Thanks for your help.

Did you have a problem with Singular - the reason I am asking is that I had my feet and hands swell from taking it.

Thanks so much for your reply.

According to my doctor she had absolutely never heard of anyone having problems from taking Singular - especially swelling.

I dont know what dr you have but mine told me its a common side effect from this med!!!! Look it up and do your research then print out your findings and take it to your dr! Show them that YOU are in control of your treatment not them!!! Let them know your not going to deal with it if you have options!!!!!!! It made my dr change my meds very quickly!!!! email me privatly if you'd like to talk further!

Donna, I experienced extreme fatigue and severe *pins and needles* when taking Singulair. FYI...everyone is different but, their are definitely side affects. I agree with Carol, YOU take control of your asthma and YOU make the choices. Remember, the majority of MD's are not scientists, so, they are " spoon-fed " most info on diseases and medications. IMHO....

> I use accolate instead of singular!!!

If you've been on it a number of years, at your next check-up ask the

doc to check your liver enzymes. Accolate has a known side effect of

raising them and if left to continue to climb can lead to all sorts of

medical problems. Just last year, after about 10 or so years on

Accolate, my counts were sky high, but within 3 months after switching

to Singulair they were back to normal levels.

When this med was first released they cautioned people about this

happening and my son's pulmonologist did bloodwork every visit for the

first few years, to be safe, but even he switched everyone off of it

that he could when Singulair became available.
