Symptom narrative

Sometime after midnight on 05/14/24 having had the HPV vaccine that morning, patient wasn't feeling well and so was in bed with me (her mother) and father. In our bed just after turning off the lights, as she was falling asleep, she had a Grand Mal seizure lasting longer than 3 minutes. She foamed at the mouth, was shaking, convulsing, jerking uncontrollably, and gasping for breath, her eyes were rolled back in her head. We thought she was going to die. EMS was called. Once stable, the ambulance took her to Hospital. Two (2) days after the vaccine and related seizure on 05/15/24 she was diagnosed with Generalized Epilepsy by an abnormal EEG.

Lab data

Patient had had a normal EEG on 03/21/2024 (less than 2 months prior to the vaccine) and a normal CT scan on 05/04/24. The only vaccine she received that day was the HPV vaccine. The NORMAL EEG performed on 03/21/2024 was at the same doctor's office, on the same machine, in the same room and performed by the same technician, as the ABNORMAL EEG on 05/15/24 that diagnosed the epilepsy. Therefore, there is no doubt that this horrible vaccine not only caused my child's grand mal seizure, but also left her with a chronic lifeline disease, epilepsy.
