I was started on Advair HFA about 35 days ago. A little background about me is that I'm 35 years old, in good physical shape. I'm a competitive cyclists doing road races anywhere from 45-100 miles, I work out 2-4 hours everyday. I've had lifelong chronic asthma, but have fought the disease with my healthy lifestyle. I also play the saxophone.

Since I've been on Advair I've developed a constant sore throat. Been coughing up stuff constantly when I'm out training on my bike. Can't seem to sleep for more than a few hours at a time. The worst side affect has been the leg cramps which are killing my training for up coming races. I have constant leg cramps that force me to get out of bed over and over to work them out. My energy levels have dropped to the point that I can't do even half a workout without being totally wiped out. This is coming from a guy that averages 60miles a day on the bike, the other day I couldn't even do 15 miles and had to stop from the constant cramps and tiredness. This stuff is a nightmare. I've gone back to using nothing but my albuterol inhaler. I'll continue to do lung exercises 4 times a day and completely clean up my diet and basically get this stuff out of my system. Let this be a warning that you can't get something positive without something negative as well.

I have been on Winstrol (oral form, 2x25 mg per day) for two weeks now, out of a program of 6 weeks. Muscle gains are pretty good, much faster than expected, in fact. However, I have recurring headaches, cannot sleep well anymore (and I had never experienced that in my life...), and I put on a lot of weight (8 lbs, per week), possibly from water retention and muscle gains. I am on a fairly serious cardio program besides my usual strength workout (5 hrs a week of intense cardio), but I am really surprised not to lose any weight or gain any definition at all. I am just bulking up, which is great for martial arts, but not for wearing business suits.
As far as my sex drive is concerned, nothing to report so far. If I keep putting weight on like that for the remaining 4 weeks, I think I will not have to worry about my sex drive anyway as I will certainly not be able to score anymore ;-)
I have experienced some bouts of nausea, and I feel generally bloated.
My temper is usually fairly volatile, and it has not getting any better recently. I am not sure this can or should be attributed to Winstrol, though.

I've been on Advair for years. I'm a healthy 32 y.o female, active, with severe asthma. Trying to get myself off of it and have been successful at taking the medication once every 3 days or so. I am working out more and need it less often - the more I build up lung capacity. Within the last year, I've noticed that I've been losing eyebrow hair. So much of it, in fact, that I went to the Derm. for a diagnosis. They think it's "alopecia" - and I say ... it's ADVAIR. Anyone else experiencing hair loss or eyebrow loss, who happens to be on an inhaled steroid? In my case, it's only ONE eyebrow - very annoying! Hair on head is fine. Can't help but link it to the drugs, since Alopecia seems just way too far removed.
