Advair HFA and holistic approach

I have been treated for sinusitis and asthma for the last year. On my last visit to the allergist, he commented that my lung function was better on the first visit than it has been since. Ah, the miracle of modern medicine. I read with interest the accounts of the many side effects of Advair. I was beginning to think I had lost my mind or worse yet that this was the way it was going to be from now on... extreme fatigue, depression, weight gain, joint aches and pains..and really I am not much better than when I started. I will wean myself off the meds and try the holistic approach...anything has got to be better than the life I have now

Occasional hoarseness

Foot Pain leg pain

Nausea or hunger pangs sudden and painful

Heartburn

Bloated stomach but I eat 3 garlic cloves a day so not too sure if Advair is culprit

throat irritation

Have been using the 100 and 250 at one puff a day for year and a half

Excellent control of asthma but the side effects are not worth it. Will consider alternative, perhaps holistic approach.
