I've been suffering from hair loss and on my 2nd visit with the dermatologist he gave me 10 shots of that kenalog crap in my scalp. When the doctor came in the room he said I'm going to give you several shots in your scalp and I said what kind of shots and what are the side affects. His answer was there are a few side affects like headaches and etc., but no major side affects you're in good health you'll be fine. I've been having severe headaches, vomiting, losing more hair then I did before I received the injections and diarrhea. I cannot sleep at night and my whole body is severely sore. If I sit longer than 10 minutes when I get up I feel pain all over my body. I feel like an older person. I trusted this punk and I can't believe that he would violate me like this. My body has not been normal for the last 3-4 days. I don't feel like myself. After reading about the indentations, I'm hoping I don't get one on my head where he put the injections. Sheeeez! Unbelievable.

i ven suffering from hair loss to myself. its has been im thinking almost 2 years.. something like that. the first time i went to the doctor was in october and the only different was the injection was in my butt. i had a total of 3 shots from october till december. the doctor told me it would reverse the cyle and hair will not fall out and regrow again. well its feb now and my hair is still falling out and im concerned. i ve called the office and the lady told me that i have to wait 3 months after the last shot for it to be affective and for my hair to grow back. after 3 shots the hair loss should decrease but doesnt make sense that its still falling out. on the last visit the doc suggested rogaine and i really think that he pulled that idea right out of his butt not knowing anything about that product. i did some research and called the company. rogaine mainly work on the frontal area and back area of the head. stressing out about this probably not helping the problem. its hard to not considering im only 21 yrs old and im already experiencing hair loss.
