I had been on advair since it came on the market. I have suffere...

I have been on advair on and off (more on) for ten years! i have been an asthmatic since I was 2 and it never got any better as years progressed. I took shots and have honestly been on every drug there can be for asthma. Fortunatly, Advair is the only drug that works great for me. I am 5'6" and weigh 125-130. I have never noticed any problem in my weight.Infat last summer I got down to 113 (what was i thinking??). I do have some belly weight, but I just assumed that was a curse from my mothers side. :) Perhaps it is Advair? ALso, i am a very moody girl. Again, I just assumed that was just me! Either way i am happy to breathe better with Advair. These side effects do not effect me enough to stop the medication. I have however experienced thrush of the nouth due to Advair. The reason for that was becuase I was not rinsing properly afterwards. All in all i think it is an amazing medication for severe asthma suffers. OH..also, I have began noticing pains in my left leg and also severe cramping in my feet. Apparently, steroids make you lose potassium. I have not gotten around to fixing this yet but I will :) I hope you all give this a try....it does work and its not poison.
