Menstruate symptoms and conditions

I don't know if it was the two kenalog injections but I began to menstruate-three years post-menopause. I immediately was seen by my endocrinologist, trans-vaginal sonogram and endometrial biopsy done. i just received a call tonight informing me that a polyp was found and I will need to have a D & C. It sounds like endometrial hyperplasia and this is a very sudden onset - I had the same sonogram in February and all was fine.
I have now found out that steroids can "wreak havoc" with our hormones. I was schedule to have epidural injections of steroids for back and neck injuries. I will not have them now or ever- they are not as benign and helpful as many doctors would have you believe.

I had the Mirena inserted on 13 August, 2007. So far the only side effect I've noticed is that I need to go to the toilet constantly. It's like when you're pregnant and have to pee all the time. I haven't read of anyone else experiencing this (maybe because it pales in comparison to some of the other side effects mentioned). Has anyone else had this experience.

just wanted to ease your concerns about not having a period after getting off yasmin. i was on it for about 4 months then had to get off bc i lost so much weight. it took almost 12 months for me to menstruate again! however, my situation was complicated by low body weight. i'm on it again now at at higher weight bc of endometriosis pain but i'm having a lot of side effects that i didn't have the first time (ie. leg cramps, stomach cramps, bloating, etc..)

good luck!

I have had dizziness, rapid heartbeat, headaches, intolerance of caffeine and alcohol even in small amounts.

Also, menstruation for over a month and exhaustion due to an epidural of kenalog to treat a herniated disk.

Has anyone had prolonged periods as a result of same and did you take progesterone to stop the period?

I am reluctant to take any more medicine as I usually prefer physical therapy and other natural means if at all possible but I am getting very drained as the days go on and I continue to menstruate. I have taken a blood test which shows "normal "ranges for everything although I am on the border line of anemia.

My back pain is better but had I known how poorly the cortisone would affect me I would never have chosen this procedure.

The doctor says that I just have to wait out the side effects.

I have been suffering for what is amost 2 months and I am anxious to return to a normal state so that I can regain some strength. I have been greatly weakened overall despite the moderate relief acheived for my back pain.

I had a Kenalog injection in my arm in late February for seasonal allergies and it has caused a slight indentation as well as discloration (darkening). Its about 1cm in diameter and the area around it is still tender to the touch. My period was longer than usual (11 days) right after the shot, two weeks later got period again for 7 days, a week later I spotted and now I am waiting to see if I'll menstruate this month. Does anyone know if it deteriorates muscle or fat?
