I have been on Advai 250/50 since Spring. I have had some laryngitis which I believed was cause by a bad cold I had . Then in June I started losing my voice continously and cannot get it back. I have been to one ENT who put me on Steroids for a week( no results). I went back a month later, my vocal cords still swollen and still no voice. This ENT wanted to do surgery right away and shave down the vocal cords. I went to get a 2nd opinion and the other ENT told me to discontinue my ADvair, since on of the side effects is Disphonia ( loss of voice). So I have discontinued the Advair. We shall see if this is the cause of my chronic Laryngitis.

I began taking prednisone 7/13/06, and the side effects are terrible. I have thush so bad that my tongue bleeds when I brush my teeth, I'm constantly hungry and I usually only eat twice a day, I feel bloated, my eyes ache and I have heartburn so bad that it feels like someone is literally pouring acid down my throat. I was given predinose to relieve chronic laryngitis. The side effects are much worse than the loss of my voice. I wish I would have been worned by my Dr. prior to taking the medication. My concern now is what type of long or short effects will taking this medicine have on my body and how long before I notice an improvement. I'm also a diabetic and my blood sugars have been out of control.
