I have suffered from severe hayfever since 1968 when I was 21 and most people and many medical people don't realise how distressing and debilitating it can be. I was prescribed Kenalog when antihistamines failed to work and I have had an annual injection every year since then, with no apparent side effects. Kenalog relieves symptoms by about 90% and is the only treatment which makes life bearable during June (UK). My own doctor now works only 2 days a week and from obtaining the Kenalog yesterday I now have to stay indoors for 5 days before I can have it injected because no other doctors in the Practice are willing to give it. I need to ask him next week what will happen when he retires!
