I have never experienced life without being aware of my breathing.I don't breathe naturaly and have to put an effort into breathing My throat is permantley full of mucus and I get a sore throat every time the temperature goes up or down Dampness or dryness also effect me But over the years I have learnt to cope with my condition.I can only go out during the (WARM PERIOD) between APRIL and SEPTEMBER) I feel good after a shower of rain when the air becomes cleaner.I keep away from light and heat from the sun (I LOVE THE WARM WEATHER) but I have this inner feeling that the body tells me to be very careful with high temperatures as they can bring on bouts of severe breathlessness. I listen to my inner self and realised that my body was stressed out and It was urgent that I should give myself a chance of coping with my permanent untreatable desease I did a course on meditation with a guru from India and gradualy learnt other alternative remedies including SELF HYPNOSIS NLP SUBLIMINAL AFFIRMATIONS CREATIVE VISUALISATIONS AND YOGA . Over the years I learnt what the right thing for me to do to cope with my condition and stick to it every day without failI If you saw me today you would not be aware of my condition except that I wheeze with a loud noise which is very embarrassing but I am happy with what I have been able to do as the experts told me to expect to live to about forty years old and here I am at eighty one years old and still fighting to stay in this beautiful world see you soon(I hope)
