I have a long (past) history of asthma and bronchitis and other sinus problems. My term was always elephants sitting on my chest. One of the things I have been told is to avoid salt (therefore processed foods) because the salt clogs up/thickens the fluids in the respiration system (lemonade mix comes to mind as their specific example). I so identified with what you wrote about trying to get back on your feet and breath. And there is hope. I have not had a case of bronchitis in years and years now.(in fact not a cold either) I used to average three bad cold into bronchitis monster sicknesses EACH winter – one right after the other that never really went away until the sun baked it out of me in the summer. As a child I was not tested for allergies and not treated for asthma allergies. I am on three meds – every day of the year and now know to avoid my allergy triggers (animals was a big one – I grew up with cats and dogs and now know that I am allergic to both). I hope you feel better soon. and congrats on even TRYING to go to class - it is so hard when you can't breathe!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-56337689766473059682009-01-13T04:55:00.000-05:002009-01-13T04:55:00.000-05:00Love the positive message in this ost! :)Love the positive message in this ost! :)Becky Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595020500346331076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-40747305530503603002009-01-12T18:33:00.000-05:002009-01-12T18:33:00.000-05:00Yes, all we need is love :)I, too, have to work o...Yes, all we need is love :)<BR/>I, too, have to work on the negative self-talk.
