"My menstruation is totally out of control while on Kenalog injections (for psoriasis). It’s heavy as last 7-10 days vs 4-5 light days when I’m not on Kenalog. I was on it for a 6-month period, having injections every 4 weeks. 'Til I couldn’t take the heavy cycle and my hemoglobin dropped to 7. Last month, I got back on the Kenalog because the psoriasis was so bad and inflamed. Now, the second set of injections this month, my cycle is heavy already. Not sure what to do. I’m very disappointed."

"Kenalog has changed my life. I have hand psoriasis and for years tried every topical prescription steroid and treatment out there, to no avail. The very first time I had a few Kenalog injections in my hand, the skin cracks healed, the plaques thinned, and my hands were normal again. Miraculous. In addition, I had severe hip bursitis, and Kenalog allowed me to continue walking up and down the 15 stairs in my home without issue. After a few months, it needs to be reinjected, but it's an absolute life changer for me."

"I love this drug, Kenalog-40. My entire body hurt, my joints hurt all over my body. This drug is a miracle, but not without side effects. You will get a round face, but it’s not awful. I did develop a bit of a hump on my back, but that will go away. I can’t take another one for about 2 months, but I wish I could now."

"My dermatologist gives me tiny injections under the skin on each plaque. My hands can get really bad. Usually by the next day or two, they are gone. It lasts quite a while. I also get injections of Kenalog plus a numbing agent for severe muscle spasms from fibromyalgia. The pain management doctor injects the muscles where the spasms are. By the next day, I'm 90% better. Usually, I only have to get these a few times a year. So Kenalog works really well for me."
