Received 10 mg Kenalog with 20 mg Lidocaine on 10/12/06 for poison ivy. Partner to my own doctor didn't even have my chart until I suggested it. Poison ivy gone, but because of suppressed immune system from the 'cortisone' aka Kenalog, I have serious viral infection called para-influena upper respiratory infection. Kind immunology specialist I've seen for 23 years, says I'm to do NOTHING for at least 7 to 10 days to get over virus. Now, 11/17/06, day 12 of being sick, I still feel made of cement, and I'm thinking I might feel 'normal' again by Christmas. Also, cortisone shots increase emotional responses to life. Noreen
