Started treatment symptoms and conditions

Just started treatment for fungus (discovered via endoscopy), patches being found in esophogus and near stomach opening. Doctor is thinking Advair is the culprit and the strength of the antiobiotic gives me severe stomach pain! This is my first time dealing with a fungus because of taking an asthma therapy! Let me hear how some of you dealt with similar situation and if your fungus cleared up with prescribed antiobotic. Thanks.

hello
i am 37 and have had severe chronic asthma all my life. as a child,teen, and young adult i was in the emrgency room at least twice a year for cold related asthma problems. i started taking theophylline at the age of 16, used over the counter inhalers til my mid-twenties when was given albuterol, and have gone on prednisone treatments numerous times. about 2 years ago my condition started deterioating, none of my previous medications were working well. by this time last year i was so bad that i went through an albuterol inhaler every two weeks, and i was constantly sick with lung infections. thats when my pulmonary dr (same one for almost 20 yrs) put me on advair and singulair. i noticed a MAJOR, near miraculous change for the positive almost right away, i could breathe again! i haven't been this clear for years. a few months after i started treatment i gained 10 lbs in less than a month. i thought it was because i changed birth control pills but changing back didn;t seem to help. i have started having attacks of diarrhea at least once a week, gas, bloating, swelling (of feet, hands, middle). lately i've been feeling nauseous, my lifleong insomnia has gotten MUCH worse, i've had blurry vision and the feeling like my head is going to explode. not to mention dizzines, lightheadedness, pressure in my head, dry mouth, hoarseness, back & feet pain, severe anxiety, tremors, rapid heartbeat- what seem to be all the classic symptoms! i had no idea it was the medication. i was so ill the other day i almost had my boyfriend take me to the emrgency room. i had been hearing on the news about serevent being unsafe so i started looking up the side effects and realized that's what it was (i now also see singulair can have similar effects) i stopped taking the advair for 2 days but my severe asthma started returning almost imeediately so i had to use it this morning- and i feel like CRAP right now. i know i need to see my dr ASAP but i am worried about controlling my asthma- i can't deal with these side effects but i also can't return to the state i was in last year- i could NOT BREATHE and was using my albuterol so much it was causing it's own problems (jittery, rapid heartbeat). PLEASE email me (******)if anyone has had any luck with alternatives! (does flovent cause the same long term problems?)

I have taken my first shot almost 3 weeks ago. I am 36 years old with 1 child(15years old). I have a history of fibriods, scar tissue from prior surgeries. I only have 1 ovary due to cysts and tumor growth. I am in bad need of a tummy tuck due to prolapse abdomen muscles which leads to bad back pains. (Insurance won't cover) I do not know a day without pain to be honest. After my intial shot, I suffered a bad case of reflux. (Taking Protonix for it) Have gained some weight and feel very swollen. My legs are constantly hurting. I am not as active as I used to be, feeling very old & dry. I was already having menopausal symptoms before I started treatment (taking Zorloft)so the flashes & mood swings do not bother me. On the other hand I am not feeling the pain the same as I was and I feel in good spirits. Unlike others, I have increased sexual desire, problem is, I'm not currently in an relationship. After reading these comments not sure if I want to take a second dose. Has any female had any good results from the treatment? I really do not want an hysterectomy. Would appreciate any comments or shared views.

Have had severe anxiety for as long as can remember. Started treatment 10 years ago. Recent trend from doctors is that they want me to be off benzodiazepams. Was taking Klonipin and Xanax. Yesterday, Doc prescribed a doubling of 12 mg of Gabitril to 24 mg at night for severe anxiety. I felt like I was dying. I got dizzy, disoriented, Felt like I couldn't breathe, my hands and feet were cold. This medicine's side effects are unpredictable and and appear to be more problematic in anxiety/depressed patient, (in treating anxiety) than has been reported.

My mother has not yet started treatment, however she was told seizures was a possible side effect

I have been taking Tegretol 200 mg CR - twice daily for treatment of Jacksonian seizure since last 3.5 months. There is no recurrence of seizure (which happened 4-5 times on single day before I started treatment)but I had encountered for few times some shaking sensation (like one responds when attacked physically by raising hand towards the face!). Also I have observed increased boils on head and armpits, increase in sleep and increase of weight.
