Lorna, It just doesn't seem fair that we have to suffer for trying to enjoy our lives like "normal" people, does it? I'm sorry to hear you are hurting. Seems...
Lorna, sorry to hear your flared up big time. That stinks. I know - anytime it gets real cold I flare up or when I get stressed I seem to flare. Grr - like you...

I was just wondering if anyone experiences this symptom with a costo flare? The PA at my doctor's office said this is not a symptom. I kind of disagree but...
Hi Jenni, When I'm in mid-flare, my muscles get tight and I feel like I can't catch a deep breath. I feel the need to try to take a deep breath or yawn, and...
... Hi Jenni Shortness of breath might not be a symptom of costo more of a consequence of shallow breathing due to your ribcage not wanting to expand as much...
Yes, I was even treated for asthma for a while before I realised that it wasn't asthma (and asthma medications didn't help) and it was 'just' the costo. I find...

Barbara, Can you elaborate on these deep breathing exercises? Even with no Costo pain, I find I permanently do not have the breath control I used to. I used...
Hi All, I don't know why giving up caffeine works, I only know that it does (for me)! Sorry. It does help with breast pain too which can aggravate the Costo,...

You are absolutely correct in correcdting me on the minerals. The dosage is NOT 200 times and I have to apologize profusely for that. It is 2 times the RDA....
