| 2 | allergies | I took the shot for my allergies. Worked great for that but my thoughts have been racing ever since. I also have been having trouble sleeping at night. | Worked great for my allergies and I can breath now but I'd rather be coughing then feeling like this | F | 38 | 1 days | 6/18/2008 | 5 | Hayfever | None | Within a few hours my hayfever symptoms disapeared! History -> Every year I would suffer badly, and antihistamine tablets and OTC meds only helped to a limited extent. This year I started to get syptoms as usual sneezing and itchy eyes so in June tried the kenalog 40mg injection. Result -> amazing improvement, can walk through grass etc with no problems and dont get any sneezing, eye watering or stuffiness at night! | M | 39 | 2 weeks | 6/15/2008 | 5 | Nasal Allergies | None, my nose cleared up within 30 minutes after I received the injection. Thank God | F | 58 | 1 times | 6/3/2008 | 5 | Severe allergies | None | The relief from the seasonal ragweed is so fantastic, I wish it could be that good all year. It does only last for about 6 weeks and the Doctors are reluctant to give more than one shot, although I can have a second shot if I feel I need it. I get a shot the first or second week of August evey year and it last until mid to late September. It may not be for everyone, but it has sure been a life saver for a chronic ragweed sufferer. | M | 54 | 18 times | 6/2/2008 | 3 | Pollen allergy: sinus, lungs, eyes | I am not convinced it is related, but I am one year menopausal and have had breakthrough bleeding two months later when the allergy season is at its height. | My allergy (pollen related) symptoms are much better this year than last. I still need to take the additional allergy medications which I had to take before. I still don't dare open the door until a half hour after taking the meds., but the symptoms are much better this year. In addition to the Kenalog shot I started an online free Tools for Life program that deals with depression. I was taking anti depression medicine (Prozac) at the time. I am no longer on antidepression medicine. I have not had any more suicidal thoughts. I change the program to include self talk that aligns with my own beliefs. This includes being thankful for all the medication including the Kenalog. | F | 54 | 2 months | 5/31/2008 | 2 | Cervical disk degeneration | Severe menstrual changes (period flow started just before 2 injection & has lasted 3 weeks so far; cramps occur every few days; blood clots are common); insomnia (started after 2nd injection); weight gain (about 10 pounds in just under 2 months). | I have undergone a series of 3 Kenalog injections in my neck to reduce cervical radiculopathy & associated headaches. To date, pain level has not diminished, so I am apparently not one of the lucky 50% that has good results from Kenalog. If you are in moderate to severe pain, Kenalog may be worth trying, but proceed with caution if you are a pre-menopausal female...due to the potential for significant menstrual changes. | F | 45 | 7 weeks | 5/28/2008 | 4 | seasonal allergies/asthma | none | I have had this shot each year for 4 years (once per year in May) for severe seasonal allergies and asthma due to birch pollen. I basically cannot go outside during birch pollen season unless I get this shot. I had no side effects. However, I am concerned about some of the side effects I am reading, so I didn't get it this year, I might do it every other year instead to decrease the risks of side effects. I wonder what the long-term side effects are going to be. | F | 32 | 4 times | 5/24/2008 | 1 | allergies | Dent in buttock where shot was given.. Period still going non-stop for 2 months straight, headaches. When will this ever end? The doctors do not bother to let you know these effects either. | F | 35 | 1 times | 5/22/2008 | 4 | sinus infection/allergies | None | I had the worse sinus infection and couldn't breath thru my nose at all. I was miserable and wasn't sleeping. I went to the doctor on a Friday and by Monday I was feeling fabulous. I have suffered from allergies forever, so I am glad I found something that might do the trick when allergy season hits every year. I am so glad I didn't get any side effects. | F | 43 | | 5/5/2008 | 1 | Contact Dermatitis | Anxiety, depression, joint and muscle pain, back and neck stiffness, indentation at injection site | This drug has given me side effects for the past eight months. As soon as one symptom goes away, another one surfaces. I've heard that it can stay in your system for up to a year. I developed a huge indentation in my left gluteal where the shot was administered, which will probably be permanent. I