My brother’s pancreas worked for a while, then quit. At 2 y.o.

What’s more interesting is that occasionally his pancreas functions (for part of a night), and it causes the worst problems ever (low blood sugar).

I really don’t think this is the vaccination causing this. It’s just the way Juvenile Diabetes sets in. One day you are OK, the next day you are insulin dependent for the rest of your life.

My brother had zero vaccinations at 2 y.o. He is lucky and is now at the age of 34, thanks to the technology of the insulin pump. I hope one day integrated blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery systems can give him something even closer to a normal life. The occasional ultra low blood sugars are just scary.

As for Gardasil, I will give it to my kids when I have them. Even if my kids are angels, they may end marrying someone who was not such an angel, and HPV is a very insidious virus, and kills lots of women via cervical cancer, and has the potential to trigger cancers in males as well.

Because the virus itself is so stealthy, carriers usually don’t even know they have it. People usually discover it as a source of their tumors or genital warts years after they are infected.

Since the founding of this nation, each year, more and more people experiment with sex. If you find the perfect virgin mate, good for you! But many won’t, and they should protect themselves, since the protection is now available.

My wife deals with this as well. Sometimes her pancreas will “wake up” just long enough to send her sugars to the basement. She is also a brittle diabetic. It means she can swing 50+ points very quickly.

She is also starting to have stomach problems with processing much of anything. Takes a drug store to keep things working properly in her stomach. But even then there are days where nothing works and things kinda back up in there.

My wife ended up with type 1 during a hospital stay. She went in for surgery on her ankle. They suspect they gave her to many steroids and that is what triggered the onset.

Regardless today she lives with a accucheck pump, dexcom blood sugar monitor and a very limited diet.

So you figure your boys will be at risk for anal cancer??? This young MAN unless homosexual has no need for gardasil.

Frankly the truth is that annual pap smears and monogamy in a relationship will do more to protect from cervical cancer than anything else. If you think that gardasil is a good vaccine you ought to do a bit more research about it’s effectiveness and what exactly it protects against. Truth is people have been sold a bill of goods on this one.....kind of like the hep B vaccine.
