I've had rheumatoid arthritis for about 13 years, and recently was also diagnosed with fibromialgia. I've had many kenalog injections over the years. Until about 8 months ago, the only side affect I experienced was a slight headache the day after. Now, my right hip is totally deformed looking!! I was never informed of this possible side affect. And like most people, I welcomed the relief the kenalog gave me. But, now it scares me. Also, the same hip had become extremely painful. Is this another side affect I was informed of.

Hi everyone! Well, I was just diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism..The doctors say it is really bad ..they prescribed 10 mg of Tapazole..I am trying to get as much info - loaded as I can because I already know that I have to fight my own doctors to keep them on their toes...however, I do believe after all I have read so far ..I may be beat before I even start the fight...It appears I may have had this for a little while ...I have been so sick....serious vertigo...My head is not mine at all...I live in virtual unbalance...always floating...and the heat from the sweats is killing me..then there is the freezing although I refuse to let that bother me..I am tired all the time and get the vertigo every time I try to do anything strenuous and even if I just get up from bed or sitting position....I have some nausea..I refuse to let depression set in although It tries real hard...but I laugh at all my sickness as much as possible and just ask Is there anymore..I am sure I haven't got enough..haha....bring it on..I have been really sick before with the Meniers but this is just as bad..Of course I have Meniers disease, Fibromialgia, and am Peremenopausal...among other smaller problems..so it was really hard to discover thyroidism...I think I got it all....My throat was not swelled ..just throbbed and gave me serious headaches all over my face and especially in my ear....It was hurting so bad and was terribly sore to swallow or even turn my neck...but they did the test and I had one more disease to add to my growing list...go figure...why not ..I am thinking...I am very miserable..and don't trust doctors at all...they like to play to many games with peoples lives...what can I do..I am getting lost..I don't want to live like this..I want someone who really cares...Is it really to much to ask..