will NEVER get this shot again. | F | 45 | 1 times | 5/1/2008 | 2 | Skin Rash | Hot flashes, bruising, bleeding, anxiety, irritibility, depression, thoughts of suicide, inability to focus, racing heart | Symptoms have hi-jacked my life. I am now seeking psychiatric help to treat the effects of the drug. Those treatments come with their own side effects. The whole thing is a slippery slope. I would not take this injection again, and I don't recommend it to people whose diognostic situation isn't severe. | F | 45 | 2 weeks | 4/22/2008 | 1 | rash | period for a month | i saw a lot of feedback from women who had this side effect and wanted to let them know that after an appt with an OBGYN she gave me estrogen pills and it has fixed it. worth a try!!! | F | 30 | 1 days | 4/17/2008 | 5 | seasonal allergies | None | It keeps me allergy-free for the entire season. I've taken it 3 springs now, getting the inj just once in April. So much better than falling asleep with oral meds. | F | 55 | 3 years | 4/11/2008 | 1 | Cosmetic/ acne | Killer Head aches, all of my joints swollen, fatiuge, depression, cramps in all of my musles. | I was unable to walk with out serious pain for about 5 days. The first 4 days my head hurt so bad my vision was blurry. The tested me for everything in the book and oviously that was not it because I was having a reaction to the shots. I recieved two shots in my forhead, one in each cheek and one in my chin. I was unable to go to work for 3 weeks. Today is the first day that I have be feeling 100% functional. | F | 20 | 1 days | 4/9/2008 | 5 | Allergies | No side effects. | I have taken this shot four times over two years for my allergies and have only experienced what summers are like without allergies. This is supposed to be administered DEEP in the muscle to avoid fatrophy. I take it in the shoulder where I have very little fat tissue and have had no problem with dents in my body. Like all things, you must measure risk based on the rewards you seek; unfortunately, doctors are more about the reward than the risk. If OTC will work for your allergies don't take this shot. If you are female, don't take this shot (reproductive havoc). For me, last ditch effort that it was, the shot is wonderful. | M | 31 | 2 years | 3/28/2008 | 2 | Allergies/Sinus pain/pressure | Flushing, increased anxiety and one panic attack about 2 hours after injection, irregular menstrual cycle (having a period every other week that lasts 10 days for the past 6 weeks). Hormonal changes, mild depression, increased acne and hair growth. | I got the Kenalog 40 shot 01/25/08 for sinus congestion/pressure and pain. I also had a sinus infection at the time. About two hours after getting the injection I started flushing very easily..this lasted about two weeks. I also had a panic attack about two hours after the injection and horrible anxiety, fortunately that only happened once (the panic attack). on 02/02/08 I started my period and it lasted ten days (not normal for me). Then on 02/16/08 I started my period again (another long one). Then on 03/01/08 I started my period AGAIN. They all last about ten days. So I don't know if it's the shot that is making me feel slightly depressed or just the fact that I have a period that won't go away. My OB/GYN and allergist both agreed that this menstrual abnormality is due to the shot and that I should never receive it again. She said it can stay in my system for up to three months. That means I might be like this up until the end of April. Great. At least I have learned that I will nev | F | 28 | 1 days | 3/6/2008 | 1 | for nerve damage from surgery | A square dent the size of a tennis ball on the rt side of my spine down to the bones of my ribcage. | This medicine did not help the nerve damage. It was given as an injection sapposedly between three levels of ribs. I think the doctor missed a bit and spilled some medicine in the tissue beneath the skin and the tissue has dissolved. The dent is very obvious, all the way to the bone. I am so sad about this. | F | 48 | 1 days | 2/12/2008 | 1 | Poison Ivy | I had an immediate high, like I was on something, and could not sleep for 3 days, then 4th day I finally came down and went to sleep, then on the 5th day my blood pressure shot up to 175/110 and stayed there all day until I went to my family doctor, btw the first doctor I went to was a dermatologist. My family doctor said it wasnt even poison ivy by excema and was given a topical and its clearing already. So took it for no reason and now its causeing blood pressure problems. So get a second opinion is what I will do from now on. | F | 50 | 1 days | 1/31/2008 | 1 | allergic reaction | indentation on my right butt, light discoloration, and soreness where shot was administered. | i highly don't recommend the shot. ask the doctor the side effects. | F | 27 | 1 times | 1/15/2008 | 5 | ruptured disk L4-5 | none right away, once my period was due, it hasn't stopped (24 days so far)but I can live again! | I was in so much pain with sciatica,unable to walk or sleep, after my MRI proved my disk was ruptured,(and trying to avoid surgery) I went to a Pain Management Doctor. He shot me right in the disk with Kenolg40 and lidocaine. Now I can walk and I only feel a little tug there. I had a total of 3 shots(1x month) with no severe side affects! I am going to see a Professional about Laser surgery or other options | F | 40 | 3 days | 1/9/2008 | 1 | feeling run down, sore throat 1 mo. | Dent on my right buttock (muscle atrophy) cramps on my calves, depression, anxiety, and now pain on my hip and leg. It all started a few weeks/ months after I got the shot. | I would never let a physician's assistant or nurse administer and/or recommend any drug again! And next time I will ask for full disclosure of side effects of any drug the doctor wants to give me. I am going to see an orthopedist to ask if there is anything I can do to build back the muscle tissue I lost from having the injection and if the muscle wasting will continue. | F | 43 | 1 days | 12/14/2007 | 1 | allergies | Suicidal thoughts | I took this drug seasonally for 2 years.This drug works absolutely wonderful on the allergies I suffered from; however, it is a silent killer. It can bring about suicidal thoughts within 2 days of injection. The drug will stay in your system for up to 90 days. You may understand that you do not want to kill yourself but the drug causes such an urge that you really need to be on suicide watch for a good week. My psychiarist help me put the connection together after another business executive patient of hers went off the deep end in 2 days after receiving the drug from his MD. Be careful. This drug is silently killing people and leaving grieving familes behind with a bunch of unanswered questions. Most doctors do not make the connection. I now see an allergist for my allergies. | M | 42 | 2 years | 12/9/2007 | 5 | severe allergies | None | I have had severe allergies my whole life. I am allergic to pollen, dust, and pets. My eyes would swell shut and my nose would constantly run and every time I would pet my dog I would break out. When I got the first shot, all my symptoms disappeared for about 4 months. I now get the shot twice a year. Nothing else ever worked, but this did! | F | 25 | | 11/13/2007 | 5 | allergies | None, and I got this shot with Decadron, one in each hip. Severe fluid in the ears, swollen nasal membranes, swollen throat from seasonal allergies. It's been about 12 hours and feeling much better. I will continue this regime until I get adult tubes put in my ears! I have eustachian tube atrophy. | It always causes a slight headache maybe the first week, but after that, I'm good. No complaints, Tylenol does the trick! | F | 42 | 5 years | 11/11/2007 | 3 | cosmetic, scarring | I have had 3 series of these shots. Each time I became tired, had muscle aches, bone soreness, and was fatigued. I also had a pinched nerve that I was blaming for this but after the last shots it became clear what was going on. I think this will be the last round - I'll deal with the scars!!! It's better to feel better than to look better! | F | 43 | 3 times | 10/25/2007 | 3 | HAYFEVER/ALLERGIES | MUSCLE ATROPHY OF THE RIGHT BUTTOCK | HAVE HAD THE INJECTION 3 TINES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. THE THIRD INJECTION HOWEVER LEFT ME WITH A PERMANENT SIDE EFFECT OF A INDENTATION AT THE INJECTION SITE. THE STEROID 'CURED'MY ALLERGIES WHILST IN SEASON....HOWEVER....I WAS NEVER WARNED OF THE POTENTIAL IRREVERSABLE SIDE EFFECTS. I WILL NOT BE GETTING ANOTHER INJECTION! | F | 25 | 3 days | 10/7/2007 | 5 | Allergies | Noticed more skin pustules on my leg a month after my injection. I haven't determined if this a side effect of the drug or coincidence. | I've had very bad seasonal allergies my entire life. I'm taking two injections a year and have little to no allergy symptoms since. | M | 45 | 4 years | 9/5/2007 | 1 | cosmetic, inflammatory granulomas | Even though I was injected a relatively small amount, I went from to totally energetic to non-functional overnight. Here a small excerpt from my journal: "Horrible reaction again! He clearly missed and let the needle drag..., a large blueish-black area developed right away to the left of the granuloma. Next came the bone-deep fatigue and debilitating weakness, the crazy