Thanks for replying. Yes, I take drugs for hypertension and asthma, but I've been on those for years. Well, come to think of it, I didn't start the Advair until just about the time this hands-swelling thing started happening.... Wonder if that could have anything to do with it....?

I thought about carpel tunnel, but would it be unusual to have it in both wrists?

Hi 13Flamingo. Whatever it was that was making my hands swell (can't believe it's been a year ago!) has gone away. I think it had something to do with the Advair and my body getting used to it, if that's possible. Now I just seem to have some arthritis in the little finger on my left hand, but I flex my hand a few times after waking up and the pain and stiffness soon goes away.

Please post after you've seen your doctor and let us know what the "verdict" is.
