I used Advair (or Symbicort) for 20 years until I finally started getting lung infections. Quit on my own and it cleared up right away. I was using Spiriva also and am now ready to try going without. I am having the eye problems associated with it.I used Advair (or Symbicort) for 20 years until I finally started getting lung infections. Quit on my own and it cleared up right away.

Excema on my eyes and mouth

Breo and Advair helped, but the Excema I had as a child for few years behind the knees and inside my arms came back at age 62. It’s come back on my eyes and all around my mouth, it’s debilitating. I am a working actress and can no longer accept auditions for fear I can’t commit to dates.Breo and Advair helped, but the Excema I had as a child for few years behind the knees and inside my arms came back at age 62.

Comparison between alk phos bone specific range compared to non specific which would include liver etc.

I have a question about the range comparison between alk phos non specific to alk phos bone specific I know we have issues with bone mets, and also I'm trying to figure out the comparison to liver ALP1 since liver affecting meds are involved. Anything to educate me would help.

RLS with pain

I have suffered with RLS most of my adult life. It was in our family long before it had a medical diagnosis or a name. Our name got it was “ nervous legs”. My mother had it, I had it and now my two sisters have it. Occasionally my son and daughter also have it. It sounds genetic but actually it is notI have suffered with RLS most of my adult life.

France tightens (further) rules on sale of paracetamol and ibuprofen

I thought this of possible interest given the many discussions about availability of thyroid hormones in France and elsewhere. And anyone going to France might find it useful to know.

Good morning! I am in need of advice of what take to sleep. I have tried Advil PM and 10 mg of Ambien. Both have me up at midnight. I’m healing from radiation which makes it challenging.

Minor pain relief while taking Eliquis

Slept very poorly last night. Besides the anxiety depression and ibs several doctors have told me in the past they are pretty sure I have fibromyalgia.

Aorta?

After being on 80 mg for a while for GCA probably 10 days on now back to 60 because I didn't notice a lot of difference and I had my eyes checked and they were okay and I'm just so afraid of that high a dose.