eye pain, the severe headache, the out-of schedule period, the dizziness, the body aches, the depressive state, the general malaise... What a nightmare really -- I can barely hold myself up on this chair..." As someone completely fit who does one hour of strenuous Ashtanga yoga every day, I had to endure this intollerable state for nearly one month. | I called the pharmacist about a week after the injection to report these side effects and was told that since triamcinolone was injected as opposed to taken via the oral route, there should only be local irritation and that the symptoms I was describing were most like unrelated to the drug! I told hime that this had been the second time out of three that this had happended -- each time I had the severe reaction was when the doctor's technique was less than stellar and the potent steroid got to escape into my system through the bloodstream (e.g., I was bleeding each time I got sick). I was shocked by how little this guy seemed to know about the drug or its associated side effects. Most disturbing to me was the fact that he tried to talk me out of my symptoms! Seems to me that this strategy works on most people. He found out quickly that I was not one of them! | F | 43 | 9 months | 8/20/2007 | 1 | anti inflammatory for knee | nine day long period every four days for a month so far. I had no warning from the orthopedic surgeon about this possibility. At my follow up I asked him and he said that he must have forgot to mention the possible side effects. I am furious. My husband and I are also trying to concieve. Side note- it did not help my knee anyways. | F | 30 | 1 times | 7/12/2007 | 1 | wheezing | I had vertigo for about a month, I have a large indention at the site of the injection. I will never get an injection again! | M | 32 | 1 days | 6/28/2007 | 1 | hay fever | atrophy at injection site. Told it will fade but there will always be indention from fat cells being destroyed. Have had period for 3 1/2 months now.Doctors don't know when it will stop. | My daughter is only 13 and I would have never let her get that one shot of Kenalog if the doctors would have told me this could happen to her. I'm angry at the company and the doctor. They still don't want to admit the bleeding is from the Kenalog. I know after seeing a few sites that this has happened to far to many women to not be noticed. | F | 31 | 1 times | 6/15/2007 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies | I had a dent in the area where it was injected once, but it went away and I never have had tghat problem since. | I have really bad seasonal allergies. They keep me awake at night and during the day I am constantly sneezing, itchy throat, watery itchy eyes. When I take the shot my sypmtoms disappear and I feel 100% better. I guess everyone is different and react to drugs different. But for me this drug has changed my life for the better. | F | 31 | 7 years | 5/29/2007 | 5 | took kenalog 20 | just a little pain in the arm were it was administered, then got hungry, but that was it. | SYMPTOMS: HAY FEVER (ALLERGIC RHINITIS?)- THE WORST KIND OF SEASONAL ALLERGY- FEVER, BODY ACHES, SNEEZING, CHILLS, ITCHING OF THROAT, EYES, NOSE STUFFED UP, PHLEGM, CONGESTION, SINUSES, THE WHOLE THING, IT FEELS LIKE THE "FLU" OR A NASTY COLD ALL TOGETHER IN ONE....! IN NEW YORK, TWICE A YEAR- MAY AND AUGUST (TREE POLLEN AND GRASS) IN FLORIDA, ONCE A YEAR- MARCH (TREE POLLEN AND GRASS) TREATMENT: TRIED EVERYTHING OTC:ALL THE ANTI-HISTAMINS, DECONGESTANTS,AFRIN, ETC, THEN PRESCRIPTIONS:FROM ALLERGY PILLS (ALL), NASAL SPRAYS, BUT NOTHING WORKED. ******THAT IS, UNTIL I WAS GIVEN A SHOT OF KENALOG, I THINK IN 2000, A FEW YEARS AGO.... IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY- IN A FEW HOURS I WAS RELIEVED! IT TOOK ME 5 YEARS AND A GREAT EAR-NOSE-THROAT- SPECIALIST IN NYC TO POINT IT OUT TO ME , BASED ON MY SPECIFIC SITUATION... VOILA' IT WORKS EVERY TIME, NO COMPLICATIONS 1X OR 2X A YEAR (JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS PATIENT BEFORE ME STATED)DEPENDING ON GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. THANKS GOD! | M | 36 | 7 years | 5/25/2007 | 5 | year round allergies | Absolutely none. I was prepared for them though as I research any drug I might take thoroughly so I know what I'm letting myself in for. I would have done anything at the time. | Seriously, Kenalog has completely changed my life, and my partner's. I used to get hayfever/allergy effects so bad that my eyes would stream every day, I coughed 24/7 and went through about 2 toilet rolls a day from incessant rhinitis. It was vile. I never looked healthy. Now everyone comments on the change. | F | 