My doctor gave me the third injection a month before it was due. I wonder if that means anything. After my first two doses it was found that i tested positive for nuclear antibodies, or ANA with 1:160. I read other places that this vaccine can cause autoimmune problems. I'm going to the rheumatologist to get a diagnosis. I will never know thou, if Gardasil had anything to do.

I got my first shot yesterday and was honestly really scared from the reviews I read on here but it was actually not bad at all. Doesn't hurt anymore than an tetanus shot. I woke up with a minor headache this morning but that was it. Get the shot if your doctor suggests it would benefit you.

My daughter has received 2 of the three shots. Since her second shot, 3 months ago, she has not had a period. She's gained 10+ pounds, has cramping, back pain and nausea. She is not getting the last shot. Her dr says a missed period would not be caused by this shot. Clearly, his is wrong!

I'm 21 years old, I got the three shots,two and a half years ago. After the third one I started becoming dizzy all the time and eventually began fainting every single day for over a month.
