Re: Re: Tomorrow is my Birthday and Advair

[Guest guest]

I find that changing to Advair/Singular made my asthma ago out of

control alot more. I donot know why. My Dr. wants me to take it, but

I want to go back to Serevant and Flovent.My Dr. is suppose to be

the best in this area,... so it is a battle to change his

mind.But,.... it is my asthma.

Wishing you all good breathing days .

I've learned alot about fighting doctors with having a special needs

child now hardly no doctor or nurse wants to deal with me. Sometimes

those degrees really get in the way of helping others.

I have to double my meds when needed but didn't have to do that for too

long just when my lungs decide to give me problems but doubling seem to

work for me with breathing on a daily basis again.

It may be helpful to talk to your doctor about your fears.

===============

I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it, but want to thank you for posting

this. I'm new to asthma and my symptoms don't fit the " typical " symptoms either.

On the rare occassion that that I wheeze, it's on the inhale, not the exhale,

and I also have the feeling that I can't get the air IN. My main symptom is

coughing, though shortness of breath runs a close second.

I really haven't found much info out there at all about " atypical " asthma

symptoms. It makes treatment confusing, doesn't it?

I hope you find a plan that works for you.

I was diagnosed last year. My asthma is a complication of autoimmune

disease. I am taking Vospire twice a day and Singulair at night. I

added two puffs of Aerobid ( or advair.. I alternate them every few

months to avoid reactions) and now it doesn't seem to be working as

well anymore. I am having to use a rescue Combivent inhaler at least

once a day now. My pulmo said to double my meds. But I am wary of

that as I am afraid, if I do react to it from high doses, I won't be

able to take it anymore at all. Have you ever been told to double

dose your meds? How to you manage your asthma? My main symtoms are

severe SOB. I have no wheezing at all. I find myself involuntarily

sucking in deep breaths every so often as my problem is getting air

in.. not letting it out. Any suggestions?

===========

Well, I was on Singulair and had Proventil as a rescue. The Singulair did

nothing though, and I stopped it. I don't have any allergies (had testing last

summer.)

So, all I have right now is the rescue inhaler, which I find I need maybe 2--3

times a week. I only take 1/2 of the dosage though.

I'm also taking licorice root and thyme.

I'm trying to figure out if there's something else I need to be doing--if this

is " too much " proventil or if there is any risk of using it long-term.

> Hi Joan

Thank you. And I, in turn, am sorry you are having problems. What is

your present method of treatment? Do you live where there is a high

pollen count? I think my symptoms have thrown my doc as he really

isn't sure what to do next. That is really scary. As they say on the

National Lung Assoc. site... " when you can't breathe.. nothing else

matters. " Right now, I am just supplementing with my Combivent, but

he says I shouldn't have to do that.
