I was the guest #37893 I forgot to mention one other side effect. I had to have extensive sinus surgery last april and now I am sc hedulled to have the same surgery this March 2007. My ENT Dr. told me that the sinus problems should not have come back for at least 5 years. I blame the Advair on this. I did not realize that it caused these problems until I went on its site. I have sinus problems, cattaracts, spine curvature, and eosinophilia pneumonia all because of this drug.

i was on advair for about 4 months, i too experienced many of the side effects mentioned.
i had hoarsenss, thrush, sores on my gums and tongue.
my body i experienced hip pain and immobility, arthritis in pinky. i am very active in sports, i noticed muscle weakness in my abdomen, i also noticed i couldn;t get ripped like i used to while on advair, and a sagginess and roundness to my face. also experienced back pain/ache due to the advair. i noticed i tended to get injured much more quickly. i felt i constantly had to exercise to maintain my strength.
also frequent urination and slow urination, dribble etc.
then i tried serevent and flovent, almost all the same symptoms, got off of that
also had sinus problems, , when i got off advair, it's been around 4-5 months the side effects are all gone.
right now , i'm not on any meds except albuterol inhaler, it's been tough, but i am experimenting with other alternatives.

I've been off and on Advair for two years. I'll take myself off of it cause I don't like what it does but then the asthma goes nuts. So far I've been on this for three days - 2 doses per day of the 250/50. Massive joint pain like I have the flu, dizzy, ear-ache, nausea, sore-throat, hoarsness, headache, lethargy. I am also on Zyrtec every day 1 pill to control post-nasal sinus drip which kicks off an asthma attack. One more note. I moved to Massachusetts 6 years ago from Alabama. I had two sinus problems a year in Bama - bronchitis type stuff and that was it. I was diagnosed with Asthma 2 years after moving to Massachusetts.

Using Advair for the past 6 months, considerable weight gain, frequent bloody nose, sinus problems abound, sore throat, ears hurt--asthma control great, no rescue inhaler necessary. Stopped taking the Advair and symptoms disappeared!

Been on Advair only a few months. MY mouth is on fire and I awake to my tongue almost sticking to the roof of my mouth. I never really had asthma but I started with a cough after a bad case of bronchitis. I started with Albuterol and the advair next.

Has anyone else had problems with their mouth. Doesn't look like Thrush but it sure hurts.
