I took this garbage for four days until I had to go to the ER for shortness of breath, chest pain, stomach pain, pins and needles sensation in limbs, hot flashes (felt like I had a fever) and blurry vision. The worst was the complete and utter mental breakdown, I became suicidal and had just horrible images coming through my brain.

It's been a week now and while the depression/suicidal thoughts have subsided, the anxiety, exhaustion, shortness of breath, and stomach pain remain. I'm curious how I can still have these horrible effects taking into consideration the half life of this drug. It should be out of my system now.

Any idea of how much longer this is going to last?

Started on Doxy 200mg every 12 hours for Lyme Disease about 7 days ago and have had painful pins and needles sensation in my hands - on and off since about day 4. The top of the hands seem most affected and any exposure to water (and the resulting evaporative cooling) causes elevated sensation for about 1-2 hours. Any exposure to sun causes a painful sunburn-like sensation. I will be staying out of the sun and hope the pins and needles will go away soon.

I just received a kenalog injection a week ago when I went to the doctor for sinus problems. My regular doctor was not in,so I saw a different doctor who is an allergy specialist.He spent a whole 60 seconds with me and stated that I needed an injection of kenalog.I didn't question him,as I knew that kenalog was a steroid and I had taken oral steroids before with few side effects. The injection itself was not painful,but the next day,I felt terrible and have ever since.I ache,I feel very nervous and have been crying for no reason. My blood pressure is up.I have weakness in my muscles and heart palpitations,and a constantly upset stomach.I also have had a flare -up of irritable bowel syndrome and yet even with the stomach and intestinal pain,I cannot stop eating.I am also constantly thirsty and have excessive urination.I have a pins and needles sensation in my hands and feet and I have blurry vision and confusion and forget things easily.I have trouble typing,as I have to spell-check everything.I am going crazy wondering how long these side effects will last.I am the primary caretaker of my mother,and I now cannot take care of myself.Why do they not tell a person of the possible side effects? I would never have let that nurse give me the shot had I known that it could cause such horrid side effects. And my sinuses are no better.I have an infection and now need antibiotics,which is what I told the doctor in the first place.I don't know what to do,I feel like I am going to die.

I had a Kenalog shot in May and my life has not been the same since. I went to a doctor for shoulder blade pain which he immediately diagnosed as muscular. I never believed it to be muscular pain, as the pain started while I was at rest. 4 days after the shot the pain started spreading downward into my kidneys and stomach. I couldn't eat due to extreme intestinal distress. I lost 16 lbs over the next few weeks. I later learned Kenalog can cause ulcers, plus I was on Ibuprofen (which the doctor never asked me) which can increase the risk of intestinal damage. It is over 2 months later and I can't tell you the hell I have lived in - I am still sick, severe body pain and neurological pins and needles sensation. I spoke with a lawyer who said doctors are bound by their attorneys to never admit their drug could cause damage, he also said the Kenalog could have been bad or tainted. My leg/body pain is severe and I don't know if I will ever be the same again. I have not had a period since the shot. One doctor suggested the Kenalog could have stressed my system and released a dormant virus. Or the original shoulder blade pain was an infection and the Kenalog disseminated throughout my body. There is no answer or relief. It suppresses the immune system and cause false negatives on blood tests.
All I can say is please say a pray for me and stay away from Kenalog.

I was prescribed Doxycycline for a lyme rash and have been on it for 10 days. Nausea the first 2 days if I took it on an empty stomach in the morning, better if I eat breakfast first and then wait an hour. Started getting the pins and needles sensation in both my hands and fingers especially when placed under cold water to wash them on about day 4. I plan to call the doctor to see if I can switch to Amoxicillin.
