I work with a great many kids with asthma. I often use breathing techniques for anxiety calming/regulation. If I could also incorporate some techniques that would help with the asthma too that would be amazing.

Some of you wonderful people sent me ideas, suggestions, etc. One of the suggestions (although I tried alot of them) was the Buteyko Breathing Method. Out of desperation, about a month ago, I ordered the book off ebay and began the breathing techniques. I've been doing the breathing techniques about 3 weeks now, and I'm much better! I could tell a big difference in just a week! Since Nov of 2010, till three weeks ago, I had shortness of breath so bad, I couldn't function, I was on prednisone, nebulizer 4 times a day along with the 'rescue' inhaler. My Dr. told me that I am taking all they have to offer. The Buteyko Method has cut my Nebulizer down to 1 time a day with half the solution, rescue inhaler, maybe once a day, and I'm off predisone! I'm thrilled with the results. (I can't run a race) but I'm back to cleaning my house and doing my house work. >Anyway, I wanted to say ''thank you' to all of the ones that offered their >imput, I always go to the silver list to see what regular people are saying >about disease, etc. Thanks again.......Kathy
