Advair HFA and breakouts

I have been on Advair 100/50 for about 8 months now for adult onset asthma. I have noticed really not much of an improvement - only slight - in my symptoms of chest tightness. Taking Tylenol Arthritis seems to help with the symptoms. I started having facial breakouts with sores around my mouth that don't heal. They are still red and tender - thought it was a cold sore but it isn't going away. I am now convinced it is from taking Advair. I have also had weight gain in the past few months but thought it was from all the cookies & ice cream I was eating! :-) Now I can blame it on Advair! I am going to speak with my doctor about these side effects and change to some other type of medication!

I recently posted severe bloating in my stomach which I was very worried it was something else, but suspected Advair. Well I received all of the results back from blood tests and my pelvic ultrasound and they were all fine. I have discontinued using Advair and my stomach has gone down A LOT, it is nice and flat again although (of course) I am having trouble breathing again. My face is clearing up too, it gave me horrible rashes and breakouts and the dark circles under my eyes are gone too.
I did research on some natural alternatives to help asthma and some simple changes in diet and supplements can help as well as breathing exercises and yoga. I am going to try that for now and keep my albuterol handy for emergencies. I have had it with traditional medicine and inconsiderate doctors who are just too busy to really care about the root of the problem, they just give you a quick fix that can hurt you long term. this medicine has actually made my asthma WORSE since I stopped taking it.
A book I recommend is "Reversing Asthma" by Richard N. Firshein, D.O. he is an osteopathic doctor.
take care everyone.
