Dyshidrotic eczema symptoms and conditions

I had two Kenalog injections (not sure of the dose) several years ago to help curb the effects of dyshidrotic eczema on my hands ... and wound up not ovulating for about three months. This had not even been brought up as a potential side effect when my dermatologist recommended the injections, and she acted as though it was a very small thing when I called about it later on. I was not given a drug information sheet (nor, I have to confess, did I ask for one).

In my personal experience, though, the relief from the pain, blisters, cracking and bleeding on my hands was worth not having a period for several months, but if you're trying to get pregnant or already have female problems (i.e., PCOS, etc.), I would make a point to discuss these things with your dermatologist and/or your regular care physician before progressing with the injections.

I was put on a 12-day dose of Prednisone for what the Doc "thinks" is dyshidrotic eczema. (I suddenly developed a rash on my hands and feet a few months back.)

This is my second day on the sssh..stuff! I've taken 30MG of pred - each day. It's 2AM and I'm WIDE awake and starving!!! I ate all day today not realizing why I was SO HUNGRY! Tonight for dinner I ate a huge steak and baked potato including all the fixins. I had no sensation of fullness or hunger relief...NONE! The gnawing hungry is constant and not relieved even for the FEW hours I am asleep. After reading the lovely reviews on this site, I'm calling my Doc tomorrow and getting off of this crap. My gwad...it's 2004...can't our medical community do better than this?? They should be ashamed of themselves exposing people like me with mild conditons to meds like this with such severe side affects!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THIS POISON TO BE FLUSHED FROM THE SYSTEM??
