I have been on Advair 500/50 for about 4 to 5 years. I cannot keep the weight off. I eat hardly anything at meals. I eat no sweets or bread. About 2 years ago I starting experiencing severe drowsiness even after sleeping well the night before. I was so tired. I had every test done at the dr. possible. I am on a C-pap machine and I kept bugging the sleep dr. about the pressure not being right on the machine. I had a hormone saliva test done and got my hormones on the right track. I kept waiting to feel better.I have had what I thought was irritable bowel syndrome for over a year now and been on medicine for that. It hasn`t really helped. Anyway, I read on the internet about candida and did the spit test. I had lots of yeast. I have been on a large bottle of Nystatin for the yeast now. The allergist said the Advair can cause a yeast problem in the throat and stomach. I feel much better after finishing the Nystatin, but I am sure the yeast will come back. I have to be on something as good as Advair since my asthma is so bad. I am also on Singulair and allergy shots. (For 3 years now) I still can`t handle being in the cold air. My lower calves swell up at my sock line when I am on my feet a lot. It is never ending! What do we do? Can`t live with Advair and can`t live with it!
