For the past couple of months I have not had the energy or inspiration to do most things that I used to do. It takes every effort not to stay in bed all day. My joints ache, my gastro intestinal tract is a mess, no energy, no desire to do anything..including socially... have basically quit drinking, which at one time was beginning to be too controlling in my life, start projects and they're all half finished... I also have a taste in my mouth that's not pleasant but undescribeable... my esophagas feels as tho it has a hole in it and I have more and more acid reflux...
I read some of these symptoms from other users... and wonder what is the alternative to the inhaler. I have been off of it now for three days and feel somewhat better, but not where I want to be.

Yes, all your symptoms have been reported as possible side effects of Advair.
See: http://www.drugs.com/cons/advair-hfa.html
The side-effects are probably most likely to be related to fluticasone, the steroid component of the inhaler, especially if you have been taking it for some time.
Talk with your doctor about how you are feeling.
There are other asthma medications which may suit you better.
