ADVAIR WARNING from a previous user:

 

 

Dear Jan,

 

I read the whole pamphlet that came with Advair

and never saw anything in it about a messed up menstrual cycle. A nurse finally

told me that was one of the side effects! I haven’t had a period

normally or even a period at all sometimes, in the last three years. No

wonder I couldn’t get pregnant. There were other symptoms that I

had that I asked the doctor about and he would always tell me that it was not

the medication. Some of the things that they admit Advair can cause are:

 

High blood pressure - I never got to the

hypertension level but was always close

Rapid heart rate - My resting heart rate

is in the 90's

Weight gain - Since I started taking

advair I went from 140 to 195

Moon face - My face definitely was rounder

but I just thought it was because I was gaining weight

Anxiety and Depression - I really

experienced these - Thought I was going to die almost every day - I guess

advair attacks your adrenals so you are always in the fight/flight mode

Trouble breathing - Crazy that an asthma

med could make your breathing worse!

Trouble sleeping - I always wake up 5

times a night

Joint pain and bone density issues -

My back is always messed up

 

Some of these are listed in the pamphlet

but my doctors would always say " the medicine is not the problem "

that only happens in 1% of patients and they just put those things in there to

protect them from a lawsuit. "

 

I still think that doctors can do some

good but I will never trust them as much as I used to. I have never had to

fight so hard to be heard and I feel like I am the one that has had to diagnose

and fix myself. I am just thankful that God has been guiding me.

 

Over the past 3 years I have probably

taken 30 different supplements and have done so much with my naturopath, and I

just think my body could not start healing until it was off this medication. I

took adrenal support for over a year and it did nothing for me. It is like

all I could do was try to deal with the medication in my system. Now

that it is gone I will try some of those things again. Thank goodness that is

the only medication I was taking.

 

I am telling you all of this just incase

you come across another person that takes this medication. So many of the side

effects can manifest themselves in anxiety so I think that is why even the EFT

did not seem to work for me sometimes, because my body could never get into a

relaxed or focused state.
