Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I do usually avoid any steroid like the plague, except for basically topical steroids. But with nasonex, this is the one area where it helps us a lot, because not enough is being absorbed into our systems to negatively impact, and since the majority of sinus problems are inflammation, and that inflammation is what leads into infection (which is worse), this is the one place where I'm willing to use them, and have only seen benefits. I don't believe in using the inhaled ones (except in a crisis), and certainly wouldn't take a shot or an oral one unless my life literally depended on it (and I'd probably run that by Dr or Dr G first - hang on - I know I'm dying, but I gotta ask my dr first 'cause he's the only one I trust). So I really take the concerns on the steroids very seriously like you do. But I don't believe this falls under that risk. But if you can't tolerate the idea, veramist is a good one for us too. We choose our nasal sprays based on whether they have a taste, because there's no earthly way to get it up their nostrils if they refuse to taste and smell it.

I stay away from steroids.Especially near the brain. My Lyme doctor said that her patients that have used steroids,do not get well, unlike the ones that have not used steroids they do get well. My son used nasonex for years and it was the only thing that gave him relief,but I wonder now if that is one big reason he won't get over his Lyme.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have an on going prescription for Nasonex for my boys. It does help, but can make stuffiness worse if you arent using it exactly as the instructions state. Also, as far as the person talking about the change in behavior when allergens are present, I agree completely. I have been fighting this problem for years. Benadryl helps immediately, but it causes drowsiness so doesnt work well for school. After being exposed to an allergen, food or otherwise, his temper flares and becomes unmanageable. I give him benadryl and with in 30 minutes he is back to normal. But in order to see the true child, you must have a strict behavior plan in place. We use 1-2-3 Magic. It works beautifully and keeps you from getting angry too. I rec'd it to anyone who has children, but also those who have children with more extreme issues. It really helps them and you, separate the real issue from the behavior. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
