I’m so glad to find this space. I’ve been dealing with a chronic cough for over a year. Like others have mentioned I have tried cough suppressant, inhalers, allergy medicine, acid, reflex meds and none work. I’ve seen a pulmonologist done breathing test and chest CT. I’ve tried different types of inhalers because they thought it was asthma. Nothing seems to work. Finally, my pulmonologist referred me to ENT. I saw them last week and after speaking with them about what I’ve been dealing with for the last year, and all the things that I’ve done and tried, he diagnosed me with neurogenic cough. He said that it goes undiagnosed quite a bit. He put me on amitriptyline 10 mg that I increase every five days until I get to 80 mg but can stop at the dose that seems to lessen my cough by 80%. Praying this works, it has disrupted my life quite a bit. People I work with constantly think that I’m sick and I have to explain that I feel fine and it’s just a chronic cough. Being in public and coughing people stare at you like you must have Covid. It’s disrupt to sleep and daily activities. For those of you that have been dealing with this for 20 years, I’m so sorry. I cannot imagine looking back 20 years from now still dealing with the same cough. Hoping we all find something that works.

By chance have any of you been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder? I have been and I’m wondering if this cough has anything to do with it.
