Title: Cervarix: the simple injection causing so much controversy (Daily
Telegraph, 15 March 2009)
Contains: Amanda Steele first noticed a change in her daughter Carly last
summer. The normally exuberant 13-year-old had lost all of her energy.
Whereas normally she would have spent her days outside on the trampoline,
she now found it difficult to leave the sofa. It was even a struggle to walk
unaided to the bathroom. The blackouts, when they came, were more worrying.
Mother would find daughter out cold on the floor of their Stockport home.
Every joint in Carly's body ached, and simple tasks such as washing her hair
became impossible. Carly, on the brink of womanhood, suddenly seemed more
like a toddler. It is six months now since she last attended school. "It is
like the light has gone out in her eyes," says her mother. "It is absolutely
heartbreaking to watch." At first, the doctors blamed vertigo. Then came a
diagnosis of the balance disorder Labyrinthitis. Next, ME was suggested.
Amanda is not convinced any of these conditions are implicated. What she
believes is that Carly's condition is related to the cervical cancer vaccine
she received last year.
