Thanks for the reply, cupcake. Have been on asthma meds for 45 yrs and relocation to a different climate during the last 4 years has helped about as much as anything. Good to know that xolair may not be the answer either. Just know that after 18 months of feeling crappy while using advair - granted i could definitely breathe easier -
i have weaned off of it over a period of 3 weeks. Been 2 weeks without it now and I'm waking up in the middle of the night again because of the wheezing but I have returned to Accolate and albuterol inhaler. Have only been hospitalized twice with my asthma so mine is not nearly so severe as some others. I hadn't heard about Qvar or Foradil so I'll study up on those. In a very small town and a far far drive to city so I need to be prepared before I visit doc's office. Again, thanks for the reply. cg
