Advair HFA and muscle and joint pain

I am an RN. I have complained to my allergist and Practisioner for years that I have terrible hip pain, muscle and joint pain with the Advair. It works great to control the wheezing, but everytime I start back on it, within 2 weeks I am limping and crying with pain in my legs and hips. Everytime I manage to get off for two weeks the pain subsides. I have had xrays of my hips and there is no deterioration. I too have gained considerable weight. We have tried Spriva and it also had adverse reactions. It increased mucus instead of decreasing it. If anyone has a suggestion, I would like to hear what it is.

I've been on Advair for a year but only needing it twice, once last May and again this May during alergy season. It literally made me bed ridden for a few days with severe muscle and joint pain. I would have never connected it with Advair if I hadn't seen this web site. I've been off it now for a few weeks and feeling a lot better.

I was put on Advair for extreme allergic reaction. I was coughing every night ( and it goot worse and I would cough days) and my lungs would fill up. I was tested for allergies and I came up allergic to EVERYTHING.

Recently I found out that I had roundworms ( intestinal parasites). The life cycle of the roundworm : egg is ingested- hatches in stomach - micro worm goes to heart then travels to lungs. The worm is then coughed up and swallowed- where it goes to the intestine and grows.

Could this be my unexplained "allergic to everythng?". I am still on Advair- but I am experiencing extreme muscle and joint pain. I feel like I am held together by rotton rubber bands.

I just did the search today on ADvair and I came up withthis thread- and I wonder how many other people have have parasites causing their asthma symptoms?

My next feat is egttig off Advair which I am addicted to....

Check out Dr Hulda Clark for parasite flushes. I will do this as soon as I stop nursing my baby....

Been on Advair for 6 months now and have gained 10 pounds. I weighed the same for years prior to Advair.
I even eat less now but still the weight gain around my stomach. Very fatiqued. All I want to do is sleep. Have experienced muscle and joint pain. Have had chest pain which travels down my left arm and tingle feelings in my left hand. Get headaches and back and shoulder pain. Feels like when you have the flu. Been getting heartburn also and the doctor gave me Aciphex for that and it did seem to help the heartburn. I'm so happy to have found this sight. I am going off the Advair and see what happens. I hope they go away soon. I am usually a very active person but now have no interest in much and no desire to get off the couch and do anything. I am usually very tired.

I am amazed! I have dry skin, hands and scalp, Skin bruises on arms and now starting on my chest in small spots, muscle and joint pain in feet. I wake up every morning stiff and bent over going to the bathroom, chronic sinus problems, going to see ENT (thought I had polyps) Dr. on the 30th of November, huge stomach, due to having twins 3 years ago, large pannus and excessive weight gain in stomach area which I think is due to advair, lost hair in crown area of scalp and my scalp STAYS flaky,hair thinning out, night sweats which I thought was premenopausal (I'm 40). Floaters in eyes which are more pronounced now than ever and sometimes flashes of white spots in peripheal vision. Toenails are dry, big toe is dry and dark and they look very unhealthy.

After starting Advair last Nov. I suddenly had so much pain in legs and arms. Difficult to walk or lift anything. This pain continued until spring when I demanded a diagnosis. It was diagnosed as polymyalgia rheumatica. They do not know what causes it. I already had fibromyalgia. After prednisone for one day ALL pain and stiffness disappeared and I need to take prednisone for one year. I noticed others with fibromyalgia had much increased pain after Advair
