    most of your inhalers have those warnings now. I know that I was told to rinse after using my Qvar as well. Believe me mouth sores from inhalers is NO fun. I don't always pay for forgetting to rinse, but there are times I do.
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    The instructions just say to rinse your mouth out after use, not gargle, but maybe I should do that. I do not want a yeast infection in my mouth or anywhere else!!!

    Some great news: About 30 mins. after my dose of Advair this morning, I tried my peak flow meter. I blew a 390, my highest ever!!!! I blew 320 this weekend, and my norm is around 350. Wow wow wow! My doctor was right, and I am loving this already!

    I can hardly wait to go mountain biking tomorrow night!!!

    I find it makes me feel a tiny bit jittery, though. Anyone else?

    Hooray - it feels great to breath doesn't it ? ? ?

    I don't notice anything w/ my advair and he jumped my dose to 500/50 but I do notice it quite often on Albuterol.

    Also I just rinse I don't gargle and haven't had any problems but again each mouth is different and sensitive to different things


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    Yes, whenever I've needed an inhaler, it does make me a bit jittery and sends my heart racing shortly after. As I recall, though, the jitters pass after a few more minutes.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
