So I caved and went to the MD -

I have severe bronchitis. YAY!

They gave me a few prescriptions, including a steroid inhaler that makes my hands shake...I don't tolerate medication so well!

She warned me that it may be difficult to drive while on the inhaler AND the steroid nasal spray she gave me, but she wants me to take it anyway b/c everything is bad!

Anyone have any experience with either Advair and NasaCort CQ? I need to drive to school AND work, and I don't want to endanger anyone, including me!

Any info? TIA

So sorry to hear you are sick... Didn't you get the okay to stay home for a few days?

I had taken Advair (I think--if its the purple weird inhaler one) and although I was lightheaded when I initially inhaled, it didn't really affect me otherwise.

Wish I could be of more help.

Feel better...

Sorry you're sick! My mom took advair when she had broncitis and it made her soooo sleepy! Everyone reacts differently so just be careful! Hope you'll feel better!!
