Patient received the 3rd dose of Gardasil on 11/16/2016 along with her flu shot for that year. She then returned to school and we had to pick her up because her lips started swelling (we have pictures from that day because of the severity of the swelling). We called the nurse line and asked about it and she told us that "if she was breathing ok then it should go away and she will be fine". Fast forward many years later and she is dealing with chronic autoimmune disorders. She lost almost all of her hair and was diagnosed with severe alopecia and now has to be on a lifelong Jak inhibitor for hair growth. We have spent countless hours at specialists' doctors' offices (rheumatologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist) and many hours battling health insurance companies for coverage. We've had to come out of pocket for more comprehensive blood panels to try and find answers. Since the shot in 2016, Patient has dealt with many symptoms such as POTS type symptoms, dysautonomia, severe alopecia (which led to mental trauma from losing almost all of her hair), sun sensitivity, and always high autoimmune panels. Patient will now have to be on a very expensive JAK Inhibitor for life to keep her hair. Patient had no preexisting conditions, and we believe that this 3rd round of Gardasil was the trigger for these autoimmune disorders and feel that this should be tracked for vaccine-related injuries. Signs and Symptoms that developed over the years after the 3rd dose of Gardasil: Severe swelling of lips, same day as Gardasil shot. Sun sensitivity Dizzy spells Racing heart rate Lupus type flareups with butterfly rashes Severe alopecia, which required wigs and now lifelong, very expensive medicine to grow hair Depression from hair loss Elevated ANA levels Gluten sensitivity Fatigued Brain Fog POTS symptoms Irregular periods Elevated thyroid antibodies indicating Hashimoto's
