If you have Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, you’ve probably heard the rumors that many people suspect that they fell ill after getting a vaccination.
This is not an uncommon occurrence.
Now, a 15-year-old teenager…
Now, a 15-year-old, otherwise healthy girl named Kenzie has come down with a debilitating, fatigue type illness after being innoculated with the vaccine, Gardasil. The FDA says Gardasil, “‘is an important cervical cancer prevention tool that will potentially benefit the health of millions of women.”
Well, that may be true- or it may not- but either way right now today… it’s not helping Kenzie or her debilitating fatigue, nausea, seizures and flu symptoms. And unfortunately, she’s not alone in experiencing an adverse reaction to Gardasil.
My advice? Be careful. If you’re thinking about getting Gardasil or some other vaccine, consult your doctor and ask lots of questions. Read everything you can before making up your mind. Whether it’s for you or your teenager, this is one decision you’ll live with for a long, long time.
I know that it’s hard to believe that you could do something to cause a fatigue illness, but statistics are increasing everyday that it is quite possible.
Please send this post to your friends, any teenager or parent. This is important news.
Thanks and hope to see you back here tomorrow for the podcast,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

Wow, this is pretty amazing info. My oldest daughter is only eight, but this will be something that I will have to think about soon. I really hope that it is not a vaccine that is required for schools around here. I know some schools have required it for the kids. If it is, I’m not going to be a happy camper if she becomes ill.

Kimberley, I know what kind of worry giving this vaccine to a teen girl could create. As a mother, we feel responsible for their welfare. I encourage you to keep researching the issue. Before your daughter is of the age to “need” Gardasil, maybe there will be further developments. You can also get on the “vaccine” sites to see if and how other people are choosing to opt-out of giving vaccines to their children. It is being done around the country for other vaccines, even the young child immunizations. I intend to podcast about this issue today with a video link, too. Check it out and bless you, my dear. I send you courage of purpose and wish you the best of luck in your decision- Cinda

Our daughter has had serious side effects from this vaccine also. I want to point out that there is a website where you can sign a petition to request President Obama and Congress to investigate. Here is the link:

Colleen, thanks for your comment about the additional website. Many people will see it here, but to give it the most exposure, I’ll do a short blog post in a few days to list it again. I hope lots of people read about “Gardasil” and begin to understand the risks of getting the vaccine and, if they’re so inclined, sign the petition.
The Friday edition of the Health Matters Show goes online in 1 minute, so I don’t have time to include the website into it today. Please tell your interested friends about this and re-post anytime. I’d love to hear how you and your daughter are doing.
Many blessings, Cinda

I am in my 50’s now and I have FM, I am disabled. I had the sine flue shot here in Ontario Canada, and I have been telling the drs for years my symptons are like the severe reaction I got from the swine flue. I was 19, ill and not smart enough to go the emergency department and I will never forget that bad experience.

Sue, I kind-a know what you mean. Thanks for your comment. I was incredibly sick with different cases of flu once and they were horrible. When did you take the swine flu shot and did it make you worse? Just curious. Lots of people stay away from vaccines because they activate their already messed up immune systems that much more.
