Since June 2004, I took Advair after a very bad asthma attack when I was hospitalized. Last month, I stopped taking Advair during a week vacation when I inadvertently forgot it at home. Since my asthma didn't return, I decided to try living without it. That's when I started having stomach cramps. I made the connection to Advair last night when I realized that my problems started after I stopped taking Advair. Thanks to this website, I realized that the side-effects, which I thought was just life, was coming from Advair: - weight gain despite working out 5 days a week. Even though I did my regular leg stretches, my joints felt very tight. Sometimes after working out, I felt dizzy or close to vomiting. I thought this was due to excessive training so I cut down the days and switched my workout. But it didn't matter, I am now unable to workout regularly because of the daily stomach cramps. - severe leg cramps after biking and kayaking - if I sat down too long, my feet got bloated like I had been riding an airplane - Insomnia - heart palpitations - dry and flaky skin - an open wound from a slight burn that is taking a long time to heal - joint pains at night that are only relieved by lying in a hot tub for half the night I'm hoping that these side effects will go away eventually as the Advair drug gets out of my system.
