Every so often I go through a stage where I get worried about all the meds I take and what their effect on my Cf body will be. So I experiment with stopping this or that and see what happens (never enzymes though, oh no, me and enzymes are like a stamp to a letter). Anyway, when I was pregnant with the baby in 2006 I decided to stop taking my advair. Initially I noticed a change, but I either got used to it, or my lungs did - so it has been about 2 years since I have used it. I also dropped my albuterol to an as-needed basis rather than BID.
ANYWAY -
My PFTs have been on the subtle decline lately - I am on IV meds now hoping to get my baseline 77 (but recently 66) % PFTs on up to maybe even the 80s - what I am wondering if there is any correlation between stopping the adviar and the decline of PFTS over the last two years? Would it be with worth experimenitng with starting it up again?? And what exactly is the advair doing anyway - isn't it a steroid??
opinions???
