How to get my asthma completely under control
How I did it: Had to switch docs due to insurance changing with a new job. Dropped the advair, kept the Singulair and added Zyrtec. Yay! Now I can make it through sprint and endurance drills at roller derby practice (even in the super-damp rink.
Lessons & tips: Be persistent

I have made so much inprovment. Not like my old self but getting there. The Warmer weather has been helping and whenever I feel like Im getting another flu like this weekend I get into the good old fashon veggie soup and vits.
Well its a week on and i must say my Asthma is 20% better, however I have done so much coughing its very painful to breath deep. But Ill keep trying. I cant wait till i get to my normal healthy self again.
For this Past three Months my Asthma has been out of control.
I have now got my third cold in three months and my Asthma has given my so much grieve.
Its as If my Childhood has come back to remind me how back it could be.
Its not like I smoke, I don’t have any Ice Cream and Milk Products and Have been watching what I eat including Colorings in Food.
I make sure I’m wrapped up when I’m in the cold and don’t burn the Candle at both ends.
Despite me trying to do all the right Things, and taking various Medication (Witch I know has kept my out of Hospital, Its very frustraighting.
The Most Frustraighting thing I have found is when I get back into exercise, (In a Gym where I’m not around cold Air) Two weeks pass and I’m back to Sq2 one. If anyone with Asthma that has got some good ideas I would really like to know.
I’ve started exercising regularly, and have found that I can run(!!!) without inducing an asthma attack at all. I still carry the inhaler on me, as I suspect the attacks are more related to what season it is (and what allergens are in the air) when I’m exercising than just whether I am exercising or not… but I haven’t NEEDED it for awhile now. :D
Doing a lot better. Taking Singulair every day, and my albuterol inhaler is always in my backpack if I need it. Still doesn’t prevent me from getting wheezy when I’m, say, speed-walking uphill to get to class… but it’s a good start. The lack of cold weather helps immensely too. :)
I’ve had asthma for about 15 years and had found it getting worse. Someone told me about a documentary they saw on the Butekyo Breathing Technique and it seemed worth a go. I bought the books and DVD online to learn what to do and I swear that within one day I didn’t need my inhaler anymore and haven’t used it since I started to learn to breath properly.
I urge anyone to check out their website. If you can’t find any classes to attend locally, its pretty easy to self-learn.
