Admittedly my little setback over the Thanksgiving weekend bummed me out.
But my recovery was quick. I still need to be careful, I pushed it a little last Tuesday...pilates, grocery store run, then decided to whip up a batch of granola before making dinner. That was a little much. But the rest of the week went smoothly, even got in a little low level cardio on Saturday. We also braved some second-hand smoke and got out into the world on Saturday afternoon for a few hours. I walked. I talked. And I was fine.
Talking has been my big trigger. But I talked to my son yesterday for an hour and a half and didn't have any sort of reaction. THAT's progress!
Just gotta keep sticking to the plan and recognizing my limits. I'm getting to bed early, I think that's helped, eating healthfully, doing my Buteyko exercises, taking my supplements, spacing out my activities. The result seems to be increased recovery time. I think I'm finally getting ahead of this thing!
Here I am, the health nut, and whammo! Suddenly my lungs don't work. WTF? This is a chronicle of my drug-free recovery from whatever the hell this is...my ups and downs, my search for answers, my battles with the traditional medical biz. If you suffer from asthma or other breathing issues, I hope you'll find some information and inspiration in these postings. There can be recovery without steroids and bronchodialators!
