her out of school because of her recent low grades. She had another seizure last week. We have been to three neurologists. Yesterday, she had a second MRI and is scheduled for an EEG next week. She is not the only one having these symptoms. Eight young girls have died from the Gardasil injection in the past year. Governor Rick Perry was trying to pass a Texas law requiring young school girls to get this vaccine. Fortunately it did not pass. This serious of three shots cost $900 ($300 each). The MRIs are not cheap and it has been a task trying to get her case reported to the FDA to count as a "statistic" because the vaccine adverse reaction reporting form required the manufacturer# and lot # from the bottle she was injected with. Only the nurse or doctor might have this type of information if they wrote it down in the chart and if the patient is able to returnt to the same doctor who administered the injection. My daughter had graduated from high school a year early in an accelerated program. She had previously been in a gifted and talented program. Now, I fear for her future. She was away from home living in the college dorms when the first seizure occurred. I feel helpless as a mother, but hope this blog will reach someone and save "one more" from going through the same problems so many others have experienced. Please help stop administering this vaccine until further testing has been done. If there are others out there who have had adverse reactions or suddenly started having seizures and haven't made the connection yet, please report your case to the FDA as soon as possible.