35 | 2 years | 4/25/2007 | 1 | Joint Inflammation | Period every two weeks since February. | F | 30 | | 4/9/2007 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | This drug immediately stopped my allergies... Hurray! But I did/do have side effects. The afternoon/eve that I had the shot, I had a horrible headache and muscle spasms in my neck. Also a feeling of pressure in my head. Also, I have noticed that since the shot (1wk ago), I have had a marked worsening of my premature ventricular contractions (PVC's), otherwise known as heart palpitations. I am still searching to see if this is a common side effect or not. But this did knock out my allergies, which had become completely disabling. | This was a one-time injection. | F | 39 | | 4/6/2007 | 1 | anti-inflammatory | flushing/burning feeling in face and neck immediately and for 24 hours afterwards; menstrual irregularities - bleeding every two weeks still; fatigue; depression | Had I known that these side effects would occur I would have never agreed to try this injection. Dealing with the pain would have been much better and plus my husband and I probably could have conceived by now. But how can you when you're bleeding all the time and not ovulating? Unbelievable. Never again will I try steroids for pain. I wish my doctor would have explained the possible side effects to me. Do your research if you're thinking about this shot. It's been over 2 months since I had one injection and my cycle is so screwed up! | F | 28 | 1 times | 3/28/2007 | 4 | Herniated disc L4 L5 | heart palpatations, anxiety, leg cramps in both calves, menstrual cycle - so far for 4 weeks nonstop. | Helped the pain in my sciatica go away; just wish my doctor had informed me of the side effects so that I would be aware of it beforehand. | F | 39 | 2 times | 3/16/2007 | 1 | Large Bulging Disc L5-S1 Back Pain | If I would have known about the severe side effects I would have never taken this. I have had my first period after taking the injection. I have had my period for 16 days straight! Its not even close to a normal period either. I have now felt very weak and I have had to start taking iron pills to help give me a boost. I called the anesthesiologist and told him about my problem and he said he never heard of that happening before and that I needed to see my OB/GYN. Well, now that I found this web site I see I am not the only one who ever had this problem. I am going to my OB/GYN tomorrow just to make sure everything else is ok and to see what he thinks about it. I am furious! I never in my life want to have another period again after having this one! | I had this injection as a steroid epidural that was quite painful to get. I was told that it could last anywhere from 1 month to one year and the success rate that it actually works in patients is about 50/50. Well, I was just about ready to do anything because of my back pain and my family doctor wants to avoid surgery at all costs if we can. He told me if this didnt work my next step would be to see a surgeon. Well, after the shot that night I had horrible pain, so bad I called the doctor back because I felt it wasnt normal. After about of month of some back pain but not bad, its back. It's been one month yesterday to the day and I have back pain again, sciatic nerve problems (which I had before) and my leg is now going numb and tingling again. I guess I was one of the 50% that it doesnt work. So I'm going back to my family doctor on the 16th of the month for a referal to a surgeon. I will NOT try this injection ever again! | F | 26 | 1 months | 11/5/2006 | 3 | Back pain (Sacroilliac joint tear) | Depression, anxiety, mild paranoia, insomnia, bloating, acne. | I had 3 Kenalog shots within a 6 month period. The first two shots only eased my back pain for a couple of weeks; so my doctor tripled the dose on my 3rd shot. That's when I experienced alarming side effects (especially depression). | F | 47 | 3 times | 10/25/2006 | 5 | seasonal allergies | The first time I got the shot, it was administered in my gluteus muscle and within a few days I noticed a dent where the injection had been given. It didn't cause any discomfort, and it filled in after about six months. I got another shot a year later and didn't get a dent from it. I haven't had any problems with menstrual spotting because I'm on Depo Provera and haven't menstruated in two years anyway. | This drug is a miracle! Prior to my first injection, I had tried every prescription and OTC allergy drug out there. When my Dr. decided to try Kenalog on me, I was on three meds and still suffering. After the shot, it's like I don't even have allergies at all. The only side effect I've