Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Dear Esther, Kenalog is the brand name for triamcinolone acetonide and is made by Squibb. It is one of the many names for steroids. Some are made into creams, some ointments and some are injections. They are used to dry up rashes in cream form. Sometimes you get Prednisonetablets to take orally when you have a rash or hives or even asthma Another use is for acne. Kenalog is a liquid that the doctor gives me as an injection and it is for inflammation caused by arthritis and fibromyalgia. I'm sure there are other uses for it, such as anti-rejection drugs. It is not a drug you want to take for long term use, you are to be weaned off it gradually. . My doctor is very conservative and does not prescribe anything in large doses. He spreads them out over a period of 3 months. Of course it wears off before the 3-month period is up, but I have to bite the bullet. This is a good site to go to if you want to learn more about it so you can talk to your doctor about it. http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/cortisone-shots-1349.html. I do not like to go to pain clinics, as I think they tend to overdose you. When that happens, I feel like I am wired. I have too much energy and I can't sleep. Beware, Ester, there is a limit to the amount of cortisone given in one dose, even if injected in several areas of the body; this varies depending on the size and physical condition of the person. This information is dated recently, so I would put more credence to anything with a current date. Last Updated: 03/24/2008 Good luck, I hope you can get some relief from your pain. Blessings and peace, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 -Hi Lottie, thanks for the info i sometimes take the prednisone medrol pack 3 to 4 times a year and that helps .I thought the Kenalog cream sounded familiar because i've used that for rashes,i just never heard of injections thanks again.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 That explanation makes it so plain why, when I was given compounded hydrocortisone... I got so ill. My fever went to 102 and would not abate until I got off the hydrocortisone. I had a sore throast and swollen glands that would not quit either... until I stopped everything on my own. So it would be asperigillosis that was growing?? Or could other things be growing too???

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 long before I knew anything about toxic mold exposure I was given a shot of kenalog for urticaria, at the time I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Im not sure if I'd try it again, not now anyway. > > That explanation makes it so plain why, when I was given compounded hydrocortisone... I got so ill.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Derm just puts shallow small injections around lesions that have not been unable to heal, one area at a time. He's very conservative with it but I was thinking of inquiring about oral since it seems to be working so well but will just do it this slow way instead. > > long before I knew anything about toxic mold exposure I was given a shot of kenalog for urticaria, at the time I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 You can find the answer to your question on my web site and the paper I published on the biocontaminants present in WDB. Corticosteroids (2 weeks or more of use) stop the killing function of macrophages. Thus, the condition could be Aspergillus and/or bacterial (Gram negative and positive bacteria). Since you had a high fever, I suspect bacteria. [] Re: Kenalog That explanation makes it so plain why, when I was given compounded hydrocortisone... I got so ill.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 It only took 7 days for the reaction to the hydrocortisone to happen. I started on Christmas Day and by New Years Day I was in bed sick sick sick.......Nothing would even touch it ( such as echinacea etc etc) I then spent 7 straight days in bed. It took over three weeks to recover from that episode of just being able to get out of bed after the hydrocortisone. Thank-you, Jack. I will check this information out. Are you saying that the exposure that made me sick discontinued the macrophage action which caused me to get sick?
