My 8 year-old son got a Decadron with his Pediatrician because he was presenting symptoms of Croup. He ended in the E..R . with convulsions
the area on his arm was painful to the touch for a week.

Got a Decadron injection for food allergy in right shoulder... burned badly at the time. Arm went "numb" and yet painful to the touch. 8 weeks later still feeling nerve-type sensitivity pain and/burning if pressure is applied!

I got my Decadron injection on Oct 17th. My period came 4 days late on the 25th and it never left. It has now been 3 weeks of bleeding. Has anyone else had similar experience? The side effects list menstrual irregularity, but 3 weeks? It is not showing any sign of slowing down either.

I've seen alot of info on Kenalog and bleeding long and that is a steroid as well.

Has anyone been on long term decadron for hairloss due to elevated androgens from adrena gland? I did not have any visible loss then suddenly after over 2 years on it lost massive amount of hair that is showing all wide parts with change of texture to almost like a spider web, this was sudden and it not better. also headaches and stretch marks are new. I am a mess and wonder now if the drug induced a female pattern alopecia. did not have the loss that looked like that before. was just chronic sheddiing and mild thinning.

Anyone with similar symptoms?
