I began taking Advair 250/50 about two months ago. After one month, I developed thrush on the back roof of my mouth and back of my throat despite gargling with alcohol-based mouthwash and brushing my teeth after taking the Advair. A prescription of Nystatin to swish and spit every eight hours took care of the thrush. I still find myself clearing my throat quite a bit with a feeling of throat congestion and am sometimes hoarse. After 90 days on the 250/50, my breathing tests improved only slightly, so the doc upped me to Advair 500/50. Three days later I experienced discomfort and mild pain in my left chest while competing in a bicycle race which I do regularly. The discomfort increased with increased effort, so to play it safe I dropped out and relaxed. This feeling has continued over the last three days but appears to be lessening. I assumed I had strained an intercostal muscle in my ribs during my breathing tests at the doc's. After reading comments on this site, I'm more concerned about side-effects. I plan to discontinue use of Advair temporarilly to see if it disappears. If it does, I will restart Advair use and see what happens, then post more to this site.

I started taking Advair about 1 1/2 years ago. Around September of last year I reported white dots on my throat to my doctor, he gave me a z-pack (over the phone). I suffered with these white dots/fungus on and off for over 6 months now and recently found out it's a yeast infection. I was prescribed a medicine you swish with. As soon as I was done with the med., I got the yeast infection back but even worse!! I have night sweats, break outs all over my body (I used to have a very clear complexion), I cough up thick chunky mucus and am tired all the time. My doctor ran a bunch of tests and found nothing else wrong and took me off Advair immediatly. Now what? I did great on Serevent and Flovent inhalers and now all they have is disks! I'm afraid to take more disks, I just want to start feeling better.

I have now tapered to 10mg prednisone every other day and will end 75mg Cytoxan Aug 19th. Just went to the Dr. and she said protein is back in urine (bad) but also rising in blood. (good) I can continue to taper prednisone but will have to have another 24 hr urine speciman to determine wether I have to go on cyclosporine. Was originally diagnosed with Minimal Change Disease, but now she thinks it could be another kidney disease. Has anyone had successful tapering with the addition of cyclosporine? Does the urine protein ever get higher? What about side effects of cyclosporine.
