I am not a Dr. but I have been working in hospitals and nursing homes for 14 years as a CNA and now I am in school 3 years already to be a medical assistant the last 4 years of my life was bad with my health. My Dr. had no clue what was wrong with me, which was awful. I lived in a tired fog and couldn't even think of what to do later in the now, I felt like a fat zombie with no brain just there, couldn't comprehend I honestly didn't want to live like that anymore. Now to you, I think Advair is steroids that's why it's bad for your teeth, even your inhaler should be steroids and breathing treatments. Patients are usually directed to brush their teeth after using these products. Steroids can be your lifeline when you can't breathe, but they are bad for bones making them brittle and more prone to breaks. Don't feel bad there is people that have to take them everyday for the rest of their lives. I had alot of your symptoms as well and I finally got a new Dr. because mine was starting to think I was whacked being 30 years old and all these symptoms I would complain about. I was on Advair at one time. I do think it helped me. I am just gonna tell you my story and you do the math for your opinon.Ok. I would have a 4 hour day in school and couldn't wait to go home and go right to bed reguardless of anything else. To be that tired was a sin! I would drink a whole pot of coffee just to do my dishes and sweat would poor off of my body the whole time. Here I go to a new Dr. and I have high blood pressure and needed to be on 2 pills for it. I started to lose the weight and actually started to move around again, I even got to be able to my breathe again. After that my feet hurt an hour into my shift, I told my new Dr. she did my bloodwork.Here I had high cholestrol, I got pills for that and the feet pain went away. I also have allergy problems. I started to have post nasal drip at night when I would lay down so bad that it would keep me up coughing and choking my new Dr. prescribed a generic Claritin from the pharmacy. I take it before I go to bed, problem resolved. Remember everyones body is different. But this is what I lived through and what I know worked for me. If you feel your Dr. DOESN"T listen to you move on, trust me. Also if you have pets ALLERGY people keep them out of your room. It is the hardest, I know. Love Shelly
PS. You know your body better than any doctor, listen to what it is telling you.
