[QUOTE="DxHypo, post: 34123, member: 6088"] Anybody with chronic allergies and/or sinus issues have any anecdotal stories on corticosteroid or glucocorticoid sprays causing mild or pseudo-Cushing's symptoms with long-term use? I've read some things saying it's possible if not likely to affect cortisol levels. I've been experiencing symptoms like difficulty staying asleep, waking up anywhere from 2 to 3 a.m., some fat gain around back of neck (although not necessarily a "buffalo hump", easy weight gain around the midsection, and rounded face somewhat, I've never had cortisol labs pulled. My other hormones including testosterone are within typical ranges and my trt protocol hasn't varied although my last estradiol sensitive was at 40 Labcorp due to some aromatization from supplementing with oral Dhea to bump it from low normal to a little higher. I wouldn't have thought nasal sprays would raise cortisol much but I'm a chronic long term user of Astelin in particular and Flonase. [/QUOTE]
