i did a search and read some threads ... i was put on advair but i am not seeing a difference yet but the doc says it takes about 2 weeks. i wonder if i want to try singular. my albuterol is just about worthless.

mine isn't as serious, it's gotten better as i've got older. i used to have to take albuterol all the time, now most of the time i don't need it.

but, yes i have more trouble coinciding with allergies, usually the start of each season. and it's way more frequent trouble running outside in cold weather, as opposed to warm.

but my bro's is real bad and he uses advair pretty successfully, if that helps, so hang in there. if your doc says two weeks, wait awhile, i'm sure he/she would switch you if it was appropriate.

More problems during the winter is very common in the southern states where there's any humidity...doesn't get cold enough for long enough to kill off the surrounding mold.
