Anyone else on Pulmicort and Omnairis

Hi - I have been taking omnair (aka omnairis - active ingredient = Ciclesonide) for a few years. Earlier this year I had insane sinus issues and my GP recommended pulmicort turbohaler which gave faster relief than I expected.

Since taking pulmicort I have had fleeting moments of being 100% - although I feel like I am nearly 100% most of the time. My symptoms seem to change every few weeks and generally I feel like I almost fine, but just not well enough to go for a jog.

A few weeks ago I felt right as rain for a few days but since then it feels like when I wake up my breathing is clear and fine but then I seem to get clogged up (rhinitis-ish) after using the omnair.

Anyone have similar experiences with either or both of these meds?
