I am 30 years old and have been on advair 125 for a few years. I've had symptoms for years now and dont recall having them before taking advair. Here are some signs that finally got me to search the web
Co-workers and girlfriend constantly commenting on my shaking legs. My legs always sway back and forth and I dont even notice, but people around me tell me to stop.
Heart Pinchings, I call them, tight chest, feels like someone is in my chest pinching my heart. I saw the doctor about it, took tests, all was ok, went to the heart institute, took tests, all was ok. This symptom has been extremely anoying for about a year.
Numbness in my arm, sometimes i loose sensation in parts of my arm, i can pinch it and dont feel anything. This one comes and goes.
Severe pain in my buttox cheek for no reason. No injury, same lifestyle pattern, but a severe pain came a while back, felt like my buttox was bruised from an injury.
Irritable, mood swings, paranoia, anxiety. This is the worst, again, I dont notice this much but the people around me tell me to relax.
Sleep deprevation, I wake up so many times during the night it's awful, this is ruining my life.
My eyes, within the past year, my eyesight has gotten much worse, sometimes my eyes will just water, like im crying for no reason. I had to get new glases and can no longer watch television without them on. Last year I could watch tv with no glasses.
I am stoping advair today and contacting the doctor or hospital to make sure it's safe and perhaps try an alternative. Hopefully it helps, hopefully I remember to update this forum on my results.

I received a shot of kenalog at the top of my left buttox after going to the emergency room because my throat was nearly swollen shut when I had mono. It was about 2 months after I had the shot that I noticed a weird dent where the shot had been given, the dent continued to grow in diameter and get deeper over the next couple of weeks. I went to the medical facility my college had on campus and after 2 NP's and 2 doctors came to look at it, 1 person asked if I'd had a kenalog shot at any time. He explained it to be a tissue atrophy caused by the shot and then told me that before a doctor administers that shot, they are suppose to explain the possible side effect to the patient and have a waiver signed. I went back to the hospital that I'd had the shot at and explained the situation to them and asked why I wasn't instructed about side effects and why I did not have any type of waiver presented either. They took a few days to get back to me, but the facility had aggreed to do reconstructive surgery on it at no charge. The only problem was that between my school/work schedule and the time it would take to have the surgeries/recovery time I was not able to have it done. However I would strongly suggest anybody else who's had this problem make this point to the facility they received their shot at. I was 19 at the time of the shot, and am 24 now. A minimal amount of tissue has regenerated on its own, however there is a scar-like marking about 2 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch high in that spot along with a small dent that still remains. The spot is very tender still and by this point, I'm assuming it will always be with me. Hopefully this helps anybody that's had a similar problem. Laws on the shot/procedures could vary by state so I would check with someone who is 100% familiar with medical laws in your state/area.

i recieved a kenalog shot in my left buttox about 14 months ago. About three months after recieving the shot I noticed a deep divit in my left butt cheek where the kenalog was administered. It took me months to put it all together and figure out where the dent came from, but i am now in a lawsuit against my doctor. is anyone else filing similar suits? if so, is it worth it? i will keep you posted on how my suit goes.
This dent wouldnt be that big of a deal since it is on my butt, but i am an 18 year-old girl with a nice body- except for the disturbing dent in my butt cheek. What if i was planning on being a strippper or thong model, all because of this dent my career would be ruined!!!

I had an 80mg shot of Kenalog for an alegic reaction, which come to find out is not protical, needless to say it was painful. But I didn't think much of it. After about 6 months the spot where I had the shot started to become discolored. Now there is just horrible pitting, the fat is gone, and the muscel is disappearing(right buttox/flank). The indentation is about 8cm long. It has now been more than a year since the shot. The shading of the discoloration changes almost daily, and the pain is getting so bad that sometimes i fall over in pain. I've talked to many doctors, and my final decision is plastic surery. The doctor will remove the discolored portion of skin, and removal of a portion of the muscel may be needed. Since the indentation is now so noticable liposuction will be used to reshape the side, and to even out the other side. STAY AWAY FROM KENALOG.

Been taking this for the past ten years and it is the only thing that allows my skin to quickly recover from eczema. Eczema started at age 22. After my first injection I felt more powerful than Darth Vader and noticed an increase in energy and stamina. A few weeks later, a crash begins and I feel the side effect of lethargy. Consistently, after each Kenalog shot, my skin will develop several pimples around my buttocks area and sometimes on my back after a month or two. I would prefer never to use Kenalog, but it has been the only thing that relieves the patches of skin that become red and flaky due to stress, lack of sleep, and a poor diet. Ultimately, I did develop 'hypercutia' which is a skin condition which allows my dermis to bleed more easily. After stopping the Kenalog injections for a few years, my entire dermis still remains thin and more vulnerable to bleeding. I make my living as an actor and it is part of the reason i still rely on Kenalog whenever an audition comes up and I need to show my body. The pimples eventually become little scars, which eventually become little darker spots on my body. I still believe that in spite of all the side effects, it is worth it if you make your living as an actor or model.
