I receive Kenalog shots at my dermatologist's office every 3 or 4 months. My problem areas are my elbows, and the shots have worked wonders for me. I have had some minor side effects, such as some discolouration at the injection site (almost like the skin won't tan.. a bit lighter than the rest of my skin). And at times if I lean on my elbows it almost feels like they are bruised, minor soreness. Either way the treatments have been quite successful. The plaques will start to slowly come back at around 3 months. But they don't get the chance to progress back to what they once were. I live in Canada, healthcare is free here. My derm uses his own kenalog in his office, but I had it done by my gp and he had me pick up a script for the drug, which I would have had to pay for if I did not have prescription coverage. I am not sure what the cost would have been. Anyways, good luck with the psoriasis. I am not sure why more people haven't used the kenalog, it has been the only thing to really help with my psoriasis.

Some drugs like that could leave you open for major infections. They might also do more harm than good.
You didn't mention if it came back and how long it lasted.
I do believe that the pharmaceutical industry makes more money by torturing people. What incentive do they have to cure a disease that makes the industry billions of dollars?
