Psorisis symptoms and conditions

Has anyone suffered severe dandruff and itchy scalp, to the point of distraction like???

I had my mirena fitted in 2000 when I was 40 years old. I have suffered with psoriasis since that time and only recently realized that maybe this could be linked to the hormone. I have spoken to my GP who insists that there could be no link and that it is purely co-incidental, however he can offer no other advise as to the cause of the psoriasis, so how does he know. I have tried all sorts of remedies to alleviate the psoriasis with no luck. I am now practically convinced that the mirena is the cause and am considering having it removed asap. I have also experienced palpitations for the last two years and have had all the tests and have been told I am fine. I also suffer from IBS. Has anyone else experienced similar?

ive been having some side effects. i told my doctor that i itch all the time- he told me it could be a number of things, ie laundry soap- i didn't believe it, but continued to take it. i have also been depressed and unmotivated for the past 8 or 9 months, and i feel like i only sleep deeply for about 2 hrs a night. recently i have developed a bad rash , psoriasis? on my hand. my question is can i just stop taking Singulair or do i need to taper off of the drug?? im kinda scared after reading all the posts.

I stumbled upon this page because my dermatologist wants me to start new shots for my psorisis. In the past I had gotten kenalog. Like most of you my dermatologist told me there were virtually no side effects from it. My period also lasted forever when I received kenalog shots. I discussed this with my dr. and he said it could be from the kenalog. I was given a shot every 2 weeks for a couple of years. One day I had a bandaide on my arm and when I took it off I had a bruise. I showed my dermatologist and his comment was "Oh I guess your skin's getting quite thin." Which is a side effect he never told me about. Later this dr. was off for a while and I went to another while he was out. This dermatologist told me that kenalog is not good for the body, it works on everything your eyes,bones, veins to name a few. He told me it thins your bones and blood vessels. I couldn't beleive that the other dr. told me there were no side effects. I also noticed after getting the shots I had a hard time breathing but was told it should help me breath easier. I think I have a lot of problems from receiving those shots. That's why I thought I would researdh the new shot (Endrel) they want to give me before I receive it this time.

i recieved 3 kenalog epidural injections for herniated disc, 2 weeks apart, followed by a decompression nucleoplasty, also with Kenalog injection. after the first epidual. i began having extreme irritablity which i reported to the pain management doc. he said he couldn't prescribe anything but could refer me to a psychologist, which i declined , realizing i was having a reaction to something. after the 3rd epidural, my irritabilty had increased to the point where i was shouting and screaming, and had completely lost my patience. my face had blown up, and cheeks were hard to the touch, and my neck skin was swollen and hanging down. i described my appearance as "looking like a blowfish".

on the day of the nucleoplasty, i agreed that the doc should go ahead and use it again, since it was important for the procedure, and it was not a "true (anaphalctic) type reaction.

after this last injection of Kenalog, i had a terrible terrible reaction. my face became even larger, with big dark circles under my eyes, and my eyes partially closed, appeared like slits. i was frightened by my reflection in the mirror.

my feet, ankles and legs swelled up to the point where it was painful and difficult to walk.

i also i developed insomnia.

at the same time i was "off the wall" with irritability, anger, impatience, and could not stop crying.

during the day i had a general ill and sleepy feeling, and fell asleep driving, without notice.

throughout this period of Kenalog adminstration, i also had flu like symptoms every morning. sore throat, laryngitis, loose cough, muscle pains. i noticed black and blue marks on my extremities as well.

now i have a full blown flu and full blown bronchitis, and i feel so very very ill.

my feet and calves, hands and fingers are experiencing very painful cramping, intermittantly throughout the day and night. it's happening right now in my left hand, so i have to stop typing. i wait for one minute and try to continue typing, but that causes the painful spasm to return. i try again 2 more times, waiting a minute in between spasms. finally it stops and i can continue typing.

there are probably more symptoms, like the irregular heart beat, and these little bumps on the skin of my right cheek, but i need to rest now.

generally, i feel sicker probably than i can ever recall feeling in my life.

would appreciate hearing from anyone with similar symptoms, and especially how long before my face returns to normal. i live with the fear of what will i do if it does not?

I received a kenalog shot for my psorisis today. about 2 hours later my leftside of my mouth became swollen. and all my bones hurt.

I was recently given kenalog injections for carpal tunnel syndrom. I had two shots at two different visits to my dr.
I have had great relief from the symptoms of carpal tunneland an unexpected side effect... it cleared up my psorisis. Has anyone heard of using these injestions for treating psorsis?? I have a sever case and it has cleared it up.Lasting for a month after the last shot. Any feed back would be appreciated.
