Yep - I think parent poster is conflating the effects of oral corticosteroid use (which believe me, I know, and they SUCK) with topical usage.

I just spent dug in to this and, wow, I was wrong! Most all the negatives that occur with parenteral and oral routes appear to be absent in the intranasal form. And there is quite a lot of research to back that up.
Thank you for correcting me. And likely sending me down another rabbit hole.
