Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2004Nasonex causes T?
I'm an allergy sufferer and I've been using Nasonex with excellent results for the last two years or so. But recently (last few weeks) my T, that previously was pretty quiet, has gotten quite a bit louder some nights. I discontinued Nasonex for a few days and the T seemed to diminish back to "normal" levels, but I had to go back on the Nasonex real quick since I started locking up completely (as I tend to do this time of year). Nasonex is an inhaled cortico-steroid I believe. Does anyone know anything about it potentially causing or exacerbating T? > I'm an allergy sufferer and I've been using Nasonex with excellent results > for the last two years or so. But recently (last few weeks) my T, that > previously was pretty quiet, has gotten quite a bit louder some nights. Think about it. You've taking Nasonex for two years with no effect on T till now. I bet it's not Nasonex but something else. I use Nasonex, with no negative effects on tinnitus. Brad Yes, my test with Asteline (having stopped Nasonex usage about 3-4 days ago) does not seem to be producing the difference I'd hoped for. I'll go back to Nasonex in a few days once it's for sure that it wasn't causing this. What do you guys account for as causing tinittus to get worse? I have two items that may be involved. One is that I've been out of work for almost a full year (lucky me was in IT in a telecom company) so there's some major stress there, and the second is that a friend of mine who used to fire guns without hearing protection when young went into great detail about his tiniitus and I think that may have made me more aware of mine. > I use Nasonex, with no negative effects on tinnitus. > > Brad >What do you guys account for as causing tinittus to get worse? ............................................. Stress, fatigue, (that time of month when applicable), colds, naps, driving or spending alot of time in a car (road noise), excessive noise (hearing 2/3 things going on at once). - jean Mineral unbalance according to some. > Yes, my test with Asteline (having stopped Nasonex usage about 3-4 days ago) > does not seem to be producing the difference I'd hoped for.

I know of no cases or mechanism where Nasonex could cause T or make it worse. But out of curiosity, you might try one of the other cortisone sprays such as Flonase or Rhinocort Aqua to see if that does the same thing. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com I'm trying Asteline now to see if it makes any difference. > I know of no cases or mechanism where Nasonex could cause T or make it worse. > But out of curiosity, you might try one of the other cortisone sprays such as > Flonase or Rhinocort Aqua to see if that does the same thing. > Murray Grossan, M.D. > http://www.ent-consult.com >I'm trying Asteline now to see if it makes any difference. If you have allergies, rhinitis and/or sinusitis, Astelin can't be beat, and none of the opportunstic yeast or immunosuppression of steroid sprays. You may have a yicky taste in your mouth for a while though. Susan > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Susan You're right about that! That stuff is horrid, but it DOES seem to work about as well as Nasonex. Only downside if having to take it twice a day instead of once like Nasonex. >> x-no-archive: yes >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >about as well as Nasonex. Only downside if having to take it twice a day >instead of once like Nasonex. Rhinocort AQ is a once a day thing. Astelin you can get past the taste if you really get your head between your knees when taking it and then lemonade or something tart seems to wipe some of the flavor away if you get it on your tongue. That stuff sticks with you all day if you get any on the tongue. Terri http://pub219.ezboard.com/btinnitusactivismandsupport I actually put some weight on that conversation thing. I have had several patients who developed tinnitus ONLY after talking abou a friend's tinnitus, or one fellow who watched a tv show on it one evening and over the next 24 hours, developed a serious case. Coincidence? I wonder. When we raise our consciousness about something physiologic, we can certainly amplify it, whether it be pain or whatever. MJ >You're right about that!

The taste thing went away after the first couple of months or so. It's much better at preventing sinus infections and sinus induced migraines for me. Steroid inhalers didn't help nearly as much.
