For Asthma, Maintenance "I had been on Qvar for a couple of years. I didn’t realize for a while, but when the inhaler changed to the RediHaler, my health went downhill. My thyroid was affected, and I ended up with adrenal fatigue as well. No appetite, and after 9 months, I was dropping weight fast. What finally clicked was my super, super dry mouth-thrush. I started researching and found that the RediHaler can have side effects, but they are rare. The day after I stopped this medication, my appetite was back. 2 1/2 months later, my energy is slowly getting back to normal, but I need to rest a lot."

For Bronchitis "I've been on Qvar 40 mg, 2 shots twice a day for over 12 months. My morning cough disappeared when I first started taking Qvar, then after several months it started again. I've also noticed that I've been having more sinus issues and respiratory infections: flu-like symptoms. I'm 66 and usually never get sick, but I believe Qvar has compromised my immune system. I've also noticed a lack of energy and upper back pain and muscle aches in my thighs. My voice has been affected also. I don't know why my doctor has me on twice the recommended dosage. I have early stages of emphysema. I wonder if the side effects of Qvar are worth it... I'm going to stop Qvar and see what happens. I'm tired of feeling sick and rundown."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Initially, my breathing improved, but within a few weeks, the improvement disappeared. Within a month, I was having major side effects, including fatigue and headaches. My kidney function decreased markedly. It took weeks after stopping Qvar to recover from the experience."
