"I've had a lifetime of experience with all kinds of asthma products. I was diagnosed when I was about 4. Growing up, the other kids called me Wheezer. Much to my parents' dismay, I tried to ignore my asthma. You don't want to have to think about breathing.

"Now I own a real estate company. It's a business where first impressions are key. So if I'm out showing properties or dealing with clients on the phone, it's embarrassing to start coughing and wheezing.

"When the doctor said I have something for you to try, I started using ADVAIR twice a day, every day. Now breathing feels natural. This year, I did something I haven't been able to do for years. I blew out the candles on my birthday cake. ADVAIR keeps me going."

"I had asthma as a baby, and for a while I even thought I grew out of it. I was playing sports, riding horses. Then when I was 18, the attacks started again. I felt like asthma took my world away. I had lots of trouble doing the things I loved to do.

"Now I'm a macaroni and cheese production-line operator. I've been working for the same company for 27 years. Sometimes I'd wheeze just walking in from the parking lot. I felt like one of those people you could never count on. Nobody wants to be thought of that way.

"I started taking ADVAIR and feel like I can breathe much easier now. But if I don't take it twice a day, every day, I'll find myself wheezing again. So I remember to take it and now I can do things like drive from Illinois to Texas without using a rescue inhaler once. And my husband and I can just hop on our motorcycles and take off. I don't have to miss the fun."

"I've had asthma for as long as I can remember. As a kid I couldn't do all the things I wanted to. In high school, I tried to be in marching band, but I would get out of breath. I just couldn't keep up.

"After graduation, I became a flight attendant. Even with all the medications I was on, I'd still get out of breath trying to keep up with my crew as we hustled through an airport.

"Now, instead of relying on a bunch of medications to manage my asthma, I just take ADVAIR every day. Once when I put my contacts in and once when I take them out. If I need it, I still use a rescue inhaler. But now one can last over two months.

"With ADVAIR, I can do things I wasn't able to do before, like keep pace with my crew. ADVAIR didn't change my life, it just made keeping up with it easier."

"My asthma isn't very severe. I didn't even know I had it. I just thought I was out of shape. Then about 15 years ago, I was in private practice and one of my clients, who was a pulmonary specialist, turned to me and said, 'You know, you're an asthmatic.' Didn't believe it. Turned out, I was wrong.

"As a kid, I was athletic, but I was always confined by asthma. When I was just getting out of college, the idea of using medications other than on an as-needed basis became more acceptable.

"By the time I moved from Texas to New York, I was carrying around three different drugs, plus a spacer. And three times a day, I'd have to go through this regimen. It felt like I was always taking a puff of this or that. I'm an investment banker, so in a professional setting, it's kind of weird to pull out all these medications. I used to take my medications under my desk so people couldn't see me.

"ADVAIR makes it more convenient. I just take it once every morning and once every night. That's it. I don't have to deal with all those other medications during the day. In fact, most people don't know I have asthma."
