I have had asthma since I was about 7 years old. It is a bitch. Advair is a pretty high end medicine. I take it and it works great, but I have pretty advanced asthma. A couple things you should do. As Jane said see an Asthma specialist, there might be a milder medicine you can take. Also cut as much dairy from your diet as possible. I used have milk on cereal every day and ate things like ice cream and cheese and other dairy products. About 4 years ago I gave it all up and it helped a bunch. Dairy triggers asthma and creates mucus which makes it hard to breathe. Go soy, it doesn't taste the same, but you get used to it.
It is possible you may just need to adjust your diet and then use an inhaler when you need it instead of taking regular medicine. Asthma can be a bitch, but today the medicine is so much better than it was back in the late 70's when I was first diagnosed.
