I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks breathing is important

I once told my neuro nurse, who was amazingly wonderful, within the first 5 minutes of seeing me she could pick up whether I was having a good or bad day. I was trying to explain about my breathing, and the best way I could was that "sometimes its easier not to breath" that is, there seems to be so much effort in trying to breath in and out, that not doing so that is less tiring. Its just a shame that I need to do this, cos its using up valuable energy
