 1  Eczema On day 3, after the Kenalog Injection I had extreme inflammation in both knees and could hardly get up from a sitting position. I am walking slow. Then, a few days later the whole right side of my body is inflamed. I was told by the doctor that it would not affect my Osteoporosis nor disc disease. I feel lied to. He was in a hurry to give me the injection and didn't seem very patient in answering questions, more like avoiding giving answers. Doctors should show patients respect for their bodies. Patients have a right to ask questions, and to know what is being ingested in their bodies. I am 72 years old, and I feel violated. I feel Kenalog should be banned. F 72 1 days

 2  Systemic lupus Prolonged menstrual cycle for over 3 weeks, tremors, hypertension, anxiety, very low mood to point of feeling like I don't want to be here anymore, sweating, insomnia, extreme mania (highs and lows) The side effects of this medication are extreme and they need a warning label for patients to be fully aware of what they are putting inside their bodies, somedays it seems worth the effects others not so much, its been 7 weeks for me and I can't wait for it to be out of my body, would consider having it again but with extra support for low moods.

 1  Allergies Horrible, horrible drug. I was given this for allergies and my life has been a living hell for the following three plus months. I was not given any information about the dangers of this drug. It helped my sinuses for about three days and then the ear ringing the migraine and the acute all day long anxiety attack started, and my sinuses were back to swollen shut. I already have problems with anxiety but this amplified it by about 1000. On top of the panic attacks I could barely function because I was so dizzy and discombobulated it was hard to walk straight. It honestly felt like having a two and a half month hallucination where it was impossible to focus or even connect to reality. My first period after the shot came on time but it was the most painful heavy period I have ever had in my life, and my hormones were so off balance I thought I was going crazy. My following period started a week early and over a month later now it still hasn't stopped. The dilerium eased up after about two and a half months, but the anxiety and depression are still out of control, my period won't stop, I am having trouble with stomach pain and difficulty going to the bathroom, and it left a huge dent in my arm. It has now been over three months and I'm still suffering from side effects. Please do not take this horrible drug unless you will die without it. It will ruin your life. F 39 0 days

 1  Eczema I've had Kenalog 40 mg on November 2020, since then my period is a mess! It won't stop bleeding and now it's January 2021. Fatigue, depression (crying most of the time), sucide thoughts, severe pain in my bones, problems in breathing And the eczema didn't go away completely, still have some itchy spots. The doctor who gave it to me didn't tell me any of these sides effects could happen neither he gave me the choice not to take it. He said it's the only treatment for my severe eczema. I'm really tired of this situation, and wonder for how long these side effects will stay!? F 41 1 days

 1  Allergies/asthma About a day or two after I got the shot, my blood sugar spiked causing me to go pee 3-6 times a night every night. And now three weeks later I'm having trouble breathing and can't take a deep breath. This is by far the dumbest thing I've been pressured into. I can't wait for this crap to be out of my system. Just don't do it. The side effects aren't worth it. M 36 1 days
