She needed to have a transfusion of platelets and put on steroids. She was diagnosis of ITP. So far she only had one episode of low platelets. Has anyone continued to have problems with their platelets?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051750842697041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-23164505921130764042009-04-02T16:53:00.000-07:002009-04-02T16:53:00.000-07:00I had the Gardasil injection back on January 9th 0...I had the Gardasil injection back on January 9th 09, a month later i have server menstral bleeding lasting 24 days and i was then diagnosed with ITP with a platelett count of 5!!!. All tests where performed and has left my doctors and specialist scratching their heads as to how this has happened. I WILL NOT be getting the 2nd shot of Gardasil due to this and i find it is not worth the heart ach that it has caused me for anyone else to be silly and have this injection. Women where fine beforhand with regular pap tests... and how to the health board know this is a sure way of preventing cervical cancer? they pumped it into the system so quick they didnt allow time to safely check it, now its causing all sorts of problems with people from fainting to rashes to bloody ITP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-55352079509718727792009-03-21T09:20:00.000-07:002009-03-21T09:20:00.000-07:00As a health care provider who works with an intern...As a health care provider who works with an international committee I know that the providers who come from 2nd and 3rd world countries would give their left arm to be able to give this to women as an option to death --as cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in the world affecting many women who have no access to Pap results or even follow-up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-18308301425288917832009-02-14T07:56:00.000-08:002009-02-14T07:56:00.000-08:00My now 19 year old daughter has just been diagnose...My now 19 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with ITP (low platelets). I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what happened. The only thing I can figure is that when she was 17 she rec'd her 3 Gardasil shots over 6 months. A year and a half later in December of 08 her platelet count reached a dangerous low of 26 and she had to start Prednisone treatment. This could be a lifelong problem for her and if I had known there was any such side effect I wouldn't have had her vaccinated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-91719634724370196032008-11-06T07:36:00.000-08:002008-11-06T07:36:00.000-08:00My 19 year old received 2 shots..and let me tell y...My 19 year old received 2 shots..and let me tell you she suffered for 5 months. She was in and out of the hospital (3 times) and each time they never gave a diagnosis..just a "typical college student-over stressed and over worked". She was fainting, weak, dizzy, nauseaus etc. Now, mind you, she is an athlete-Captain of her college Lacrosse team and not a "sickly" child. Thankfully, she is ok now, but for those "5 months" we were very scared. DON'T do it!!

It is not an issue of public health, but of individual health that should be a choice of the parents and the child. In fact, the claim that it protects against cervical cancers is a stretch. It is only supposed to protect against 2 types of HPV. No one knows yet the actual effects. I have an infant daughter that I do not want the state to tell me that I have to get vaccinated with this vaccine. Don't worry about my son. Apparently he does not have to worry about mandates for vaccines that protect against sexually transmitted diseases. If Virginia is going to have an opt-out clause, why not just do away with the mandate. Let the drug dealers, I mean drug manufacturers market the drug like normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-76997710416230274462008-07-14T19:52:00.000-07:002008-07-14T19:52:00.000-07:00mom of 4 and pediatric nurse..I give soooo many va...mom of 4 and pediatric nurse..I give soooo many vaccines on a daily basis, however the gardasil vaccine will NOT be given to my girls until we see how the children of those girls vaccinated turn out. I am fearful that this vaccine will affect our grandchildren. as far as other vaccines go...I believe in vaccinating our children against contagious diseases that can cause death and serious harm. (Until we have another system vaccines are our best protection) Cervical cancer however can not be spread by sitting next to someone in school?? I just do not get the thinking here it is soooo obvious this is money driven!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-26645208553154671612008-03-14T12:19:00.000-07:002008-03-14T12:19:00.000-07:00Thank you for increasing awareness of this.I'm 27 ...Thank you for increasing awareness of this.<BR/><BR/>I'm 27 and a few months ago had to get a Tetanus shot to be allowed to reapply to my university, I notice a strange pain on the left arm (inoculation area) after strength training sessions, and the site of injection was actually very sore for a prolonged period of time. I advise anyone I know against getting Tetanus shots, from cases I've read about, a seemingly routine injection can turn into a very serious health problem.<BR/><BR/>As to Gardasil, the health risks clearly outweigh the benefits (if any) of getting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
