Hmm, I'm curious about the Qvar as well. Might hafta check into that.

I finally gave up on my Advair as well due to the negative effect on my vocal cords...

I'm a fitness instructor and not having my voice to cue class properly just suxed. Plus it didn't feel so great. I tried the powder and inhailer forms. And got the mouth sores from the powder also. Yep, tried rinsing, brushing teeth, eating, anything... nuthin helped. I am def worse off without it. Dunno how that's gonna go with outdoors blooming like crazy. I'm coughing on the mic part of teaching class too.

Simbicort made me too heart racey. My DD takes Pulmacort. Worked well for years for her. Don't think the Singular helped too much.

OK.... OP... do you take your rescue inhailer at least 15mins before you begin to ride / exercise for cardio?

That's part of my asthma action plan. If I don't do that, I'm totally screwed. Yikes, I still got a problem teaching sprints in spin class the other day. It was lil scary. Especially when I had to keep on working to teach the full house of students, ugh.

Just remember... your disease should / does not define your life... keep searching until you get a solution... where there is a will, there is a way.

Good Luck!
