I meant to puit this in my earlier post but had to leave, so here is a continuation... My eyes were also becoming involved. I was getting *blurred vision*. I suggested to my doctors that the Advair was causing my *labored breathing* but they both poo-pooed the idea. So, being the trusted soul that I am, I went on taking the Advair, continuing to suffer, when I wasn't having trouble breathing before I started taking it. The Advair dosage was raised twice to the full dosage. After six months of treaments and steroids that weren't helping, I gave up and took matters into my own hands and simply stopped taking it. I called my family doctor and told him I was doing so and he agreed. The symptoms eased up within a week. He told me that some patients can't tolerate Advair. There are alternatives, but please, I urge you to be careful as some of them are similar to Advair. I'm not sure if it was the kind of steroid or the fact that the combined medication is in powdered form that triggered my side effects.
There is also a discussion board here where everyone can talk to each other.
I wish you well.
