I was put on Advair 500/50 about 2 monhs ago. I was in the mild asthma category. I use Albuterol as a rescue inhailer, and I have used Singulair for some time. A spoot showed on my lung. I then had a brochoscopy done, which showed that I had aspirated some vegetable matter. (I also have GERD). I developed a severe cough and could hardly walk, at first unable to raise much sputum, and had pleanty of audible heezing. Finally, I got put on MethylPrednisolne 4mg tablets (6 days). That took care of the asthmatic end. However, I still coughed pleanty, and could hardly move or take care of myself. I started coughing up huge amounts of pus looking sputum and also yellow-green sputum.My throat hurt, my ears hurt, and I was exhausted. I went to the ER, where they did a Chest X-Ray and a blood test. The next day, I went to my pulmonary specialist. I have pneumonia, and thrush, still couging up pleanty of stuff. I am on Nystatin for Thrush and Augmentin for infection, some other stuff for cough. I think that most of our doctors sincerely want to help us. However, this wining and dining of our doctors from the pharmeceutical companies has to stop!!! It is causing A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR BOTH DOCTORS AND PATIENTS. I am still on the Advair. I would like to get off it.
