I was put on Advair in Dec 05 for chronic lung inflammation. I do not have asthma. Truth be known nobody seems to know what is wrong with my lungs..... After reading some of the postings, I know I'm not becoming a hyperchrodraic. It seems like every week there is something new wrong with me.
-- By trie | Reply | Private Message meIt started with my lower arms and hands falling to sleep, to really bad cramps in my lower arms that cause my hands to cripple, to having absolutely no feeling whatsoever on occasional mornings. Within the last 3 weeks my feet get really bad cramps and my toes also cripple and spread really wide during bad ones. Hurts like mad. (Just so you know, for the feet cramping if you run hot water in the tub and stand in it while you go up and down on the balls of your feet until the cramps go away they don't come back for the rest of the night.) To continue..... Last week I started getting muscle aches in my calves. This week I have had a headache every morning and nothing seems to get rid of it. I feel so stiff and old. I have also had searing pain shooting through my right ear occasionally. I see my doc tomorrow and demanding to be taken off of Advair. I'll let you know how it goes and if the side effects go away...... TTYL, Trie
