I am 41 and recently diagnosed with asthma. 2 weeks ago was put ...

I used to take azmacort for years and was fine. The doctor decided to try me on this new inhaler, asmanex. I have taken it for about 6 weeks and my whole body aches. I am 55 and in great shape, but even my feet hurt to walk on when I get up in the morning. I never had this before and, although I am not a runner, walking and mountain hiking are my major forms of exercise. During the day it seems to improve a bit, but worsens at night again. I HATE IT and it also has disrupted my sleep and I am constantly hoarse. I am going back to azmacort, the tried and true asthma inhaler with no side effects for me. I have done some research on side effects, and joint/back pain is noted as a secondary potential side effect. Good luck.
