We need to get you to a relaxive state. Once breathing won"t work how about exersicse, stretching, relaxing music and move your body slowly with it. When your desperate you will try about anything, BEst of luck

you may have sleep apnea, doctors often miss this, do you snore or are you restless when asleep, read up about it on the net

remember anxiety sufferers can also get physical problems

dorkieyorkie (cute name) Yeah, breathing doesn't work. I'm trying to get back into yoga but my dermatomyositis makes my muscles weak - just kneeling with my butt on my heels hurts. Gonna try to stretch 'em out! Meanwhile - I can roll make neck and do some of the exercises I led at the nursing home when I was an activities assistant, lol.

I've had a sleep study done. No sleep apnea. Doc said I had perfect sleep patterns. Doesn't know why I'm so tired.
