@sueinmn I have asthma with no wheezing but a bad cough. I have COPD, sob, emphysema and bronchiectasis and possible Mac. I have been on trelegy for years. I'm usually on prednisone 2 to 3 times a year, which is really starting to have some pretty bad side effects, high sugar, high blood pressure, terrible headaches. I just got switched to Breztri which does nothing for me. Went back on Trelegy
I neb levabuterol, sometimes budesonide and 3% saline. I have a constant nonproductive cough.
I am at my wits end.
Not long ago, I had a very severe reaction to someone cooking a lot of garlic. ( I cannot eat it.)
I am sensitive to all scents, smoke, exhaust, etc.

@km6 Wow, I would be feeling overwhelmed as well. Are you being seen at a lung specialty center? They are accustomed to treating complex cases in a way that a general pulmonologist is not. Here are lists of the centers identified so far:

And an additional list just released yesterday:
