I know sometimes it takes quite awhile to get asthma under control. It is important to take asthma medicines the way your doctor tells you to: when my daughter doesn't her symptoms get really bad too. Also, if the medicine doesn't seem to be working you should definitely tell your doctor because different treatments work better for different people. I hope you feel better.

in my childhood i saw a friend suffered from asthma. I heard from her that yoga is a good treatment for asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory system in which the airway occasionally constricts, becomes inflamed, and is lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers

If your asthma symptoms have been bothering you for two months straight, you may need to have you doctor adjust the strength of your Advair. Are you checking your peak flows and using a fast acting inhaler such as Albuterol, as well? Also, make sure that you avoid exposure to possible triggers such as dust, pollen, mold, etc.
