Triamcinolone for Inflammatory Conditions "To all the people who have had one injection and love being pain-free, BEWARE. I have permanent damage from the injections and will take the pain over the awful side effects. It’s a roller coaster. The more injections, the more permanent damage. I have permanent indentations in both buttocks that affect my sitting, injection site burns, itches, hurts, and it’s been six months since the last one, sweat constantly, sleep is rare, NEVER AGAIN. They hook you on the feel-good for a while and damage you more over time."

Triamcinolone for Rheumatoid Arthritis "I went to the doctor and told her my left arm was starting to freeze up like the right one did. I have RA for 15 years. The next morning, I thought a miracle had taken place. Never felt so good for so many years. Went to Costa Rica, and after about two months, it returned. Came home and after searching for the drug. They had it at the hospital. Took it to my doctor, and he gave it to me in my right hip. Didn't last but about one month. Next time he gave it to me in my left hip, and it maybe lasted three weeks. The next time I asked him to give it where my other doctor in Panama City Beach, FL, gave it to me. In my left arm, and it is still lasting. Also noticed how my complexion cleared up. I have rosacea. Once it got in my eyes. You need to get it from a hospital drugstore."

For Lichen Sclerosus "I have been using this for a few years now, with good luck. It's not a miracle, however, when I start to hurt, burn, or itch, I can apply this for a night or two depending on how bad it is, and it relieves my symptoms, which is a huge relief! It doesn't seem to do anything to stop the deterioration, however, I guess I am not sure if anything will actually help with that. That being said, I would highly recommend this product. I have had very good results, and it seems to work very quickly for me."

For Dermatitis "This cream is fabulous. I used it in combination with Cetaphil lotion, and it soothed my skin and lessened the itching. My skin didn't look as inflamed/raised as before."
