See my thread 'Gabapentin' in the medication section, Flovent is the steroid in Advair.

Frankly I'm so confused right now I'm not sure what is going on but I can tell you that for the past year I've seen over and over that a higher dose of Flovent causes more burning and pain. I've also stopped it a couple of times and felt it travel down the nerve and cause a burst of pain when I restarted it. I recently had shingles and it did the same thing when the infection was acute, after I took my dose I could feel it move down the nerve and burn.

That said, I may have something going on with my other med that is involved and I've had some immune issues that may be a factor as well, I really don't know. Things seem to resolve when I stop it so you could just try Advair and dc it if it bothers you.
