Coping w/Asthma
- Stay active. I've made exercise a part of my daily routine. When an asthma 'event' doesn't permit it, I try to stay as active as possible. Exercise seems to have helped the bottom of my asthma cycles from hitting the marianas trench.

I cope with my asthma...
- by first keeping calm, keep moving daily so as to not gain weight, which makes breathing more difficult, eating nine 1/2 cup servings of fruits and vegetables daily and of course take my meds and follow my action plan:)

Asthma Coping
- Exercise helps me cope with asthma and everything else in life. In order to do this I need to follow my asthma action plan and monitor my asthma closely. Luckily, when I follow my action plan and take my controller medication, I can do nearly any sort of exercise that I want.
