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.
