Hi everyone,
This is not a very important question in the grand scheme of ME/CFS, but I've been debating what to do for a year now... Does anyone use Nasonex or Flonase and do you think it causes you to catch more viruses?
I don't really need a steroid nasal spray during the day ~ until I got a cpap machine and am using nasal pillows. My swollen sinuses/congestion at night is enough to make using the cpap nasal mask difficult. The doc gave me Nasonex but I've been too nervous to use it because of the steroid effect in my nose ~ the first line of defense against colds!
BTW, I haven't had a cold/flu/bronchitis ~ anything! ~ since 3 months before coming down with M.E. (that's 2 years in July), so my fear of THE DAY I CATCH A COLD has grown to epic proportions.
Thanks for the advice!
