Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "This drug helped greatly to reduce my coughing and breathing. Then I started feeling pain in my feet, then in my legs and hands and headache. Every day it was worse. To test my theory, I stopped the drug, but on the second night, I was coughing a great deal again, and it was preventing me from sleeping, so I took it again. That night, the pain was severe muscle cramps in my legs, toes, and feet. The next day I was nauseous and had a headache."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I'm stopping this drug immediately. I'm sitting awake again with the most severe foot and toe cramps that I have had in my life. I had an asthma flare a month ago and started taking Flovent again, and my gosh the pain and foot cramps are too much. I'll find anything to take other than this. I have lost sleep every time I take it. No more. I'd rather just have attacks and go to emergency. I need to sleep. This drug is dangerous for some of us. I used to take this, no problems, a few years ago, and now I can't even take it. I have mild asthma and transverse myelitis. I'll ask for a different maintenance medication."
