Advair HFA and miracle

Started taking Advair 7/27/07. Since then I have alot of twitching. In my legs, my arms and sometimes even my head twitches suddenly. I used to be able to sleep late in the morning, but now the twitching wakes me up.
Have also experienced some chest tightness.

I have been on Advair for YEARS.. and yes, it has been good to me as far as controlling my asthma.. but have had seriouse hoarsness isssues and hip and leg pain, as well as weight gain. I am starting a new medication today and hope to find some improvement upcoming.

After living with asthma and relying on a rescue inhaler for 28 years, I was prescribed advair 500/50 and it has changed my life. I have not used my rescue inhaler since. It is like a miracle cure. I know its not a cure but it really works great. Do you know what it feels like to leave the house without panicking because I couldn't find my rescue inhaler?

My Son has had Asthma since he was about 1. As a baby it started out with horrible Eczema, then the Asthma took over.
He will be 9 soon.
From the age of 2 thru 4 he was in the ICU serveral times.
We started out with having a nebulizer, he was on it at least 4 to 6 times a day when his Asthma would flair up and at least once or twice a day. His Doctor started him out on Singular at age 4 and that worked great for about a year and then the Singular just completely stopped working. He was put on ADAVIR! and it was a Miracle! Wow no more Puffer, he can run around and play outside and do all the things that a boy his age should be able to do.. But now that I have read this board, my son also has had horrible leg cramping, soars in his mouth and heatburn. After reading this board I am sitting here thinking OH MY! what affects will this Medication have on him for years to come? I don't want to find out either, calling his Pulomologist First thing Monday !

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

Trouble sleepin, Bad stomach aches (may be caused by recent prescripted Omnicef antibiotic). Does thsi realy cause weight gain? I need to loose weight, so i will have to stop if that is teh truth. Its sad though because it is a miracle for my asthma!
