I have been on advair since 1999, I have gained over 50lbs since I started taking it. It wasn't until earlier this year did I say enough is enough, I can't do this anymore. I will have new insurance on 10/1 and will go to the doc then. I pray there is something else out there other than these inhailed steroids. Now I don't want to be without any meds because this has worked the best so far. I have been on azmacort, servent, q-var, flovent, predinisone, other steriod shots, singular and of course albuterol, slo-bid, proventil. My side effects have been yeast infection (mouth), migraines, rapid heart rate, bad dreams, dizziness and confusion, emotional spells, nausea and of course weight gain. I am glad I found this site. Thanks

I am trying a natural product called transfer factor. I have only took one supplement and have not used my advair for 3days and have not taken an allergy pill for 3 days. I have put on lots of weight since starting the advair and like you I also quit smoking. There are lots of testimonials about transfer factor on line. I asked my Dr about it. He said it wont hurt you but he cant support it cause it is a non prescription meds. If it wont hurt me it is worth a shot. Lots of people with allergies and asthma have found releif and don't use any meds anymore. I am hoping for the same. Hope this helps.
