I actually just started Advair (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) a couple weeks ago, after decades of not wanting to deal with a maintenance inhaler. I was starting to need my rescue inhaler way too often so I went for it, and I’m surprised how awesome it’s been. It’s one puff of a weird-tasting powder twice a day, but I haven’t used my rescue inhaler a single time since I started it.

Symbicort's sick too. The fact you did well on only a corticosteroid (flutciasone) makes me wonder (if you have the option or Advair became not a choice availabillity-wise) if a single-corticosteroid med would do it in future. Keep us posted
