I ain't sure about those side effects of Kenalog, especially of affecting blood thyroid level because you rely only on thyroxine supplement and there is no interaction between levothyroxine and systemic steroids by my knowledge. However, anxiety and fluctuated blood pressure are probably related. Anxiety needs to be controlled with cognitive behavior +/- drug therapy for stabilizing BP. Take care.
