Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I use nasal sprays, prescription for myself. I have chronic sinusitis. Keeping the allergens down that I breathe in keeps the inflammation down in the my nasal passageways, which allows me to breathe better through my nose and not through my mouth which leads to more infections. Mucous from the nose might be a little bit blood tinged at first, but that goes away. No side effects at all for me. They've worked well for me. [ ] Nasonex Hi, Can anyone tell me if Nasonex is relatively safe? My son's having an awful time breathing at night and his regular doctor prescribed Nasonex and Singulair, saying addressing his allergies will help him breathe better. I know they are drugs and I don't want to use them, but my husband is insisting we have to do something drastic. Is there any reason not use these? I've read the possible side effects on Nasonex and they don't look good, but just wondering if others have used it with good results. Thank you, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 My only concern with Nasonex is that if I use it everyday, I start to get nose bleeds. When I do have allergy issues, I use it every other day. But I have very few allergy symptoms since being on LDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hi Stefano and others. What exactly is nasonex? Do we have an equivalent in the UK? Is it a steroid nose drops/spray? The side effects sounds pretty awful.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I use Flixonase. Have done for 10 years now. Is that supposed to have nasty side-effects?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yeah Becky I used it in the UK for a few years, exactly the same stuff. Anyway I need it like my hands but haven´t had any now for a week. Will see how long that lasts but ideally because of costs i would like to use something natural, cleaning my nose out with salt, water and bicarb for now and may add some honey drops for the sake of it.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I’ve been using Nasonex now for many years and it’s helped me so much. My sense of smell returns when I’m on it – have to admit though there are times when I’ve missed using it and that’s when I notice my SOS goes again. The only side affects I experienced was that on the first week I’d sometimes get headaches but not severe ones. After that initial period there aren’t any problems.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Just curious if any of you who like Nasonex have also tried Rhinocort at some time in the past. I have been on Rhinocort for a while now, just started irrigating with saline with a Pulmicort respule mixed in. I have days where my right side is completely blocked from polyps and my nose drips all day long. If things don't get better soon I might be considering surgery next year. I'm wondering if Nasonex is a better choice than Rhinocort. Thanks for any info you can share. > > I've been using Nasonex now for many years and it's helped me so much.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I also have been on Rhinocort.Rhinocort(2000-2003)->Flixonase(2004-2007)->Nasonex. Rhinocort hasn't help me so much but depends on how you feel, but I can attest that Nasonex was a better choice for me comparing to Rhinocort and Flixonase. I've had all sorts of symptoms from both of them, nausea, bad taste in my mouth, tachicardya and the polyps growth wasn't controlled and I had to have surgery once a year.You could try Nasonex and see if it is better suited for you.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I like Nasonex. It worked better than Flonase for me. Never used Rhinocort.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nasonex is a corticosteroid. 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 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jen, With my girl there are no obvious triggers. The only definite reaction I have seen, is her reflux and we took away milk and it has reduced tremendously. She never has any nasal congestion and is one of those kids who never gets sick. She has not had a fever in 5yrs+. With that said though her immune system is out of wack. Her NK cells are low and her Mature T cells are high. Weird. In the process of making an appt. w/ Dr. and recruit local doc's to use the protocol. The local doc's like to stay in their safety box Soooo, I can only hope I am not wasting my breath!  Petra From: <jlhank80@...> Subject: Re: Nasonex Date: Friday, March 11, 2011, 5:41 AM  Petra, my daughter absolutely has behavioral problems from allergies.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Petra, your doing the right thing! My daughter didn't have any obvious triggers until after we started antiviral meds. It seemed to clear up the very murky waters of inflammation for her. So the better she got, the clearer it was to see what was causing problems. We also had to take things a bit further and do an immunotherapy treatment for " allergies " because everything seemed to cause what seemed to be mini-cytokine storms and resulted in ADHD and Sickness Behaviors. Not every child needs this, mine did and it was a life-changing thing for us. Its complicated... The Low NK cells are a classic sign of immune dysfunction in both Autism and CFS. I look forward to hearing how things go for you and your daughter!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Tammy, From my understanding these nasal steroids are different from regular steroids since you use so little and it goes right to the infected area rather than through the bloodstream. When I was pregnant I was told it is okay to use this during pregnancy because it is so mild. Has been a life saver for both me and . I used to get sinus infections every month when I got my period and my immune system was down. Haven't had one for almost twenty years. Best, Marcia P.S We use Beconase one of the older ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
