I received shots into the bald spots in my scalp (very low doeses) due to alopecia areata. Immediately upon reciving the shots, perhaps 15 of them in all. I immediately felt slightly nauseous and became very pale and felt chilled and very drowsy. This sickish feeling lasted a few days but was felt most intensly the first day or two. The second time I had the shots, this time perhaps only 10 shots, I became very very dizzy, saw spots in front of my eyes and again became very pale and felt chilled and drowsy. The dizziness lasted about 3 hours and was scary. The sick feeling lasted a day or two or so again, getting better slowly. I have had periodic shots into acne with no ill effects other than at times an indentation which reversed itself in 6 months or so. The good news is that follwing the kenalog injections my hair began to grow back in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately due to my reaction the doctor will not give me the shots again. Has anyone ev er had these reactions?
