My husband had had seasonal allergies, in Spring and Fall, that were almost debilitating. He has tried every oral allergy medicine out there. He was considering allergy testing and shots. We spoke to our doctor about it and he said that since we may be relocating in a year, or so, that he would most likely have to get a new series of shots for the new area where we'll live. He suggested the Kenalog shot. My husband got it that day, in late September, and has not had any adverse reactions. His allergy symptoms went away within hours and stayed gone all season. Now it is Spring again, and his allergies are back with full force. He has an appointment to get another Kenalog shot next week, and I'm glad he does!

Has anyone out there had an increase in urination? I started Yaz in Feb. and since then I've been peeing like a race horse. My OBY said it was probably an overactive bladder, typical for a peri-menopausal woman. I had tests for bladder infections and they read negative. I was in the middle of relocating my family across many miles and I just put up with the symptoms. Now I find out there is microscopic blood in my urine and I am scheduled for a slew of tests probing for tumors, cancers, polyps, etc. in my bladder and kidneys. My Dad had bladder cancer so I'm pretty scared. However, I am starting to wonder if there is a Yaz connection. I hate the thought of returning to periods where I couldn't leave the house because I was bleeding so much but all the risks here are scaring me. I don't have an OBY here yet but assuming I am not harboring cancer or an other disease (i.e., kidney stones) I think I'll go off Yaz. I already have horrible migraines and acne so I'm wondering if it will all get worse. My headaches are the same (2-3 times a month) with Yaz and my skin is better. It's been pretty good for water weight but as I said, I am in the bathroom way too much.
