Interesting reading. I have not had the sore throat. I have not had weight gain, but neither have i been able to lose weight. I haven't had joint pain, but a defintie sensitivity to it.
I've been taking advair for a year. The thing i noticed was a sensitivity to existing allergies. So for instance, i've always been allergic to mold but the symptoms have been minor and they have reduced over time. Now i have a constant pulmanary response where i cough up yellow phlegm. I've decided to go back to the flovent inhaler and see if this solves my problems. i don't know if it will but the symptoms started when i started using the advair. I've also suffered from fatigue and my pituitary gland is being overworked. Right now, my theory is that my body is being stressed trying to handle the overreactions to allergens in my environment.
As for joint pain, for me it seems to be a digestive thing, but that doesn't mean the advair is not contributing to a digestive problem, that is then causing my joints to hurt.
I've been sick for many years. One thing i've learned is if your doctor isn't listening to you, then you need to find one who will. In our culture we place drs in a place of high authority and we are taught not to question that authority. It's your body, your health and your life. It is the drs responsibility to know the products they recommend and to listen to their patients. It's the patient's responsibility to question when things don't feel right and to help figure out the solutions. Some times they tell me what is wrong; some times i tell them what is wrong.

I was on Reglan every 4 hours for nausea, GERD, acid reflux,
digestive disorders, now known as Gastroperisis, Gastric emptying syndrome, DRUG INDUCED PARKINSONISM.
I took Reglan for a few years for digestive, stomach problems and nausea.
I had this progressing over several months I couldn't write a check, my daughters had to do it, I couldn't eat food without spilling it, the tremors just advanced so quickly and severely until the neurologist said I didn't have Parkinson's and too get off Reglan. It took a few months but the tremors went away and I got my life back.
But not entirely, I don't know if Reglan caused the Gastroparesis or not. But I was recently diagnosed with that. Still have GERD, and other digestive problem including the recnt dx of Gastroparesis which there is no cure for.
