lately i been feeling a bit run down

just had child number 2 diagnosed with aspergers , they say its more common in boys - i was really hoping it wouldnt affect him

been having breathing problems lately, wife says i am snoring really bad and i always seem to have a stuffed up nose - some days its fine but most of the time its stuffed - i feel like i have the flu and feel like i am gasping sometimes to breath

i went to the doctor and he gave me a 2 week sampler and it seems like it has aggrivated it more

i seem to be restricting things i love these days, i have given up alcohol for 8 months - havent touched a smoke in 2 years - dont drink caffeine anymore been off it for atleast 12 months, drinking camonmile tea, got myslef some stress formula pills. got a meditation app for my iphone - i really dont know what else i can try

i am trying to shake off this stress but it really eats at me everyday

i havent had an attack for a while which is good - i had a close call a few weeks ago but i got through it

my other new symptoms are a twitch on the left side of my nose and this feeling of movement in my back which feels weird

any ideas guys - my brain has gone into meltdown and cant think of anything else to do

Hi S.H.,

First of all I am sorry to hear of your second son's dx. Is it possible that this is affecting you a lot more than you realize? It is not a small thing to receive news like this. It is bound to affect your anxiety levels....so I think that taking time to process this fully, and being patient and gentle with your own reactions is in order.

While this is not the news that you were hoping for/expecting, the good news is that you have experience with this, and your family will be able to handle the challenges that may come up.:)

Great job on taking the steps that you have to be healthy! Try not to look on these things as restrictions...but rather great moves towards good recovery! Keep up the good work.

Also, taking care of your anxiety management will be crucial for you. Finding the things that work best for you, whether it be exercise, meditation, progressive relaxation, hobbies and interests to keep your mind off of life's stressors...all will help.

Keep posting here with us as well. We are here to listen and support anytime.

Peace and calm be yours today.:)

Hey mate,

having the exact same issues, feel like your outta breath and sick feeling comes over when you move quickly. Not sure where you live, but I'm in the allergy capital of the world, Lousiville KY. And molds and pollens are really bad. I have all the same symptoms you have and know that when the first frost comes these will go away. Also I tried this the other night and seems to help some for breathing, warm up some water, dump some salt in, stir then wash out your nose....really good either inject it with something or snort it..do this for 5 or so minutes it helps. Hope this helps. I should have stay in Australia

thanx scaredy cat - good advice - i am taking one day at a time

having my camonmile tea right now ;)

i must be doing a bit better these days - i find the mood stabiliser is helping i seem to be talking to people more these days and interacting more at work - had some comments about me coming out of my box - now there is talk of a promotion - not quite what i was going for

cheeterky - yes i have head salt water is good for this type of thing - not exactly sure how to rinse the nose this way - a guy at work has a sodium tea bag which he puts into this sauce bottle looking thing which he fills with water and squeezes the bottle.

sounds freaky to me

That is really great news about work!! I am really happy to hear this, thanks for sharing that.:) I hope that it continues to go well and that you get the promotion if you want it.

Okay, the nasal wash can be bought at any pharmacy now...I got mine at Rite-Aid I think. It's called a Netti Pot, and I think it was marketed by an doctor who had roots in Eastern Medicine (Indian?)

You should buy the pre-measured saline packets to be sure that you get a good ph and always use bottled water.

It does take some getting used to, but it can really help with sinus issues for some.

I use it during cold/flu season to wash away any 'bugs' that may be trying to take up residence...since I have a high exposure! (I have about 130 students that I teach per week)

It is not for everyone...you let the water go up your nose while your head is tilted down...your mouth is kept open, so the water runs out that way (eesh!)...but my dotor recommended it for me and it seems to work, so you may want to consider looking into it.:)

I hope that you feel better soon,

S.C.
