This post is directed to anyone who has contacted me regarding a possible class action lawsuit, which I was trying to initiate, as stated in my Oct 17th, 2008 post. After contacting as many as 10 law firms, from NY to San Francisco, I have virtually "thrown in the towel". In essence, what they are saying is, this will be too expensive to litigate. The pharmaceutical companies have "teams" of lawyers, and I believe they are reluctant to go up against them. I find it diabolical that this drug Kenalog is causing so much suffering, some emotional, some esthetic and some, like myself, sheer physical pain...but nothing can be done about it. For all of you who have emailed me and I was unable to return your ems, I apologize....but I have been waiting to hear something positive feedback to relay. Unfortunately, that was not the case. If anything does develop I have stored your information and will get back to you. I would hope you would do the same.

I do wish there was a way to see the makers of Kenalog. I got this shot back in 2007 for a plugged nose. I was never told it was A STEROID!! This practioner is no longer around here. The Secretary at this off told me that I knew what i was getting, I HAD NO IDEA. Only told it was an allergy shot. I went from having a normal period for 35 years to now having a partial hysterectomy in a month. My hormones and body have not been the same since. Depression, not myself, you name it, I have been in and out of ER's! Anways, to make a long story short, I finally have a Dr. who is listening and I can get some help

I received my first shot on Kenalog three weeks ago, for a bulging disc in L5, and it took me from a 8 out of 10 pain scale, to a 2. After two weeks , I received my second shot, and now I feel about 98% better. As an added bonus, my Psoriasis of 15 years, that no Doctor could seem to control, has all but disappeared! Also a severe pain in my r/foot under 2nd tow area, has completely gone away, after 10 years of misery! I also am seeing my two toenails, and one fingernail restoring themselves to normal again(the nails had fallen off years ago, like a fungus, but it was not fungus). My dermatologist told me it had no cure and that I would have to deal with it! Kenalog benefits have FAR outweighed the negative effects so far... I have lost about 5lbs in 3 weeks, and anxiety is a mild issue, as is mild night sweats, but for me, this is a small price to pay for pain relief that was making my life miserable!

I was actually told that I would need to sue the physician/office that administered the shot because I was not informed of the side effects.

I was injected June of 2009. I have had most of the side effects, the worst being the pain in my hip and the huge dent from the destruction of the cells. I can't believe attorneys are not willing to take on this suit. Brenda in Florida
