Chronic Cough Update:

Went in today for a "metacholine" test to see if what I had was asthma or not. They give you increasing doses of metacholine to breathe, which is supposed to trigger asthma if you have it and affect your lung function, which they measure.

It happened and it happened. But apparently not enough for a formal diagnosis of asthma. I lost 17% of lmy lung function through the tests, and while that's a lot, it's not enough. So the doctor will look into something else that could be causing this.

I've decided I'm going to pursue this until the insurance runs out, and then "wait until somthing breaks and fix it then."
