Embarrassing, Awkward and Health: Side effects

Side effects

Today, I went to get an HPV vaccine after being convinced to by my mom. I stayed in the waiting room afterwards, because the vaccine has the possible side-effect of causing fainting. I didn't faint; instead, I spent the next 15 minutes giggling uncontrollably like a psycho. FML

Today, my needle-phobic mother took me to get a shot. She fainted. FML

Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML

Today, I went into an exam room to do a check-up on one of my patients. I told the little girl's mother that she needed her flu shots. When the girl heard this, she took an apple out of her pocket and threw it at me. FML

Today, I had to get bloodwork done. I'm deathly afraid of needles. The whole lobby heard me scream as soon as the nurse said 'hello'. FML

Today, I went to get the vaccination my college requires of all students. The nurse looked at my charts and told me there was good and bad news. The good news was that I didn't need the shot. The bad news was I needed four others. Now, both of my arms are swollen enough to make Popeye proud. FML

Today, while trying to give an immunization to a "special" 13-year-old, I got spit on, kicked, almost bitten, and had a chair thrown at me. When it was all over, I flinched when the patient tried to hug me. Her mom called me a "b*tch" and I later found out she wasn't a "special" child. FML

Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML

Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML

When I got my HPV vaccine, I had no side effects. In fact, I wasn't even warned about possible side effects. But i would prefer giggling rather than fainting!

Bravo! One down, two to go. So you get a total of 45 minutes of giggles AND avoid certain cancers. Win-win.

Gardasil is a relatively new drug and it didn't have a very long testing phase and isn't as widespread as one might think (only 1/4 females begin the regimen at all in the US, and not all of those finish), so we don't actually know what all the adverse reactions might be or how common they are. There has been anecdotal evidence that it has severely messed up some people who have taken it, so I'd recommend everyone do their own research and decide if they want to go in for it or not rather than succumbing to societal pressures (nurses and parents and the like). I had the whole regimen and personally developed uterine and cervical problems (cysts and blood clots among other stuff, generally not fun) about a week after each consecutive injection, but we haven't been able to determine whether the two are related or not.

I possibly have an autoimmune disease from getting this vaccine. I'm still going through testing. I got the vaccines when it was fairly new so my mom didn't know there were these horrible side effects. And to OP, I suggest you do some research on this before you get the finally shots.
