I had a Kenalog shot about a month ago, due to having more phlegm than even the doctor could believe. My allergies are heinous. However, I felt no relief from the congestion or mucus from the shot. (He also put me on Nasacort, which I've noticed, in my week of use, has improved things slightly.) Anyway, for about a month, I've been feeling exhausted. This remarkable fatigue has been plaguing me. I can't get out of bed, I fall asleep any time I sit still for too long. And I get plenty of sleep. So here I am, on the internet, looking up causes, thinking I could have thyroid problems or cancer. Until my chiropractor mentioned that it might be the shot. So I researched it, and have seen that other people are having fatigue and sleeping problems, as well. Now I think I know the cause. In conclusion, the shot rarely helps anyone and mostly only causes problems. I suggest moving to California for allergies.

I'm kind of worried now....I just got a kenalog shot a few hrs ago for mild hair loss. the dr said there were no side effects. Has anyone else had the shot in the scalp to promote hair growth? What were your experience? I'm wondering if the side effects depend on the injection site. Mine was in the scalp. I notice that most comments on side effects i've read right now were from people who used it for poison ivy or other skin conditions:/
