I am looking for others who can share info regarding adverse side effects after the first injection of Gardasil. My daughter received her first injection about a month ago and is experiencing a variety of unexplained issues: muscle weakness in her legs, fever and a general unwell feeling.

Hi BB,
It seems that your daughters side effects are to be expected-- fortunately and unfortunately. This is what I got from their site: "Additional side effects reported include swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin), Guillain-Barré syndrome, headache, joint pain, aching muscles, unusual tiredness or weakness, and generally feeling unwell" Those side effects are less common than the vomiting, fever, headache, pain at site of injection, and dizziness usually expected.
For more information, visit their site: http://www.gardasil.com/what-is-gardasil/information-on-gardasil/index.html
