Steroids are often worse than the disease it treats. Advair almost killed me. By the way, steroids harm your immune system. And - reputable doctors are no long using Adviar 500. And in Februrary the FDA came out with a warning about Advair. They said it should only be used when nothing else worked and, even then, it should only be used short term.
Maybe you need another doctor.
Sorry mistake there I was on prednisone for 25 years than advair so around 1993 I think I went on advair
