please remember that it is no longer the FDA's job to protect the people of this country. it is their sole duty to make sure that drug companies have as easy a time as possible and make as much money as they can while ruining your life. even now a drug company is asking the supreme court to forbid us from suing them when we are sickened, maimed or killed because of poisons that they rushed through approval with bogus science, got the FDA's "blessing" and bribed our doctors into rashlyy prescribing them.
our only hope, and it comes in the knick of time, is that we may now have a sane intelligent president
but i agree- FLOOD MED-WATCH WITH COMPLAINTS. OVERWHELM THEIR SYSTEM. it's the only way they'll get it.
i ask you, if you had it to do over, couldn't you have lived with the itch for a while and used good old calamine lotion? but i guarentee you that your doctor got a free lunch, a bunch of pens and god knows what else which is why he gave you this drug instead choosing a cheaper, less harmful alternative
I had gotten the Kenalog shot in September, 2008 for allergies. After getting out of the shower and putting on lotion just the other day, I noticed a considerably large indent in my left bicep! It is slightly tender, more like a sting feeling but it is very ugly and I am very concious of my body. I also have felt sever fatigue, blurred vision, major headaches, and depression. I did not know what was causing my body to be so out of wack but now I strongly feel it is the side effects of the Kenanlog! I feel like I will never be able to wear short sleeves again! I. also, was never informed of any side effects this shot would cause, someone needs to be held responsible for what it is doing to peoples bodies!
My 6 yr old child was injected with this stuff for a breathing problem. After four months it has left a huge indent in his left butt cheek. Nothing was ever discuss with us before the injection and now my child is a permanent large dent and he is only 6. DO NOT TAKE THIS STUFF!!
I will be reporting it to the FDA and others.
About 5 months after receiving this shot I noticed an indent on my top right buttock as well. I am very concerned about this issue and will be filling out the FDA form. I am 20 years old and was given the shot because I was very sick with swollen glands, sinus infection, and swollen tonsils. I was never warned about what this shot was going to do to me. If I knew, I would have never agreed to having the shot. They were putting me on the steriod pack as well as giving me the shot which was a lot of steriods to be giving to me in the first place. I hope that something is done about this.
I had a second shot of Kenalog admistered by my pulmonologist for my asthma treatment, one was admistered in the top of my buttocks in 2006 and the last one May 2008. I am 24 years old and have never had any operations or have any scars in my body. I suddenly noticed a large indentation on the top of my buttocks, which is the same side where my injections were administered. Now I have read all this information and realize what caused it and that it will not go away. I called my doctors office to advise them of what happened and how I was not warned of the side effects to this medication. I am very upset for the disfigurement and want to know what the FDA is going to do about this drug.
I just have to say thank you for positing the information about the kenalog shot because before I found this website and everyone's resopnses I was so upset. I am now doing more research and will continue my mission to get this drug off the market.
