Ladies - I am 41 yr old female. Took kenalog 1-2x yrly between 16 and 22 yrs old for extreme hayfever. Yes, it was a miracle, but I did experience non-stop bleeding. (about 9 months worth - spotting) Noticed that this happened if I got the shot while on my period. When I received a shot when NOT on my period, I skipped several at times. Now, I have a herniated disk (L5-S1) - and what a total miracle this was. I was in excruciating pain for 2 months, got a shot and within days the pain was gone - except for little "reminders". This shot was an epidural (directly in my spine) SCARY stuff, however, I'm not a big fan of surgery. Anyway, the first shot, I was just finishing my period and it went on for 2 weeks longer. This shot, I am mid-cycle, so we'll see what happens. As far as other side effects, after a shot, about 2-3 days later, I am very tense & irritable, quick tempered, but that fades. My appetite wanes and I get supercharged - get a lot done, but I think I re-injured my back because I was feeling so good! Does anyone have a problem with ears ringing constantly????? I'm wondering if this is a side effect as well.
