Advair HFA and pimples

I have been on Advair 250/50 for 5 years for asthma. I'm a 48 year old female. I have experienced severe hoarsness and my voice is rough sounding. Some days I am so hoarse that others have a hard time understanding me. I have had 5 kidney stones in the last 5 years, never had one before taking Advair. I had the last one a month ago and it was so large I had to have surgery. I experience nausea about once a day. I seem to always have a headache. I feel tired all of the time. Over the last year I have developed high blood pressure. I have gained 20 pounds. I have rashes on my upper arms that comes and goes. I experience mood swings. The Advair does control my asthma, but these side effects are too much anymore, especially the hoarseness. I am going to ask my doctor for other solutions.

I was just researching the effects of going off of Advair and stumbled across this website...thank goodness! I was rather shocked to hear all of the symptoms that I have been experiencing and have really been bothering me lately, to the point that I have been considering going to see my doctor to see if there was something wrong with me.

I have had asthma all my life (now 29) and have been on Advair 250, 4 puffs a day for the past 2 years solid, with no breaks. During this time i've been in and out of the hospital and at times, this amount of Advair has not been enough to keep my asthma under control.

As mentioned in a few other posts, I have been getting sick of taking my meds and have woken up some mornings feeling absolutely fine. Just this week I stopped taking my meds and I'm now on day 5 with no meds. However, the little side effects i've been experiencing are very weird. First and far most...my face has been swollen and I have a ton of tiny little pimples all over my face and neck that are itchy and red. I don't think that people can notice them, except for the redness, but it is very uncomfortable.

Has anyone else gone off of Advair after been on for a long time and experienced any side effects?

Does anyone know if anyone has experienced an itchy head (scalp and forehead) with small pimples or something like that? Terribly itchy, and started after starting Advair, but have no way of knowing if related. Does anyone know?

All I've taken is one dose of advair and trust me one dose was enough. After inhaling the 100/50 advair, I got severe attackacardia and felt all of my blood vessels brach out on the left side of my body. Now I feel continuos "pins and needles" throughout my body and have tiny wart-like "pimples" on my skin. Does anyone know of a remedy for this? Does the advair ever leave your blood stream?"
