  Wow Amelia that is so awesome! 

  I have been told my numerous doctors that certain puffers and  the steroids deplete vitamin stores in your body and can inhibit absorption of vitamins and minerals especially when taken regularly. I developed asthma when I smoked (first attack happened when I smoked an ounce of weed in a week - it was a good week despite the asthma attack lol). Anyway, I went through the whole steroids and puffers and I ended up using apple cider vinegar to help with attacks. I don't know why, but it helped both me and Being with our attacks and general congestion feelings. Both of our asthmas improved dramatically when we got rid of home and body environmental toxins too - chemical cleaners, sprays, chemical body care products etc; however, the full "cure" came when we both ceased to smoke. I am not saying any of these things will work for you, just sharing. I wish you much healing and recovery on your journey and I hope you remember to take care of yourself when you need to whether it be through breathing, puffer or whatever!

  I am an asthma sufferer. I have had many very bad attacks. I have been admitted to hospital and put on steroids. But you have hit the nail on the head! I moved out of home at 16 and because I was poor, I didnt have money to fund my medication. I was in denial for a while thinking I could live without it. I would control my breathing through my attacks. Also, black coffee was good for depleting the symptoms. Many hospital trips and steriods later, I have realised that I DO have asthma and that it needs to be treated. As it is a very aggressive chronic strain. However, my friend Jase has done the same thing and has not had to puff on an inhaler for 4 years. He said that the trick was not to register in your brain that you're having trouble breathing, as he felt it was slight panic that triggered it off....change the breathing pattern and get on with other stuff...it will have far less physical effect on you and last a fraction of an hour!! Keep it up and good luck, I'm sure you can gain full control of your own body. I only wish I could have done the same. I still use the breathing techniques and black coffee sometimes to avoid steroids.

    Why are you talking like you can't try again?

  Thanks for all the support. I gave up later in the evening because I started to get exhausted, but I do know that I can do it now. I feel that the more I practice, the stronger my lungs will get.

    Well, technically any asthma symptom is an "attack." The terms for asthma are a bit melodramatic...
    
    Thanks a lot. =)
