I'm a 30 year old woman with nearly constant mild to moderate itching with several spurts a day of severe itching that keeps me from sleeping or focusing. It began three years ago during my 20th week of pregnancy and never left. I have tested negative for all allergens. I've had a kenalog shot, attarax, benzodiazepenes. I've used lidocaine, menthol, etc type lotions (and three or four prescription ones). Nothing helps. I don't have dry skin.
Has anyone else ever experianced this and how long does it take for the kenalog to dissolve. My vision in that eye was around 20/40 and it was believed that the kenalog could get my vision closer to 20/20. Which I was thrilled to hear but now I can not even see the eye chart.I will see my retina specialist next week. Thank you for your help.
Immediately after Kenalog injection in one eye to treat CME after cataract surgery, I had 2 types of floaters. Bear in mind that everyone is different. I described mine, which did go away, as huge black tangled ropes hanging from the top and swaying (looked like I was going through a car wash) and thousands of black dots/specs flying around (looked like the universe). Dr. responded that it was from the shot and would go away; I was very relieved..
My past doctor in another state had me on Kenalog shot 80 mg, every 3.5 months. I have since moved to another state bringing along my past medical records for my new doctor. He said his program does not provide him with Kenalog and so he gave me a shot of Decadron 4 mg every three months. It has been a week since my shot and my allergies are starting to return. What is the difference between the two, and which one is better?
I take a shot every 90 days for them. The injection is kenalog. 40mg, 1cc. Since moving here from california I can not find a doctor that gives this shot. I have actually had a few say they never heard of kenalog used for allergies. Hard to believe since its in opening paragraph for kenalog under google search. Does anyone live in illinois and know where I can get this shot.
I can not sleep due to constant congestion in my sinuses. So hard to live and work in this condition.
I recently received the Kenalog injection and had a reaction (month later) i've never had an irregular menstrual cycle and after the injection i've had a second one in one month. i've had slight dizziness and elevated headaches.
The over the counter medications such as Claritin and Tylenol allergy were not helping with my allergies and my doctor decided that kenalog was the way to go. it helped with my allergies but i'm afraid of the side effects.
My Dermatogist tried cortisone cream, then oral prednisone, the after some reluctance, kenalog injections. He said he was hesitant about the kenalog because it may cause my skin to thin out. My queation is if my skin does thin out, is it permant? Also is kenalog effective in treating this condition? And give me your opinion on his use of the prednisone.

He said his program does not provide him with Kenalog and so he put me on Decadron 4 mg every 3 months. It has been a week since he gave me the shot, and my allergies are already starting to return. What is the difference between the two, and which one is better?
Could all of this be the result of the kenalog injection or a yeast infection exacerbated by the kenalog injection? Or possibly nerve damage from the kenalog injection? I'm even wondering if it is the diflucan killing off the yeast infection which caused nerve damage throughout the area. It is driving me crazy and I can't eat or work or date or anything. I was convinced it was HSV but every doctor and the blood tests say no.
This last year I needed help for degenerative disc disease and was given caudal blocks (4) and facet injections (8) and all the psoriasis went away. I know that Kenalog was used in the injections. How often can one have an injection of Kenalog? The caudal blocks and the facet injections cost over $35,000.00 when all the different factors were added in.......operating room, anesthesiologist, doctor, medications, etc.
Female with huge indentation face post kenalog injection supposedly into cyst on cheek.
Cyst still there..
Totally unxpected outcome. What are my options now?
I got a Kenalog injection 8 months ago for allergies in my hip and it has atrophied so much that it causes pain to sit, and sometime just standing. At times pain goes down my leg to the calf. My doctor said it was the worst he has seen and is referring me to a plastic surgeon How long does this condition continue to progress? Is it self limiting? Does that mean I can never take a steroid in the future? I can't tell if the bones hurt or it's just the tissue.
Back in December (late December) I got sick and got a Kenalog shot. My nurse practicioner did tell me this could cause it. I got another Kenalog shot last Monday and started spotting today!!! I was good for a month! I have had Kenalog shots quite often when I get upper respiratory infections due to my low immune system. Could this be the problem??

I went to doctor yesterday (on 6th day) for ezcema and he gave me a KENALOG - 60 mg shot in my butt (because i have ezcema all over my body) and also gave me a cream called fluocinonide 0.05% which is similar to what i was applying earlier for several months. He did a biopsy (to rule out psolaris)
1) What is my risk for HIV.
2) Do i need testing and if so when, because i just had a kenalog shot would this delay my antibody formation. Do i need a PCR testing?
I just received an antibody test negative but during the course of the window period i received Kenalog shots for hair regrowth . Would that suppress my immune system enough to cause a false negative being that it is a steroid. I waited long enough to test according to the archives of your forum ( well over 9 weeks).
Hi, I want to thank you for this online medical service and my question is I have a 9 years old nephew who is suffering from severe exzema and its been with him for 4 years I want to know if using Kenalog shots is the right solution in his case? attached is some of the recent picture of his legs and how they look currently.
