Rhinitis: With sjorgen's syndrome, and nose bleeds when using nasal steroids, you need to moisturize your nasal passages well before using the steroid spray, in sjorgen's the mucus membranes are dry, so use saline nasal wash liberally before using the spray, use it right with the nozzle straight in your nose slightly directed towards your ear not towards your eye, away from the septum to avoid nose bleeds
