I totally relate. I have had asthma since I was 10. Allergy shots three times over the years. Lived in three states, had allergies in all three states. I am 71 now. Off and on as you say. Three years ago I couldn't quit coughing. Primary ignored me when I said it was asthma so I found an allergist. She found that I had allergic eosinophilic asthma. Fast forward to now. I now have non allergic eosinophilic asthma. I also have reflux and have had for years - it runs in my family. The reflux makes it worse so I have to keep that in control. I am on a biologic along with all the other standard inhalers, singulair, Claritin, you can imagine. It is frustrating to say the least. Most days have some time period that are difficult - but Mayo is a life saver.
