Severe numbness in lower arms and legs throughout night, chronic giant urticaria, systemic thrush with constant dry, itchy and inflamed mouth and throat. Severe hot flushes. At one point, I had 4 months off work as at times my joints swelled after urticaria attacks to the po0int where i couldn't walk or move my wrists etc. Acute pain, sickness, excessive mucus and more. I take 2x2 Symbicort per day, plus 8x2 ventolin per day.I also have severe water retention, weight gain and bloatedness. My worst symtoms kicked off after taking diclofenic acid (volterol) for back pain. I had never previously had any side effects with short term use of volterol, but I had previously been on becotide and sabutamol inhalers. Once starting on Symbicort, all other mediction, even paracetomol have resulted in severe and unpleasant side effects. Has anyone else had anything like this?

Yes, as a matter of fact i have. My symptoms have been getting stranger. I seem to also get low blood pressure and sleeplessness, along with anxiety. You are not alone. I was on advair and then was switched to Symbicort. In the beginning it seemed to be working fine, but with prolonged use, it is getting worse. I am taking myself off of it to switch to something else. I will see what my doctor can do for me.
