hello, i an a 62 yr old man. i was prescribed advair 250/50 two weeks ago(3-17-04) for wheezing problems and shortness of breath. after only a week, i started to experiance bad neck pains. muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders that were real bad!(the worst i have ever felt) i had to take pain medications to be able to just hold up my head. also my legs(calves) were so tight i could hardly walk. and my bad joints got even worse. i have had a cough since starting advair. even though i stopped taking advair after only 6 days, but i still have a cough, and a sore neck, though my neck is not as bad as it was. i was never told that this(advair) was a steroid drug. i will never take another dose of this drug. it has made the last two weeks miserable!
