Am I the only person afraid to get the Gardasil injection?
I'm not afraid of needles or anything like that but it scares me that it just came out. I keep thinking back to my abnormal psych. class when my teacher said, "When any medication comes out they force it onto as many people as will take it to gather further studies so it's best to wait awhile and see if any side effects come up later from it like paxil did."
And I keep thinking, "Okay, this stuff just came out...what if I wind up sterile or something?!"
I know I'm being overly paranoid but does ANYONE else feel this way?
I want to take the shot because I don't want HPV and I know it helps prevent some of the viruses...but then I'm hung up on it being new.
Hmm...
