Common Questions and Answers about Flovent weight loss
flovent
I am already aware of Gastric Bypass Surgery intended for use in weight loss. I have a family member who underwent this procedure. He lost the weight and has also put his Diabetis under control.
Interstingly enough I have not heard of the Xsophy procedue yet. Sounds like a good tool to aide in surgery with less complications for the patient . Minimal inscisions are always a plus too.
I am 36 and diagnosed with asthma in 1999. Since then, I have used Flovent 4 times daily and my weight increased rapidly; I have gone up 8 sizes and I exercise daily. Two or three years ago, I started experiencing edema in my feet and I soon developed an underactive thyroid. I experienced bipolar-like mood swings and the edema increased. I went to three different endos who were not very helpful.
They said start with Xopenex (4-6x a day) and give him Flovent once in the morning and once at night. Do this for about 1-2 days. But doesn't it take weeks for Flovent to kick in? Why would they have me do it like this. How could it help him for only 1-2 days?

Within days of stopping the flovent again the rash was back, even worse than the first time. I strongly suspect that the flovent (or I should say stopping the flovent) is the cause of the rash and that the use of the flovent supresses it. The pediatrician had not heard of this and subsequently referred us to a dermatologist. I know if will take several weeks to get an appointment with the dermatologist.
my thyroid is trashed;I have blood sugar issues and gained a ton of weight;I feel like I am going to vomit sometimes. I think I really am going to die sooner than later. And the doctors are not helping me one bit,especially the endos,who think "it's all in my head." I go to a new primary next month.

I'm sorry your daughter is going through this. My 3 year old son was diagnosed late this summer with EE. He's been on flovent since August, and it's really working towards getting him to eat and gain weight. However it's turned him into a very aggressive, very mean little boy. Does anyone know of any other medicine out there that won't cause such a reaction?

My daughter is 8 yrs 5 months. I noticed pubic hair shortly after her 8th birthday, and today I noticed underarm hair. She has had some body odor issues, and had has 2 bouts of small acne breakouts on her face during 2nd grade. I have not noticed breast buds. I would consider her average height and weight. She has a long history of chronic respiratory infections/pneumonia's, and has had 2 left thorcatomies over the last 3 years to remove a bronchogenic cyst from her chest cavity.
What medicines have you or your children been on for this? My 3 year old son was just diagnosed with EE this past August, and he's been using Flovent 1 puff twice a day since then. The last month or two I've noticed that he has been extremely aggressive, agitated, and just plain mean and disrespectful. I am 100% sure it is due to the Flovent. Is there an alternative I should be asking for? Will all of the EE medicines give his just such a reaction since they are all going to be steroids?
flovent and serevent. Flovent is a corticosteroid for inflammation and serevent is a long acting bronchodialator. Serevent is the drug that can interfere with heart rhythm.
When I started having symptoms in April, I stopped using Advair and now I only use Flovent. When I saw my pulmonologist I told him that I was only taking flovent (he had given me a prescription for both to use when my asthma got really bad.) He agreed with my decision.
