His asthma was clearly not under control and the wheezing was bad. I finally convinced him to go see his pulmonary doctor, who switched him to Advair. It has been nothing short of miraculous. Just two inhalations per day and I never hear him wheezing. It is a very rare day when he feels the need to use his Combivent. This medication has literally changed his life. I encourage anyone who has uncontrolled asthma to give Advair a chance. It may make all the difference for you as it has for my husband.Kassienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-77524992046780118532010-06-13T00:29:03.206-04:002010-06-13T00:29:03.206-04:00My dislike for symbicort spawns from the fact that...My dislike for symbicort spawns from the fact that it doesn't really give me good control.
