Welcome @kmbraze, Sorry you haven't been able to find any relief for the coughing. Here are a couple of reference articles that discuss treatments that might be helpful.

It sounds like you've seen a lot of different doctors and specialists. Have you thought about seeking help at a major teaching hospital or health facility like Mayo Clinic?

I have not thought about Mayo Clinic as of yet. I live in California and we do have UCSD which is a teaching hospital that has done some pretty great things. I may research to see if they have any doctors there who deal with this type of cough. Thanks for the articles. I’ve adjusted my gabapentin dosage a bit to see if it helps. I did just have cervical spine surgery which I see can be a trigger and I was taking gabapentin before and for a short time after surgery. As soon as I stopped this episode of coughing started So definitely something to consider
