After a week back on Advair, I had to go off of it again as my throat was like raw meat and very painful if I spoke or sang. Fungus also.
So, now I am on nothing.
Would it be worth trying Flovent Inhaler plus Serevent discus(the only way we can get it, can't get Advair MDI here either) to see if it was the delivery system causing my grief?
The reason I am willing to try this is that my symptoms were completely
gone, I slept soundly and even my NASAL congestion went away for the first time in years while I was on Advair.
Has anyone else tried this method of delivery? Pricewise it is similar.
Thank you all, I appreciate and need the help.
(BTW, I suggested serevent plus Singulair(already on it) to my pulmonologist and he nixxed it)

If you really think it is the dry powder form of Flovent trying the relatively new Flovent HFA might help. I doubt the Serevent is the problem so it probably doesn't matter. Trying Qvar or Asmanex instead of the Flovent might help. Taking larger doses less frequently (like all 4 puffs once daily instead of 2 puffs twice daily) might also help.

I'm sure he wants you on an inhaled steroid.>

Thanks all for input.
I have Flovent HFA available and decided to take it ONLY, short term to see what happens. After 2 days, sinus drainage is better, no negatives in throat yet!!!
I have mild asthma, so am in early stages of dealing with Doctor , whom is 75 miles away.
You cant get to him, Nurse only, on phone whom INSISTS I will be on Advair, despite my protestations and alternative suggestions.
SInce I have PFT scheduled for Aug 21, and a visit with Doc the same day, my rationale is to try SOMETHING and have the test rather than blow off the whole thing another month or two.( I have been dealing with the Advair problem a couple months-waste of time)
Since I have already been prescribed Flovent(in Advair 250) I dont see how he can be upset with my Flovent 110 (2 puffs BID) as a start.
