Anyone having these side effects from either Advair or Serevent?
weitht gain or inability to lose weight
bloated face and belly
pain in legs and feet, joint and muscles
foot/leg cramps
fatigue
trouble sleeping
back pain
headaches
sinus problems
Doc says the drugs are not to blame and wants to schedule tests. I ask about both drugs because I've been on both, Serevent is Advair without the steroid.

Yep. I just changed to Asmanex (sp?) from Advair due to side effects that included weight gain (well, really major increase in hunger), joint pain and leg/hip/feet pain. All of these symptoms were confirmed by my doctor/nurse as symptoms of the Advair and quickly changed my meds. They specifically said it was the Serevent causing the side effects. These are documented side effects, btw.

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)
