I received a shot on the 21st of march and was told by my dr that the side effects were minimal and I have now been on my period for 18 days straight called my dr and they said thats not normal call your ob dr. Now that I have found this web site I see that I am not the only one who has had this problem. I have always thought it was a dr responsibility to worn you about side effects like this but I guess NOT. And to top it all off the shot didn't even work for me I am stili in alot of pain in my back. THIS SUCKS

Thank God I found this! I thought I was going crazy. I got a Kenalog injection 4 weeks ago. Almost immediately I felt dizzy and loopy. By that evening I started to get so dizzy I was blacking out. 2 days later I started my period unexpectedly. I didn't make the connection that it was related to the shot. I got the shot to help my allergies and the sinus inflamation. With in a week, my allergies had gotten much worse. I couldn't stop sneezing and coughing. I started to have trouble sleeping. Then I started to have trouble breathing. I had to start using my ashma inhaler, which I hadn't used in over a year. By the end of the 2nd week, beginning of the third I was still having my period, and had started to develop hives/rash on my chest. Into the third week, the rash had spread, I had stopped sleeping at night, and was so sick, I was having trouble functioning. I called my doctor, and he said it was nothing, I probably picked up a cold with my allergies, and any minute I should start feeling better. Now 4 weeks later, I started to put 2 and 2 together and realized all this started when I got the kenalog shot. I am still having my period. 4 weeks of hard bleeding is starting to take a serious toll. I still can't breath and I still can't sleep. The rash/hives have spread all over my chest and arms and are getting close to my gface. My sick is hyper sensitive and feels like it is burning. I can't get a straight answer from any of the doctors, who keep saying "it can't be the shot, that shot works miracles". Well this is no miracle. If you have any ideas or help on how to stop these side effects PLEASE let me know fast!!!!

I went to my GP and she administered a Kenalog shot to try up this outbreak.....anyway, how long before I get a crator on my ass?
