I did not have 'increased' dry throat or sinuses from Symbicort. I had problems to begin with and still had the same problems after I started using it.

I would understand maybe some throat irritation, but not anything related to the sinuses. You really need to determine if you had this dryness before you started the Symbicort.

Over the years, I have tried Prednisone (both oral and IV), Cellcept, IVIG, and currently still take Plaquenil (first line treatment for AI disease). That said it is still about treating symtpoms...like for my gastroparesis, GERD, and heart related problems from the SjS.
