HAVE BEEN ON aDVAIR, sPIRIVA AND aLBUTEROL FOR 3 YRS NOW. have gained 40 lbs, exercise 5 times a week, walk,swim,aerobics.. no weight loss.. also diet. have shortness of breath all the time no matter what i do. chest pains, body itches everywhere all the time. doctors keep writing prescriptions and have no answers, so i ignore the new prescriptions and am now my own doctor. AFTER READING all of this, i just THREW out my Advair. the weight i gained is all in my stomach and i look like an old pregnant lady.. what a mess. i'm waiting for a Class Action Suit and it should be soon.. someone is going to pay for all of this. those doctors getting paid for writing RX's for money and gifts st our expense could go on forever. should be tarred and feathered.
