two years ago I had the pneumonia vaccine. Less than a year ago, I had a cold. .. and while taking Advil, my cold quickly turned into pneumonia and I had to go through two different antibiotics to get rid of it and this ended up going on for about 2 months to get free from it all. A real mess! By then I came off Advair as I thought it might be related to the reason I got Pneumonia! A year later, I have a cough --getting over a cold - and my primary care doctor wants to put me back on Advair again. To be honest, I don't want to touch the stuff. I'm very sensitive to drugs. If they give me pain killers at the E.R., I am a "sinker". I know my doctor is trying to do the best, but I'm really hesitant about it! I think my cough will get better on its own..with my inhalers.. atrovent, etc. although it's constant. But I have a suspicion that Advair could have been a part of the reason I got pneumonia. Any ideas on any other help?
