... the air ways open? I'm just starting qvar & advair together and my body feels sore like when I take prednisone. As if it's fighting to keep the air ways open. Is this normal?

This is a great question. Looking back when I started Advair it felt like it was ripping the "Junk" out of my lungs. After I got that junk out I felt so much better. This is a great drug and if it works as well for you as it did for me, you will feel great as soon as it really gets down into the lungs.
The price on the Advair is high, I wish that someday they would lower it as the R&D gets paid off.
Wishing you Good Health

Thank you for your comment I will keep trying it and hopefully my results are as goos as yours. It could also be the qvar with the advair that is hurting my lungs but I think I will try just the advair first then add the qvar after my body is used to the advair if needed. Thanks
