I can hardly tell I am inhaling anything. Does that happen to you? I am feeling better and have to think the prednisone is working. Thank God! I was feeling really lousy for quite some time. Have a great day! Al > Hi Al, > > I have been on Advair as soon as it came onto the American market, about 18 > months ago.
