Wow! I've spent so much time and money at Dr's, specialists for tests to end up with absolutely no idea what is going on with me.
On my own, I decided to look into the medication I was taking ... and ta da!!! Here it is in big bold print! Thank you everyone ... and for this site!
I'd like to go back and just say a few words to all those Dr's that just laughed me out of their office and back in to my own world of frustration.
AND IF ANYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU STOP TAKING ADVAIR (WHICH I DID) ... DO THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY, DO YOU GAIN YOUR NICE FIGURE BACK AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE???

Advair 500 DID relieve my asthma symptoms, excellent!
But with that....
Huge bloated stomach almost painful sometimes
Aching joints/stiffness
Severe Fatigue
Heartburn and reflux (on meds for that now!)
Significant weight gain, especially across the abdomen
Pain/ache across my upper chest area
Puffy face
Slow healing for something as simple as a scratch.

I am normally a very patient and kind individual. Immediately after beginning treatment with the 250/50 diskus, I became very aggressive and nearly violent. Had terrible time trying to sleep, and this only added to the continual sense of frustration.

My eyes are always red, and my vision has become blurry. I have cut the dose in half (only one puff per day) but symtoms do not seem to have decreased. I am 34 years old and have never breathed this freely in my life. I have always had to carry an albuteral inhaler with me, and used it several times a day. Now, I couldn't even tell you where it is!

I am going to try taking it only one puff every other day and see if I can deal with the symtoms that remain. I have always been underweight, so I am actually enjoying the increased appetite. However, I have not as yet seen any significant weight gain.
