I have been on advair for about 5 to 6 yrs. I was on 250/50 at first and my hands and legs would all ways hurt me. Then I had a bad asthma attack which landed me in ICU. That's when the doctors gave me the largest dose of the 500/50. It has been a year since I have been on this and I have hair loss.
One side of the head around my egdes are bald.
And the rest of my hair is getting very thin. I am only 39 years old, and I have to were wigs.

Severe upper and lower extremity cramping, hair loss and mid-cycle bleeding. Took myself off the inhaler, went to the specialist and he tested my breathing. Only down by 5%. I now live with radial nerve tension in my forearms due to muscular cramping and mid-cycle cramping in my feet.

I have been taking Advair 500 twice a day for 19 days! I have gained 7 lbs (that I know about), heart rate of 115 beats a minute, hair loss, vision problems, getting up several times a night to go to the bathroom, abdominal bloating, sores in my mouth! I'm not using this anymore after reading the side effects noted on this web site!!! I was given Advair when I had severe bronchitis, pneumonia, and NOW a sinutis infection. I'm not sure the medications have not caused some of the problems.

Hoarseness, sinus pain, muscle pain esp. in legs, mild hair loss. Also: night sweats (not sure if this is related, but I'm wondering!) I've been on 250/50 for almost two years now.

I have COPD and been on Advair for one year now. I have the cramping in my legs and my arms and legs constantly ache-- Also--I have not seen this on any of the above but has ANYONE had any dealings with hair loss? I have been loosing alot of hair daily for the past few months and I also have the bloating of the stomach all the time.
I am only on Combivent and ADVAIR so something is doing it to me. I am 62---

I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...
