Psychogenic Habit Cough --- Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy?

I've suffered with a chronic cough for 30 years. Was told 30 years ago I have Vasomotor Rhinitis. Nothing seems to work or help.

Recently an allergy doctor told me he thought I had psychogenic habit cough. My further research indicates that I may have laryngeal sensory neuropathy.

Has anyone had experience with either.

Personally I think it is laryngeal sensory neuropathy. While I try to stop coughing and have been somewhat successful, I do have symptons of dry tickle, tickle in my throat, throat spasms for known and unknown reasons (irritants, etc.) I cannot tolerate tobacco smoke indoors or out of doors and have a stuffy nose a lot of times with a post nasal drip. Colognes also affect me, as do other irritants. All medications I have tried thus far, do not work. Anyone have info. or advice. Thanks much.

Google laryngeal sensory neuropathy to find an ENT near you who understands this strange malady. Most of them practice in teaching hospitals and are researchers in ENT.
