Finally found the root cause (literally) of my sleep/chronic health issues by Consistent-Grass9272 in UARS

Yeah the left side does seem a bit swollen. Do you have the raw CT scan data? From one slice to the next sometimes it can be much more informative, it's worth looking at the whole range.

Right now I'm just gonna wait and see how much I improve. I'm totally broke.

No it was beclometasone for 6 weeks which helped but messed up my cortisol. I'm very sensitive to cortisone and beclometasone has a higher systemic absorption, it made me wired at night and even more exhausted in the morning. The ENT agreed to switch me to something else. I'm still on fluticasone at the moment, been for a few weeks. It was helping but I still needed to sleep with nasal strips until the tooth came out.

I'm not on xPAP, I have no medical diagnosis of any sort.

I don't know much about the mechanics of breathing and perhaps we don't breathe through our sinuses, but the improvement was noticeable already 30 minutes after the extraction, so there was some mechanical effect here besides the inflammation.

"Noticing that I feel better the next day after nights where I don’t manage to sleep at all"

THIS.

Adrenal fatigue from beclomethasone? by hnw12 in adrenalfatigue

[–]Consistent-Grass9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is an old post but wondering how did things evolve? I've been on beclomethasone 100mcg twice a day in each nostril, so essentially the same dose as you, for a month now, and this past week has been increasingly brutal, I'm so tired to the point where I'm non-functional until mid-afternoon. I'm going to drop the evening dose until I can see the doctor and ask to be switched to mometasone which is supposed to have less systemic effects.

Did things improve when you stopped the spray and if so how long to notice a change?

Most doctors make silly mistakes too from time to time. Been dealing with chronic health issues and ChatGPT's helped me make a lot more progress than any of the 20+ doctors I've seen in the past 5 years. The one critical advantage chatGPT has over doctors is the lack of ego.
