Symptom narrative

Gardasil doses were administered on 7/10/2008, 09/12/2008, and 01/30/2009. Following the initial dose, severe abdominal pain began resulting in a visit to the Emergency room on 7/15/2008. I was admitted for observation overnight where lab work was drawn. I was discharged the morning of 7/16/2008 and my parents were contacted by the doctor that same evening that my doctor that we needed to return to the hospital due to elevated bilirubin levels and suspected inflamed gallbladder. I was readmitted to the hospital on 7/16/2008 for further testing as well as continued abdominal pain. Imaging was done that evening which showed my gallbladder was full of gallstones. I was scheduled for gallbalder removal on 7/17/2008. Following the removal of my gallbladder, I continued having extreme stomach pain and devloped bowel issues. Over the course of the next few months I recieved a Crohn's disease, IBS, and eventually colonic inertia. Up until 7/10/2008 I had no bowel issues, now pain or stomach problems or other autoimmune issues.