suffered is the temporary dent I got from the first injection, and I'd take that any day over speniding 6 months of the year being made miserable by allergies. | F | 26 | 2 years | 9/28/2006 | 1 | Back Problems | Had the shot one time on the day that I started my period....well, that was over two weeks ago and I have not stopped. I usually have a cycle of three days but since the shot it has been about 16 DAYS!!!!!! I wish my Dr. had told me. I would of tried to deal with the back pain before dealing with the pain of going to the drug store all the time to buy tampons!!! | F | 32 | 1 days | 9/20/2006 | 3 | seasonal allergies | Bleeding for 3 months | I got the injection 6/20 and started my period about 3 weeks later and have only stopped bleeding for about 1 week since then! | F | 28 | 3 months | 9/18/2006 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies | I have experienced no side effects | I have had terrible seasonal allegies for most of my life, age 42 now. Began taking Kenalog shots about 10 years ago off and on but more recently since I've moved back to the upper midwest. I get 2 shots a year, 1 in April and 1 in August and that's it. Kenalog is the only drug that relieves my symtoms that sometimes overwhelm me. I have tried every other product on there and not have worked including immunotherapy. The only thing that did work at one time was chiropractic work believe it or not but it relieved most of my symtoms, unfortunately it's to costly for me. | M | 42 | 8 years | 8/27/2006 | 3 | allergies | I received the Kenalog shot for my seasonal allergies and yes it did help but now I have had a period for 2 months. Will it ever end? | I am never getting this shot again. My husband and I are trying to conceive our first baby and how can we do that when I am still on my period. | F | 28 | 2 times | 8/13/2006 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none | This is the only drug perscribed or otc that has worked so effectivly on seasonal allergies | M | 34 | 5 years | 6/22/2006 | 1 | diagnostically, plugged ear | Menstrual irregularities. Period every 2 weeks since taking the shot. | Did not help my ears. Should not use for diagnostic purposes. I felt very upset that I was not informed of the side effects even after questioning the doctor about the safety of the shot. | F | 31 | 1 times | 5/3/2006 | 1 | asthma | Subcutaneous fat atrophy of my arm at the injection site (inappropriate at that) which, after a year, is still rather deep and has been starting to hurt lately. Was told by a doc that it will never heal. Also, soon after the injection I had a menstrual period that lasted 41 days. | I WOULD NEVER EVER TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN! (and wouldn't in the first place had I been informed of the side effects.) | F | 34 | 1 times | 1/1/2006 | 2 | painful cracking on feet | Subcutaneos atrophy of my right glutal.I'll more then likely be permanetly disfigured.Also irregular menstral periods and mild depression. | I don't recomend using this drug.You should do your own research, don't depend on your doctor to warn of side effects and don't depend on his nurse to administer this drug to you correctly. | F | 30 | 1 days | 12/9/2005 | 1 | cosmetic, and inflamtion | fat atrophy, entire face! scarring, redness....edema of the face for one month, chemical depression for a month, vertigo for aprox a month! possibly mini stroke, rt eye, inlfamation of the opti fiber. etc. | an internest who practice is called radaince, gives injectable fillers for smile lines etc. over injected me w/radaince and his way of correcting the problem was to injected thoes ares w/ kenalog...in two weeks i suffered severe atrophy of fat tissue in my face..sunken cheeks, and so forth..i had beautiful full cheeks and looked very youthful but started getting smile lines..the radaince i was over injected and it clumped and his method of correcting his mistake, was kenalog injections..it went from bad to worse...kenalog causwed sever fat atrophy..i would never recommend it! nor the injectable filler radaince iether! | F | 46 | 1 days | 10/13/2005 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Cardiac arrythmias, palpitations, premature ventricular contractions, hypertensive episodes, anxiety, nervousness | Within 24 hours of my injection, I honestly felt like I was going to die. I could feel my heart dropping beats, then I would become diaphoretic and light-headed. Sad part is that it takes 6 months for this stuff to metabolize out of my system. The sinus infetions and severe allergies were a cake walk compared to this feeling like you're going to drop dead. | M | 40 | 1 times | 7/30/2005 |
