He at that time put me on Kenalog!!! I haven't looked back! I can say my Crohn's at this time is under control!!! Yay!

I have suffered from childhood with hay fever and am allergic to pet dander, mold and numerous other pollens. But this past spring we had more rain than usual and life with these symptoms was more miserable than at any time in the 50 years of my life. All the allergy pills I was taking just were not affective. I took my first Kenilog 40 shot in April 09 and second one in first part of August. It has changed my daily living. I can be around grain harvest, pollen from cottonwood trees, dusty farm house plus go out in the fields again without even a sneeze. It is a miracle drug as far as I am concerned. My husband and sons are amazed at the change in my temperment because I sleep better and just plain feel better. I would even put up with a few side affects to get this kind of relief. The doc recommended I take one and try to go 6 months before having another. I made it 5 and he does not believe I will need another since winter will be upon us when 5 more months has past. I am smiling right now just thinking of all the things I can go out and do because of Kenilog 40. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE $80 and I highly recommend it but suggest you have a doctor talk to you first about frequency and possible side affects. Cheryl in Idaho | F | 53 | 5 months | 8/25/2009 | 5 | allergies/sinus inflamation | mild discomfort at injection site, no other side effects | great for helping where nothing else has | F | 24 | | 9/5/2009 | 5 | rheumatoid arthritis | Its a wonder drug...within hours I was totally painfree! 1week after the injection and all is well! | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/14/2014 | 5 | eczema | none, slight pain in the injection site for a day or two but nothing else | It cleared up my skin better than anything else. | F | 29 | 30 days | 8/22/2008 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies/Bronchitas | Severe sweating the first day after I get the shot. | I have been receiving this shot for almost 5 years at least twice a year. If it weren't for this particular medication, I would suffer badly with breathing through my nose. The membranes in my nose swell very badly;therefore the reason why I request this shot so often. Now that I am 44 years old, I get this shot 3-times a year. The only bad side affect is the sweating I do the first day of the shot. My heart races as well because this is a steroid. I recommend this shot to anyone who suffers with allergies and have a hard time breathing during this time. | F | 44 | 5 years | 8/1/2008 | 5 | allergies | NONE- I have been taking a Kenalog injection for 7 years. I have had allergies since I was a child, and was miserable from March to September. At 46 my doctor suggested I try Kenalog because I had to take prescription medication to get thru the day and was still miserable. It has been my salvation, and I will take it until a cure is found. | F | 54 | 7 years | 9/4/2008 |
KENALOG-40 (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE): This medication is used in a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, collagen and skin diseases. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of triamcinolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Triamcinolone acetonide is known as a corticosteroid hormone (glucocorticoid). It works by decreasing your body's immune response to these diseases and reduces symptoms such as swelling.
