I have been using cortico-steroids (both as inhalants and with a nebulizer) for two years now for both COPD and asthma. Other than dry mouth, the most bothersome side effect I have noticed is that my naturally curly (easy-to-care-for) hair has gone terribly straight! (I ALWAYS wanted straight hair while growing up, but now I don't really know how to take care of it or style it and I now have a lot of "bad hair" days!) Has anyone else had the problem of losing the natural curl in their hair from taking medication?

I have taken fluticasone for my sinus infections. It helps me so i can breathe better. But i also have to take an antibiotic in order to get rid of the infection.
