Asthma

[Guest guest]

There is a fairly new medication available for asthma

sufferers called

Singulair (Merck) that has proven very effective

in reducing swelling (stuffiness)

and inflammation and excess

mucus secretions in the airways by acting as a leukotriene inhibitor.

ACCOLATE is another drug

which is the same thing and when I asked my allergist about ACCOLATE,

she said SINGULAIR has a better safety profile.

Do you know how to access the discussion message boards

and learn more about any topic? Go to

http://www.deja.com/ . For asthma, type in

" alt.support.asthma " in the search slot and hit

the find key - it will take you to to the asthma

discussion boards. That how I first learned about

SINGULAIR.

My son Also did not test positive to milk products. I will try it, Any clue

Well,

I wouldn't have believed it...but I met a doctor who worked with chemotherapy

patients at Denver Children's hospital building them up with vitamins. I had

mentioned the trouble we were having trying to get my son's asthma under

control. She said --take him off milk products. That asthma is a muscle spasm

of the lungs and that dairy products cause muscle spasms in the body.

It took us about a week (trial and error) to get him off all milk products, but

the improvement was amazing. Then he only had asthma attacks when he

inadvertently had some milk. Now he has outgrown the problem with milk (10

years later) and can have what ever he wants.

It is certainly worth a try and not harmful in any way.

I also wonder how many kids are also reacting to low blood sugar in combination

with the ocd. I know when my son gets that snarly, anxious attitude--I force

him to eat and he usually calms right down.

I am not saying that is the answer, but it might help in some cases.

Hi , I've also noticed this about my daughter when she's hungry. I do

all I can to have meals and snacks available at regular times, she pays

quite a price in symptom level when she's over hungry. And as you say, it's

night and day 15 minutes after she eats, suddenly she can cope again.

They sure are! I have asthma too and I'd far rather have an asthma attack

than for my kid to have one. For me the scariest times are when I'm not

with her and I get a phone call from her school or her teenage sister who's

babysitting and they say, " She's having an asthma attack and it's really

bad. " Then as I drive frantically I'm worrying that who ever is with her

may not know when they really need to call an ambulance. Very scary stuff!

Just read your post.

My son get " the shakes " periodically and as soon as he eats something they

go away. They start at his feet and work their way up. He can feel it

coming on. Wonder if it's blood sugar?

Yes,

This was always a nightmare for me...although he never had a bad one at school.

I did find out that the school was forcing him to rush his inhaler and we

removed him from the school.

I have had astyhma my entire life and you probably know this but just

in case. Make sure you are taking something besides albuterol.

Albuterol or ventolin (Same thing) fix the tight feelings, but don't

fix the asthma . I built up scartissue in my airways for taking

ventolin about 4X a day for years. Now I only need it when I 'm sick

with a chest cold. Also, some people who have exercise induced

asthma need to take one puff of ventolin 15 minutes before beginning

exercise and than they will have no symptoms. Sorry for those of you

who have heard this, but in April I couldn't run for 30 seconds

straight without needing an inhaler and now I run and run and run

without. I did a 5K and will be doing a 10K soon. Finally at 40 I

can run!!!!

Hi Ron,

have some bodywork

done first, to relax the systems and then have

an adjustment, it is easier to adjust and the

adjustments last a lot longer. I have been seeing

a chiropractor since I was 6, I go usually 2 x a month,

more often if I am needing it.

A few years ago I bought a foam roll, its about 6 "

across and 36 " long, made of a molded foam, you

lay on your back and it gives pressure into the

thoracics opening the chest, so you really get the

back and the front opened at the same time, it is

incredibly relaxing and helps me breathe better and

stand taller. there are so many things we can do

to help along the process.

I have experienced the traction table, and would

not equate it to bodywork, its traction, and the

percussor is certainly relaxing, and again, you

are softening the tissues around the spinal area,

which is connected to the entire fascial system,

and sure it feels good, and again, would not equate

it to an hour massage.

Maybe its just perception, being a massage therapist

and knowing what is being done and what it feels like

and going to a Chiropractor I have an opinion. The one

Chiropractor I did see years ago, had very few clients

and his treatments lasted sometimes 2 hours, he

would use the percussor over areas of the entire

body, did NAET and some other things, and then

adjusted, that was very relaxing and I would put up

there with a massage, a 5 minute quickie ....no.

from Dale, Mom to Katy, CVID, age 19

, the way Katy copes with fatigue is by going into hyper-mode.

We couldn't figure out why her neck muscles hurt so much -- but

discovered that she was holding herself so tightly to keep from giving

into the fatigue that is was causing pain. When she would finally go to

bed, I would massage her back for what seemed like hours before she

could relax. Now, I recognize that hyper laugh and pushing beyond her

limits -- but it took a while to learn what it looked like and recognize

what was behind it. I actually was fooled by it for a while --

thinking she had plenty of energy -- but just the opposite was true.

So... if you suspect that he's pushing beyond his limits, you might try

to suggest quieter, lighter activity so that he doesn't fatigue so much.

These kids get sick and tired of being sick and tired and they sometimes

push unwisely.

Hope that helps,

In His service,

Dale

Hi , We found that Lucas becomes very hyper when he is over tired or

fatigued.. It is his way of compensating when you has low energy. He generally

spends more time on the floor and has mini tantrums or big ones when he is

very fatigued. I wonder where the energy comes from but he goes into hyper

drive.

After his infusion he has soo.... much more energy but does not act hyper.

You are so right, Dale, does this. I have had to work with his tutor

so she understands that when he is hyper, he is usually tired. He just doesn't

ever want to give in!!

Make a solution of 2 ounces colloidal silver (25 to 50 ppm) and mix it with 3/4

tsp pure MSN powder and use this formula in a breathing nebulizer. It will hold

about 1/4 ounce so you will have enough for a number of treatments. Works

great. Also asthma is a sign of chronic dehydration and is a hystamine

reaction. Drink water.

The Sun Ancon chi machine is wonderful to improve or eliminate asthma. It

improves or eliminates just about every health issue. My neighbor and her son

have allergies and she has asthma. She bought a guinni pig for her son for

Christmas and they both had tremendous problems triggered by this pet. I took

my

chi machine over for them to use and within 24 hrs. they both improved and

she no longer had to use an inhaler for her asthma even with the pet there!!!

They got rid of the pet. The chi machine works!!! If you want more info, let

me know.

good, im glad that you could recover and get past it.

i get this feeling every single time i do cardio (i have been asthmatic all

of my life and take meds every day so this is nothing new). i dont sweat

the mild asthma symptoms and just keep working and they normally pass for

me too after about 10 minutes or so. if they do progress to that

suffocating feeling then i curse myself for pushing too hard. im always

aiming to work in the area between the two states. it is funny because im

wondering if i really need to get a heart rate monitor or not because i am

so used to going by how im breathing as a gauge of intensity.

Belinda,

How frightening! has been showing signs of exercise-induced asthma

in addition to his regular old garden variety asthma. One day at school, he

had an attack after playing football. They made him walk all the way to the

office to get his inhaler. I was told that they would send the inhaler to him

if

he was having difficulty with breathing. So, we have addressed this with the

school.

And the entire time I was thinking, he won't have an attack--he so rarely

does!! I hope Cassie is better?
