I'm 38 and have been on Singulair and Flovent for years then my Dr recommended Advair. I was on Advair for about 2 weeks and noticed I had a lot of itching on my back and neck... everywhere really... and when I would scratch I would develop big welts. I would develop welts just by brushing up against my skin. I also started to have joint pain in my knuckles and fingers. I thought it way be due to allergy season but I had never experienced this before.
I called my Dr and he said to stop and see him in a few days.... we'll see.
Too bad, because I don't ever remember having such clear lungs and breathing.

Hey guys, i was just recently put on advair to assist with my breathing. I have been weezing since allergy season has started. I have never had to use it in the past. I have only been on it for a few days now. my question is - does this take a while to kick in? Cause I still feel I cant breathe that well. I havent experience any of the side effects mentioned, however, I want my damn breathing to improve. I am perfecly healthy according to my doctor, and i have never had asthma, but sometimes had to take an inhaler when i was younger for my allergies - thats all! Any tips on how long this takes to start working?
Rob
