I live in the UK and receive an annual kennalog injection for hayfever. Described as using a giant hammer to crack a nut! my first injection was about 10 years ago and the effect was absolutely amazing, my hayfever cleared up instantly. During the first few years the only side effects i noticed were increased agression ( i am normally calm !! ), really bad headaches and the increased number of bugs/colds due to my immunity system being broken down. What i did notice is after a few years the injection has a lesser effect, it still works wonders but not as good as the first few times. Last year i had a massive bust up with my doc as he refused to give it to me. I cannot do my job with hayfever so eventually he gave it to me on the condition i signed a disclaimer as it is no longer recommended for hayfever. I usually dismiss all normal hayfever tablets but this year I have decided take docs advice and am using tablets first before i go back begging for my injection. The tablets i am using are called Neoclarityn and are only available over the counter. Into June and all is ok so far apart from a bit of asthma. Anyone else using anything else other than kenalog for hayfever?? ******

I have been prescribed kenalog for my hayfever for the last two years. Ionly get hayfever from rapeseed and the first year I had the injection it worked instantly. In the past I have tried literally every hayfever remedy availible from the doctor and pharmacy but for the first time something worked. After the first innoculation my side effects included all my joints now "click" and it seems to have afected my moods also I am aware tha the manufactutrrs will disclaim anything to do with Kenalog affecting joints but I have alwayds been healthy. Last year when I went for my second jab and informed the GP that my joints were clicking all the time he said he didnt recommend the jab and would rather I return to other medications. This year I am determined not to use the jab and hopefully my joint noise will clear up. Hope this helps
