I too have recently had a CT scan done and I just recently found out that I had 3 nodules on my lungs. I have too have been on the advair diskus for a year. Don't know if this is one of the side effects but I've never had this problem before.

I don't know if this is a direct effect from Advair. I have been using it for about 2 years and my Dr did a Ct scan and found 2 nodules in my right lung. I don't know if it is directly from the med but I never had any thing like this until now! I have had asthma all of my life

I was diagnosed recently with having asthma and was very happy to start using Advair because it helped tremendously. I used it for about two months, but last week I came down with what I believed to be a virus. Fever, chills, etc. Once it passed though, I noticed that my calves were extremely sore and looked like they were retaining fluid. Also, sores on my tongue were not going away. I also developed a pain in my lower abdomen which really heart when my bladder was full. After noting a good deal of protein in my urine, my doctor ordered at CT scan for my side, but after reading other Advair side effects I called him and told him I did not feel comfortable taking Advair anymore. He recommended I stop, only after I told him that I was even having trouble holding my arm up to talk on my cell phone. This is my third day off Advair and today the sores on my tongue are pretty much gone. The pain in my calves has subsided and they appear not to be holding fluid anymore. I had the CT scan this morning and am awaiting results.

I've always had problems with leg cramps but now, since I've started taking Advair, every muscle in my body cramps -- BADLY. So I'm done, I'm going to call the doctor Monday a.m. & tell him I've stopped the medication. I just thought it was a fluke and I was having a bad time (have done that), but since getting on here and seeing that other people have had this problem, I'm sure it's the Advair. Occassionally I've forgotten a dose & the cramps have gotten better. So now I'm putting 2/2 together. As much as Advair has helped my cough, it's put me in so much pain I can't get one hrs. sleep before I have to jump out of bed and try walking a cramp out, during the day my back, arms, hands, chest, stomach muscles are all cramping painfully while I'm trying to work.
