Hi Kathy, I think I'm one of the ones who recommended Buteyko Breathing to you. I knew what it did for a friend. It is a shame that it is not well known in the USA and that doctors keep hurting people with steroids. Within a year my friend was asthma and allergy free.
Good luck to you.

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
