I'm a 38 year old female who was prescribed Advair after a severe bout of bronchitis one year ago. While at first I thought that it was helping my lungs my family members noticed that I was getting more headaches, mood swings and I went from a soprano singer to sounding like Harry Belafonte. I have stopped and now I have cramping pains in my chest and upper back. I call it my traveling pain as it is not always in the same spot. I would much rather have tried a homeopathic remedy than subject myself to Advair every again. I have learned through a nutritionist and chiropractor how to manage the pain in my lungs that this crap has left behind. Please research this carefully before you start sucking in that dust!!

hey man, i tried advair back in may...shortly after that the doctors told me that my left ventrical heart muscle was damged and enlarged...i have the same cramping chest pains. i use to have the back pain too, but it's gone now. maybe you should have your heart scanned for damage. the good news though, is that doctors in germany have used stem cells from the patients own bone marrow to repair the damged heart muscle...look it up in your free time. studies have shown that stem cells (from a persons own bone marrow, not embryos,) repairs damged done by heart attacks too...this is good news.

I completly understand about losing the soprano! I used to have a range of 5 octives now I can barely reach 1st soprano! Ever since I started Advair my singing voice is not as good as it was, also, I have noticed that my ears get plugged. I posted to a lady earlier about leg cramps, and joint pain. I have also noticed sleep problems. We are coming off of Advair effective immediatly. Maybe my daughters leg cramps that keep her up will cease.
