Anyone have Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy?

My chronic cough started after two severe colds in a row. I just kept coughing. For 30 years. I was treated for asthma (the inhalers made me cough), and allergies (oral meds and weekly shots) without relief. The only thing that worked was antihistamine. I would take up to 10 a day to avoid coughing at work. I was finally diagnosed with laryngeal sensitivity neuropathy by an ENT, who prescribed 5 mg amitriptyline daily. It worked like a charm for a few months until it didnt. I still take allergy meds daily, but i dont think they help. I'm still dependent on antihistamines - every few hours day and night.

I actually joined to share my experience with Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy to maybe help the OP but I think your post might massively help me.
I had an episode of LSP in 2022 that seemed to subside with my hospitalisation due to extreme Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms in my legs, I couldn’t feel to walk. I wasn’t even treated for the hoarseness but for the legs and the voice came back after Pregabalin and 3 days of IV vitamins 3 times daily.
But, for at least six years I have suffered a constant, non-productive cough. Now I’m wondering if that is also connected. My issue is that I also have lung problems so the cough has been linked to that. I haven’t even mentioned it yet because I didn’t think it was relevant.
Thank you, you’ve given me a lot to think about!!
