Asthma, Maintenance
"I was prescribed Advair in combination with Spiriva after a bad asthma type attack in 2010 (1 of 3, the 1st in 2001; 2nd in 2007).  I finally went to a Pulmonary Specialist in early 2010. The inhalers combined with a series of oral prednisone helped me to recover fully.  At the advice of my new doctor I continued using the Advair and Spiriva daily.  In 2013 I developed Virtigo and continuous bladder infections, determined that was related to the Spiriva, so I stopped that one.  Several times during the 5  years,I have attempted to stop using Advair.  I think it is addicting in nature; I am unable to breathe without it!   THAT SUCKS....Especially since I was doing fine without any inhalers prior to continued use of Advair."
