I was on Advair only a few days before both my ankles swelled, making walking painful. I threw it out. Dr. put me on Pulmicort. Much better; no side-effects. If you research it, most of these medications have a laundry list of side-effects. Some people will experience them, some not. I asked the nurse practitioner why she didn't tell me about the ankle swelling side-effect. She said she didn't think about it because hardly anyone on Advair experiences that. Well, I did!

Thanks so much for the info. I quit the Serevent and cancelled the tests the doc scheduled. Only been 24 hrs. and already feeling better. Will check into the Pulmicort and Asmanex. Thanks again! :o)
