Natasja
Prior to Natasja being vaccinated with Gardasil, she led a very active and healthy lifestyle. Now please see what has happened to her since the Gardasil vaccine was injected into her body.
My daughter Natasja had the three shots of Gardasil in May, August and December of 2011.
After her second shot she started having severe headaches, tunnel vision and short term loss of her peripheral vision. I went to the doctor as I was concerned. Natasja developed a sore throat after her third vaccination. She could not eat and was in a lot of pain throughout her body. My daughter was very ill for 14 days.
Natasja’s pains did not diminish throughout 2012 and the level of her pain increased. This continued and there did not appear to be any respite. As we continued into the early part of 2013 her health deteriorated. The pain was constant and she had sensory disturbances on the right side of her face and down her right arm along with blurred vision and severe headaches. Natasja was hospitalized and after a lumbar puncture was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and Borrelia, otherwise known as Lyme disease.
That was the very first diagnosis we had received. The situation did not improve throughout 2013. Things just became more frustrating as her symptoms seemed to increase all the time. Her headaches became more painful, she was nauseous, vomiting a lot of the time, having heart palpitations and finding it very difficult to concentrate. There was hardly a part of Natasja’s body that was not painful.
We were of course attending the doctor or being admitted again into hospital. She was also starting to get some physiotherapy. Her second diagnosis in March of 2013 was severe pain and benign intracranial increased pressure.
Joint Swelling
The year did not get any better. Natasja’s pains became more severe. Her knee joints would swell up (see picture) and at times she could hardly manage to get upstairs. Her stomach cramps increased and she was having serious diarrhoea. During this time we were consulting a Rheumatologist and also a hormone specialist who was concerned about Natasja’s size and height.
In August 2013, Natasja was hospitalized again as she was still having serious headaches and continued to be nauseous. This time she was diagnosed with Cephalalgia which is described as a pain in her head caused by dilation of cerebral arteries or muscle contractions or a reaction to drugs.
The headaches and feeling sick continued and was truly disrupting her life. She was still losing feeling in her left leg but as always the doctor had no idea why this was happening. This doctor wanted to try and keep a watchful eye on how she was progressing and I did mention to him about the HPV vaccine. Natasja was put on to another drug, amitriptyline 10 mg which was to be increased until she was on seven tablets a day.
She was still going to school, or trying to, but it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to do so. The school was very good in that they provided a bed for her to have a rest if she needed to. Eventually they allowed our daughter to go for a few hours per day and to attend in classes that would not be too difficult for her.
Then in October 2013, Natasja had to be admitted again to Frederiksberg Hospital and this time she was diagnosed as having POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). This condition is an abnormality of the functioning of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. Some of the medications she is on do not appear to be helping and they will be reviewing these and making changes as and when they think it is right to do so.
Natasja has lost of a lot of weight and her body is bloated as if there is a lot of fluid retention. Her legs are particularly vulnerable to this swelling.
Things do not improve as we go into 2014. To allow our daughter to sleep we had to call the emergency medical service who gave her a morphine tablet. In January, she was re-admitted to hospital, yet again.
This is a list of the symptoms she has experienced since being vaccinated.

Update since Natasja was released from hospital
Natasja is now home. They could not find the reason for her symptoms. They have only tried psychiatric treatment and she’s been promised a ski trip with the hospital on the 5th April 2014 to France so she can mix socially with others and try physical exercise.
She has her ups and downs, with pain worst in her knees, stomach and head. She has started home schooling run by the school. She also started handicap riding but had so much pain after two days that she had to stay in bed for a further two days afterwards. She has had a conversation with a psychiatrist at the hospital and they think it would be good for her to continue with this so we shall see what comes out of it. They say that the reason for her headaches and pain is psychiatric.
Gardasil: I want my healthy daughter back.
I feel that the medicine she gets for her POTS has started to work well, she is not so often dizzy any more, just a little sometimes when everything goes black and she has to immediately lie down on the floor.
How can someone who once was so healthy suddenly develop all these illnesses and symptoms? My greatest wish is that someone out there would help my daughter to recover, to be free of pain and to become the once healthy, happy and very active young woman she once was.
All I want is for my daughter to recover and become her old self again. That surely is not too much to ask.
Anja and Natasja, I am so sorry you have had to endure such a painful and grievous trial. You are no doubt stronger and wiser for it but I hope and pray events turn for the better for you.
I would use caution with the psychiatric care at this point. If the doctor doesn’t believe the symptoms are real than his care could prove detrimental.
I have recently become aware of girls and at times their mothers as well being committed rather than healed from physical symptoms. A cowardly, and lazy alternative to healing victims of the Gardasil reactions.
Unfortunately, some will cling violently to the belief that vaccines cause little to no harm and to think that there is any doubt remaining on the effects of the Gardasil/Cervarix vaccine is hard to believe. A situation we just have to deal with but there is good news.
Our Heavenly Father has heard the pleas and prayers and there are wonderful practitioners who have stepped up to the plate. Men and woman of great compassion and skill. I wouldn’t waste any time with practitioners who do not understand your plight. Every day is so precious and Natasja can have healing begin right away.
Distance is not a consideration. You can phone/skype and start recovery today. You are woman of strength and this weighty trial can begin to be lifted. What a beautiful family you are and I have chosen a favorite artist to soothe some of the heaviness of the day in the clip below.
Sanevax Inc has names of doctors with a proven track record and I as well have a Featured Doctors link on my site. I wish you all the best and have you in my prayers.

Anja og Natasja , jeg er så ked af, at du har måttet udholde sådan en smertefuld og alvorlig retssag. Du er uden tvivl stærkere og klogere for det, men jeg håber og beder begivenheder vende til det bedre for dig.
Jeg ville bruge forsigtighed med psykiatrisk behandling på dette punkt. Hvis lægen ikke mener, symptomerne er reelle end hans omsorg kan være skadelig .
Jeg har for nylig blevet opmærksom på pigers og til tider deres mødre samt bliver begået snarere end helbredt fra fysiske symptomer. En fej og doven alternativ til helbredelse ofre for Gardasil reaktioner.
Desværre vil nogle klynger sig voldsomt til at tro, at vacciner forårsager lidt at ingen skade, og at tro, at der er nogen tvivl tilbage om virkningerne af Gardasil / Cervarix vaccine er svært at tro. En situation, vi bare nødt til at beskæftige sig med , men der er gode nyheder.
Vor himmelske Fader har hørt de anbringender og bønner, og der er vidunderlige praktiserende læger, der har optrappet til pladen. Mænd og kvinde af stor medfølelse og dygtighed . Jeg ville ikke spilde tiden med praktiserende læger , der ikke forstår din situation . Hver dag er så dyrebar og Natasja kan have helbredende begynde med det samme .
Afstanden er ikke en overvejelse. Du kan ringe / skype og starte recovery dag. Du er kvinde af styrke og denne tungtvejende retssag kan begynde at blive løftet . Sikke en smuk familie du er, og jeg har valgt en favorit kunstner til at dulme nogle af tyngde af dagen i klippet nedenfor.
Sanevax Inc har navne på læger med en dokumenteret track record , og jeg så godt have en featured Læger link på min hjemmeside. Jeg ønsker dig alt det bedste og har dig i mine bønner.
