HPV Vaccine: Will my Life Ever be Normal Again?
Cervarix changed my life: now I would never be able to manage the sort of day I took in my stride as a thirteen year old. I can’t even remember what a day with energy feels like. Before receiving the HPV vaccine at 14, I was an active, mostly healthy child. I am now nineteen years old and despite finally being on various medication to help manage my symptoms. I have gone from enjoying exercise and loving long walks on the moors to sometimes fainting after a short flight of stairs, being reliant on taxis, and having to spend much of my time in bed. I have gone from being a normal teenager to a disabled one, and it seems to have all been triggered by the vaccine.
