Respiratory capacity symptoms and conditions

I was a 2:42 marathoner. I used a synthetic varnish containing isocyanates, pentanedione, organic solvents, in one 7-hour session; the company-recommended respirator did not in fact prevent transmission: Severe chemically- induced asthma, plus neuropathy, plus, plus.

I've used Advair 500/50 for six years. There have been many diverse effects from the chemical exposure; I'd not questioned any being Advair side effects. But the raised blood pressure was not initial, and certainly not a priori. Diminished hearing, diminished eyesight, anxiety. Again, not to lump in, but these questions are new for me. But the point I'd like to bring before this group is this: In August I was diagnosed with ehlichiosis , and was prescribed 28 days on doxycycline. They recommend eliminating many possible antagonists to the doxycycline. My respiratory capacity had been continually diminishing. My ongoing physician said this was to be expected and recommended only the next more powerful steroid. Not a good solution. Before all this I was strong; repaired myself. In the absence of constructive answers, wondering if the Advair was weakening me, making me dependent, I quit the Advair as well on beginning the doxycycline. Today is eleven days post-doxycycline. Eight days ago there began with increasing severity, a terrible wracking deep cough producing dark yellow mucus. Painful. No fever. Grevious throat from the wracking, but I question whether this is a cold or infection. It's just in my lungs. Maybe it's as though I've thrown off an epithelial coating. These past two days the quantity of deep yellow mucus is not as ready, but the wracking and coughing is more severe. And my lung capacity, my respiratory capacity, is frighteningly diminished. Until these past two days I'd considered this an infection, especially post-doxy. But it doesn't feel like an infection. And I'm scared. Is this because I quit the Advair abruptly after long regular use? Have any of you had a similar experience. Can you discuss the effects of abruptly discontinuing Advair. Have you stayed off it. What's happened to your respiratory capacity. Have you any professional studies, trials or experience to recommend. Thanks.

Hello, ladies. I took Yasmin for one year and sudenly many things made sense as I read your experiences. My side effects happened gradually, but worsened a lot this last month. They are:
-joint aches (my doctor said I had fibromyalgia!)
-no sex drive
-leg cramps
-vaginal dryness, which gives you pain when you're having sex
-hair loss, dry hair
-a "beautiful" brown spot above my lip, like a moustache (wasted a fortune with peelings and lotions)
-decreased respiratory capacity
I sing opera, which requires a lot of energy and breathing capacity, and I had a hard time trying to figure out what was happening to my voice. It even changed in tone quality, to worse.
I've been off the pill for 6 days and I've already noticed some nice changes in my voice, but I'm experiencing bad cramps and a weird anxiety. Guess it is my body trying to desintoxicate from all this mess!
