I am freaking out!! I just found this site and can't believe what I'm reading. I have a huge crater in my right buttock as well. This is the second time it has happened to me. After the first incident, I went to the doctor and she said she didn't know what it was, that it must have been due to trauma. This is the same doctor who prescribed the Kenalog shot for my allergies. It started out as a large bruise, so I assumed I must have hit something really hard and damaged the tissue. Now, a couple of yrs later, I have another, larger crater. I thought something really bad was wrong with me, so I decided to google and see what I could find. I am truly blown away by this and VERY upset that they did not warn me of this. I called the doctor, but they haven't returned my call yet. I'm concerned is this going to continue to get deeper? I also believe it affected my period as well. I have always been very regular, but for several months after the shot I would start my period every couple of weeks.

I got the Kenalog shot for my allergy attacks. The first time i got the shot was in Mar. 05, i was on my period and it lasted for almost 3 weeks! i was scared because i thought i had some kind of infection even though i wasn't sexually active. Then a week and a half later i get my period again?! After the shot expired i started to get sick again and i couldn't take it anymore so my mother made me an appointment for the shot. This would be my second time getting this injection. I got my shot Aug. 25, 05 and i was less than a week away from getting my period but when the time came for period to come, and it didn't!!! Now im really scared because im sexually active, but taken pregnancy tests and came out negative and, no period yet!!! If this has heppened to anyone else please i would to know what your story is and if you were in the shoes as im in and any other information related to it, Thanks!!!

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?
