I'm experiencing multiple disturbing symptoms which I suspect are related to Advair Diskus use. For disclosure, I DID NOT follow usage instructions (due to being uninsured and broke) and stretched out use to over a month and a half, using only once a day most of the time -also partially due to the fact that it makes me puke. I used it several months ago for the 1st time and quit after it almost ran out. I quit using it this (2cnd) time about 6 days ago.
I've recently rapidly acquired multiple symptoms, including numbness and tingling in hands, feet, forearms and calves, and literally can't run... walking is difficult, legs are weak, so are arms, and balance is goofy. Also anxious and short-tempered, and harder to concentrate. I was in great shape (other than asthma); now it's hard to get up/down the stairs.
I'm basically disabled at the moment, walking with a cane after falling down twice. Is anyone familiar with these symptoms? Do they go away (I sure hope so), and if so, about how long. Seems like it's been getting worse for a few days. Any specific treatment(s) I should seek? I saw a doc at a free clinic, but he didn't seem to know much about it, and I was so out of it I didn't ask about duration of symptoms.
I'm scared... if this doesn't clear up and/or gets worse, I might need a wheelchair. Oh, lips also feel weird/numb, thought that one symptom seems to have slightly improved -but legs/balance seem to be weaker. Heart/chest feels a little weird, too... kind of hollow.
Would be grateful for any advice/info/reassurance. Thanks in advance. PS, may have already forgot my password, hope there's an option to reset/have it sent to email if this is so.
